GREAT BUY IF YOU WERE IN THE STONE AGE

I ABSOLUTELY REGRET THIS PURCHASE, ITS NOT WIRELESS (WHICH IS IMPORTANT, THE INK COST MORE THAN THE PRINTER IS WORTH/COST, THE INK IS ALWAYS SOLD OUT AND VERY HARD TO FIND

Definitely not for seldom use.

Features are great, easy to use but unless you print often not the printer for you. I am replacing cartridges every time I print; about 4 times a year/every 30 pages.

Very disappointed

This is my second Cannon printer and I needed a smaller one to stay in my 5th wheel, as my husband and I travel a lot. I didn't realize it wasn't wireless. My bad because I assumed it was when I purchased it. I was in the middle of the desert in Arizona and decided to do some work, took it out of the box and not only was it not wireless, there wasn't a printer cable in the box, might as well not put a power cord. Extremely angry that it wasn't listed anywhere on the box, especially in big red letters "MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE PRINTER CABLE SEPARATELY"

awful printer

takes four tries to print something successfully. have to turn it off and back on between every document to even have a shot at getting it right on the first try. guess you get what you pay for.

It doesn't work. Period.

I got this as a gift. I was a little confused when I put the the thing together and there was no cord to the computer, but since I saw in the instructions something about smartphones I assumed it was wireless or something. Let me be clear, the instructions say there is no cord from the printer to the computer. So, I put it together, popped in the CD, loaded drivers, but couldn't get past the "plug the printer into the computer, stupid" message. Nothing in the instructions or online explains anything. I just now did this, so I'll give everyone an update after I waste another couple of hours of my life trying to figure this out. But, just save yourself a ton of frustration and don't buy this thing. Get something that works the first time.

Great value

Was looking for a reliable printer as my old wireless one sometimes connected to my computer and sometimes didn't. The Canon MG2420 fit the bill as there's a simple USB connection. Was easy to get connected and is compact. Would be great for a college dorm room. Price is right also. Has worked fine so far.

Look elsewhere

I would love to report on quality of image that the printer provides, but unfortunately I can't do that because it's not sold with the cord that connects the printer to the computer. Why would you sell a printer that doesn't have this cord included?! Now I have to add the extra expense of purchasing that cord to the overall price of the printer. Had I known, I would have just spent that extra bit on getting a better, wireless printer. What a rip off.

Quick, easy set up, simple design

This printer is compact, simple and easy to install and use. Print quality is excellent. It doesn't take a lot of space. Although it's not wireless, it's not really that big of a deal. You can just transfer and plug it to any of your devices without any problem at all. It's durable and lightweight. When purchasing this item, make sure you purchase the USB cable, since it doesn't come with it. The price for it was astonishing, This is actually my 1st Canon printer of ever owning. I am loving every bit of it, no doubt, prints professional. Based on experience, it appears to be a good purchase - will depend on how well the toner works / last. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the same. Loving my new Canon PIXMA MG2520. This by far is the best printer I have ever owned for the price. It does all the things I require and more. An excellent product. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

GREAT VALUE

This is my first Canon, but definitely not my last. My PIXMA MG2520 is the best overall printer of the two others that I have owned. The price was unbelievable, ink cartridges cost much less and on top of that " IT WORKS". It was easy to set up on my computer and has a really cool and convenient on screen system for viewing your pictures, documents and from there you can even turn it on. I would highly recommend this unit in a heart beat. Thanks Canon!

Great printer

This printer, a PIXMA MG2420, is a great deal. The set up is simple and the quality of the printing is exceptional for the price. I have had a number of Canon printers and this one is the best for the low price I paid.

New copier for a New Student

I am very glad I bought my Canon copier. I am a new college student and it was costing me time (and a bit of cash to have to go somewhere to print out any of my projects. I am happy with my new Canon PIXMA MG2420 printer. I just wish I could teach it to do some of my homework :)

Not what I expected

This printer is unbelievably noisy. Envelopes restricted to only 2 sizes. Find it awkward to use, on line maual is inconvenient.

PIXMA MG2420

Two months I have owned used until the first set of ink was almost gone. NOW DOES NOT EVEN WORK! Everything is hooked up correctly, not a problem with connection. All you hear when a "document is sent to print" is crunching and grinding noises. Pretty sad that I haven't had it even a year!

Best Printer/copier Ever

Almost unbelievable in the ease of use and sophisticated simplicity of this Canon printer. I have been on computers (and printers) for 28 years. No previous printer can compare with this one. Two sided? easy, color? beautiful. The price was low, the tech support excellent, the set up process perfect: put in disk follow directions! It is also beautiful, although that was not necessary, and maybe only in my eyes. This is the first time I have ever written a review for anything This printer gets my full enthusiasm. Thank you Canon for making such a wonderful product!
