paper tray broke and ink hog

scans a good as a cheap printer, however the paper tray became more and more difficult to open and eventually broke, calling the 800 number be prepared to wait and wait as no one is going to answer the call and you will need to get on with your day. I thought HP had gone to the dogs, Canon is not far behind for making junk and not supporting it... sorry be prepared to buy gallons of ink!

Annoying printer!

I thought I was spending the extra money for good reasons...last longer, better quality, etc. What I got was a printer that runs out of ink every month.... this happens because it won't function if any of the colored inks runs out, even if you have it set on just black ink. I never had an issue like this with any of my other printers (which were not canons and my print load has not increased. I had to buy backups of colors I never used and canon ink is not cheap. The printer also goes through a 4-5 minute set-up or cleaning mode EVERY TIME I would start it up. It is so annoying when you are just trying to print something quickly. The actual quality of the prints and scans are good, but no better than all the cheap printers I bought before this one. I cannot recommend nor would I purchase it again. Guess I just paid for the Canon name.

Worst Canon printer I've had....

The previous Canon All-in ones printers I've had were very good, so I bought this one on sale - unfortunately I find this model is garbage... (Kids and I print approx 2-3 times per week / perhaps 5 pages total. -spends more time setting up and cleaning than it takes to print a page. -very loud. -we constantly seem to be replacing the cartridges and we use only the XL's and using the lower ink usage settings. -Can only use pricey New Canon print cartridges -- and --- No-one is able to re-fill this cartridges (I was told this was due to some sort of chip canon has on them that doesn't allow for them to be reset).

We have had the MB2020 for a year and have printed every day since we home school. It has done wonderful. It is now replaced by the MB 2120

Not

I was excited when I received this printer assuming it would last me just as long at the old one I had and cried when broke. It was not a Maxify. Well after 3 ink changes, it hung up and wouldn't let me continue changing ink. This one needs more work. Push a button and the ink is supposed to pop out, did on 3 tanks, but when I got to the black, nada. I was so mad, I unplugged it and picked it up and threw it in the dumpster. I have bought another Canon Printer but not a Maxify, 2 of them were enough for me.

Slowest Printer I've Ever Owned

I was excited when I purchased this printer, but it is far from the description on the box. Yes, it does wireless, but it is SUPER slow at transmitting. Even when I have it plugged directly into the computer, I can't believe the slow pace that it prints. It took over 10 minuets to print 8 pages of black and white. I will probably be returning this to the store. I love Canon cameras, and I guess I just assumed that their printers would be equally awesome. I guess I'll go back to HP.

Wonderful printer and great price

Purchased this printer after our printer of 10 yrs gave up on us. We were able to set it up in no time. All of our devices connect via WiFi without problems. Very happy with how user friendly it is and the quality of the prints. We were so happy with our purchase that we recommended it to family members and they got one as well!

Hard to understand

I have been using my MB2020 for several months and still haven't figured out how to scan a document into my email. The instruction manual, in my opinion, is very poorly written. It prints almost as well as my previous Canon but I am not impressed. Maybe that is why the special price.

Easy setup / mediocre interface

The wireless setup was a breeze. Very easy. Printing from my phone was very easy to set up too via Google Printers. However, I found the interface very confusing when trying to do simple tasks like finding the IP address or complicated tasks like setting up Google Docs. The initial ink cartridges did not last long (this is common with most printers but I was disappointed to see how expensive new cartridges are. Overall, this printer is average.

Alot all in one

What I like most about this printer is that it's fast & easy to use. Turns on quickly and ready to go in a few seconds. Prints out fast and your done. I don't like to wait for things to warm up, etc. and this one is on my timeline! Love it! Easy to assemble and set up. It's great that I can scan copy, send, everything all off this one device...and a bar at the top of my computer makes easy access, although it did slow down my computer and ended up taking that out. Only thing still haven't figured out is how to print from my phone...some reason that is escaping me... It's convenient and have really enjoyed using this Printer!

Awesome Printer

As a business owner, I'm always looking for a high quality printer I can use at home to handle all of my business printing needs. This Magnify printer has been a reliable addition to my home office, capable of handling the speed and quality that I need in a home office printer. The only drawback to this printer is that it is large in size, much larger than other printers. However, the size of the printer should not deter home office users from purchasing it as it is a heavy duty unit that prints at an impressive speed. I'm a mac user at home, and I like that this printer worked right out of the box, no fumbling around with extra set up (in fact, the entire set up time was extremely fast - approximately 30 minutes from out of the box to print). I was blown away that the air print function works so well with my apple devices. What I especially like about this printer is that I can work from one room in my home (a different room from where the printer is located), hit print, and voila ... my document quickly prints. My other unit was not as reliable or quick with this function, so I have been especially impressed by the reliability and speed this print function offers. Additionally I think that the print quality of this printer is incredible, and much better than other ink printers I have used in my home office. The one caution I would voice is that ink is quite expensive but I am impressed by the print quality so I can justify the higher ink cost as I'm receiving in turn a much higher print product that is what I expect from a home office printer. Finally I am impressed by the dual tray which can handle all paper sizes, including photo (although the photos aren't as good of quality as you would find on a dedicated photo printer). I am very pleased with this printer and would recommend it to any one who demands a high quality home office printer (for big or small jobs) that offers speed and nifty features.

With my new Canon MAXIFY MB2020 I'm seeing 20-20.

I've been using this Canon MAXIFY MB2020 that I received as a free sample and my vision has improved to 20-20. That must be because the clarity of the print on everything that I print with the MAXIFY MB2020. It was so simple to setup and use, my special needs sister-in-law came by and she was able to connect to the new printer via her cell phone and print every photo on it in under 15 minutes. So you know its easy. I like that it is able to act as an WiFi Access Point so you can connect to it wirelessly even if you don't have a router. Although if you do use this feature and you do have a router that you are connecting to the internet through you will not be able to access both networks at the same time. It does have kind of a neat feature where the printer itself is able to connect to numerous websites. i.e. facebook, twitter, etc... It also prints on both sides of the paper automatically fairly quickly. I believe I still like my laser jet for black and white document printing. I really like that it has fax capabilities also. Did I mention that it scans and copies too! It does it all!! So overall I give this all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/fax 8 stars.

The printer was packaged impeccably everything was in great condition! Set up was overall simple I had a little confusion with the paper trays there is a step by step illustration that is a little confusing but I figured it out. I am going to have to call technical support because I'm having a hard time getting the wireless printer feature set up for some reason it's not picking up my laptop. So i will have more to review once I start printing otherwise it's a nice printer kind of big but the touch screen set up is very easy!

Pros: Inexpensive cost per page if using the XL inkjet packages Fast printing Good photos & excellent documents Easy setup Good build/quality construction/sturdy Fav feature: Wireless & you can print directly from the cloud, internet, email, websites, etc from your phone, camera, etc without needing to connecting or transferring your computer Definitely recommend What could be improved/Cons: Price per page using the standard smaller inket size is higher.. would be great if they were priced as low/similar to the high volume inket size Nice if it had direct wif-fi (1 to 1 connection using NFC or similar so it could print directly to printer without need for both to have inernet connection..not a big deal if both machines are on a wifi network though

Highly recommend and easy to use

I have owned multiple multi-function inkjet printers over the years and the MB2020 is one of the easiest to use. Upon opening the box I was surprised how easy the printer was to remove from the carton. The printer is packaged in a plastic bag with handles, just lift the top Styrofoam out and pick up the bag by the handles to remove from box. Setup was easy, just follow simple steps on a diagram sheet, power on, and the front display tells you what to do. Ink cartridges are very easy to load; screen tells you which to insert and the ink slot moves to the correct position so your cartridge gets loaded in correct position. I am using my machine over wifi, to print and scan and the included setup wizard makes that easy to configure. The print and scan quality is excellent.

Best Purchase Ever

MAXIFY MB2020 is amazing! The ease of setup was surprising. I was able to do it myself. The ink cartridges are simple to put in as CANON has simplified the process by adding this easy guide to install each cartridge. I love the ease of wireless allowing me to print from my camera, phone and laptop! The quality of the print be it documents or photos is professional quality. It's scanning, copy and fax features work seamlessly. This is a great value for the money. It is great for a home office and all your families printing needs! I highly recommend it!

Solid printer

I received this product as a sample to review. Here is my take on the printer based on my moderately heavy use of as a small business owner for about a week. Overall this is a good printer with good prospects as a business level replacement to my current printer which is really for lighter home use. Pros -Prints fast with good image and text quality. -Quiet mode is great- no more loud printing! -Automatic duplex mode- this is a great feature that eliminates the need to turn pages over, I had a lot of issues with doing this right with an older printer. -Relatively cheaper printing. I looked up prices on the cartridges and for my moderately heavy use, the price per page is lower than with my current printer. -Scanning functions are great- I occasionally scan important documents for my business, and it's great that you can scan directly from the printer and documents can get sent directly to you computer as a PDF or jpg file. The scanner's automatic feeder works fast and is quiet. Scans are crisp. -Separate cartridges for Black, Yellow, Cyan, Pink cartridges. I hope this can help save money too. -Large paper cassette so no need to constantly add the paper. Cons -Installation was not hard, but still took me about a good hour to get it running on my first computer. I used my wifi network. Much faster to install on subsequent computers though. -I'm not sure how important this is, but there are only about 10 paper types that you can select when printing. And it's not all the standard ones you would expect like card stock. I printed on card stock without any jams but I hope this won't cause problems. - No manual feed (at least not that I have figured out). I use my printer a lot to print mailing labels and constantly having to pull out the cassette to add the labels is annoying

Solid Purchase

I was impressed with the printer for the price of the machine. It prints copies with sharp color and I didn't experience any trouble with it. I have an office at home and the size of the machine is very manageable. Plus the ability to handle copies, faxes and scans is a real perk. The wireless aspect makes my desk less cluttered. It exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this printer to anyone in the market for a printer. The only drawback is not as fast as most laser printers, but for the money it is tough to beat. Plus the replacement toner is much less expensive than a laser printer.

Good Points and Bad Points

The printer is an all-in-one -- printer, scanner, copier, etc. It is an interesting piece of technology all together. Is of a very large size and does take up more space then first expected. Was easy to put together/assemble. The biggest problem with the assembly was that I had to go out and buy a USB cable to connect it with my all-in-one which was an added and unexpected expense. But all the software was easily downloaded and was up and running quickly. The overall quality of the printing is concise and sharp -- both documents and photos but the printer itself is very noisy -- can literally hear it for the other side of the house. The paper can sometimes take a little long to load in the middle of a print job as well, but it prints very, very quickly. It does have fax capabilities as well but have not used this function yet (although it does have the fax cable included -- but not a USB ?) Overall, it performs well and as expected. Overlooking the extra noise, size and lack of USB cable, I think it is a quality machine and printer. Offering a great value with its price point

Good printer

This is a really good product for home business office needs. Packaging was excellent and handles on plastic covering made it easy to remove from box. Ink tanks were easy to install. Initial clean print head job (printer default) was a bit noisy and lasted for about 7 minutes. The online setup and registration took about 15 minutes and was successful. Product prints fast, connects to wireless router easy and my favorite feature is that I can print directly using my mobile device. Very easy to assemble. Good quality and looks nice too. Unfortunately, I was unable to scan directly from the machine using the Operation Panel of the machine while connected to my local PC via USB. I recommend using the printer software application in computer. I'd like to see an improvement in the scan feature of the machine and a touch screen Operation Panel would be ideal. I'd definitely recommend this printer to friends and family. I was most impressed with the wireless printing feature and how easily the product connected to my wifi network.

Canon MAXIFY 2320 - great printer!

The Canon Maxify MB2320 is a great printer for home, office, or school use. I am a grad student and print a lot of documents ranging from simple text to complex pictures, diagrams, and PowerPoint’s. This printer prints very rapidly compared to other printers I have had in the past that took quite a while to print one page. FAVORITE FEATURES XL ink tanks – There are only 4 ink tanks to this printer, which is a convenience factor in my opinion to only have to replace 4. The printer is also compatible with the XL cartridges, or the regular ones to give you an option of which cartridge you wish to use. The XL cartridges hold more ink, so you do not have to change them as often. In looking at prices for the XL cartridges, I see that the colors are relatively inexpensive, and the black (which is most frequently used) is a little more expensive. Of course this depends on where you purchase them, and how much printing you will be doing obviously correlates to how often you have to purchase new ink cartridges. This is just my observation. Two sided – I love that this printer has the capability to print two sided. This saves a lot of paper, and a lot of space by only using one page versus two. Scanner – This printer has the capability to scan a document and save it directly onto a USB drive, which is extremely useful. Wireless printing – I really like being able to print a document from my living room when the printer is located in the office. Wireless printing is an amazing feature. I love not having to fiddle with a cord in order to print something. Touch screen – The display on the printer is touch screen, which is a modern feature and is very user friendly. Printing from other devices – This printer can print from a laptop, a tablet, or a smartphone, which is definitely convenient for me, as I often download files to my phone and need to print those. Usage – This printer is also a fax machine, scanner, and a copier, giving it multi-functionality. ASSEMBLY/SETUP As someone who is not usually considered very computer savvy, I can happily say that I was able to assemble and install the software for this computer all by myself. The instructions were very easy to follow. I have a Mac computer, and do not have a CD drive. The printer came with a CD to install the software from. At first I was concerned, but then I found a website within the paper that came with the printer, in which I was able to download the software directly from the website with no issues. I had this printer installed to my computer, set up, and printing within 30 minutes. QUALITY I think this printer is of very high quality, and it is worth every penny! It is quick, efficient, and super user friendly. It produces high quality documents, and the features are endless. I am very satisfied with this printer. SUGGESTIONS The only thing that I would suggest to consider for anyone purchasing is the size of the printer. It works perfectly fine for me, but it is a little large and bulky for someone who has a small space to work with. This in no way would deter me from buying it, considering all that it does it probably has to be a little larger. But it is just something to consider for those with a small space. It sticks out about 2 feet with the paper catch out and sits about a foot high. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking to buying a user friendly, efficient, and high quality printer. This printer is capable of anyone looking to print up to 15,000 pages per month, as that is the duty cycle listed on the box. I am very impressed with this printer. I am hoping this printer will last me for many years to come, but down the road when I am to purchase another one I will certainly be inclined to stick with Canon brand printers.

Great Quality Printer

This is actually an amazing piece of electronic equipment which is ideal for the office of a small business. The setup was fairly simple and did not take much time to get the MAXIFY up and running. It was especially convenient not to have wires running to and from devices and I found the wireless feature worked well from both my laptop and iPad. The paper tray can handle half a ream of paper, which is a plus as it does not need to be reloaded as frequently. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the photo printing as well. Colors were vivid and realistic. I haven't tested the fax feature yet, as I did not run a telephone land line to the machine at this time. This printer is high quality, and I would highly recommend the Canon MAXIFY MB2020 for both home and office use.
