Awful printer

This printer refuses to connect regardless of the device. I set it up connection restored, but only for a few minutes. Won't work from my phone, pc or chromebook. The biggest waste of $ ever

Do not recommend it

I bought this printer and regret my decision. It worked once and now its impossible to connect it online. I think its waste of money and will just have to through it for nothing.

Overall a terrible printer

This has never worked right, and might be one of the worst printers I've ever bought. From constantly going offline, never being able to connect it for airprinting and the sub-par print quality, I'm so disappointed. The cherry on top is that I have to PAY for support? Give me a break. What an absolute scam. I'm moving away from Canon products for good.

This is a nightmare!

I have had this PIXMA TR4522 for a few years. I bought it because of the price, on sale. It's the print, scan, copy & fax machine from hell! Set up & functioning is much to be desired. the only reason I haven't taken a hammer to it, is $$$ replacement! I bought this because my Kodak Hero died. It was the Best. i regret this purchase and often end up at the library to fax. Now due to a move , i have to set it up again! i dread it. Very disappointed, i bought it because $ cheap & name recognition. You get what you paid for. Hopefully it will be easier this time!

Terrible printer

This printer is LOUD, takes forever to catch the paper so constantly clicking, and was never able to hook up wirelessly to any device except our phones. We spent hours trying to make it happen - this should not warrant a call to customer support in the year 2021 when we all know how to connect wirelessly. Now, after 2 years of very light use, it will not print anything, is throwing a code and saying it requires servicing. NOT worth the price whatsoever.

Horrible!

Eats ink. Difficult to load when it is agreeable. Terrible Menu screen. I will never buy Canon again. HP has been rock solid for decades.

Not The Canon Printer I Have Had Before

Awful printer. LOUD, ink runs out quickly, paper doesn't fit correctly. You have to load paper with each use. I agree with others, it's JUNK

Hopelessly flawed printer out-bested my tech skills

I bought this machine after my beloved, low tech mg 2920 said the ink absorber was full and warned me that it would not be with me much longer. The TR 4520 printed for a few weeks, then I had a message that I had unplugged the machine in the wrong order. It consistently fails to print, fails to connect with USB, even fails to make a regular copy. I have deleted the printer and re-added it. I've tried to re-download driver updates. I've spoken softly, begging it to print my documents. No success. I am the type of person people ask to help fix THEIR printers and I usually can tinker around to get them to work. I am ready to call it a surrender. I despise this TR 4520.

Not enough room for paper, difficult to use.

If you can afford something better, buy it. I used to have a fairly basic hp model printer with no auto feed, so I replaced it with this, as an improvement. I figured out how junky it was, after it was too late to return. There is hardly any room for paper, the warrantee socks, and it stopped printing. I don't know why. When it was working, it was complicated to use, and the little window is barely visable. I would go back to hp in a second.

Do Not Buy If plan to AirPrint

This is possibly the most worthless printer I have ever had ! The chance your printer will show when you want to air print is maybe 1%. I will never buy another Canon product again!

The worst printer ever

It is incredible how short the ink in these printers lasts, it is much less than what the advertisements say, the ink refills are extremely small; and it becomes a problem it is disappointing, If you need to print regularly because you are passing a school or something like that, think of something more professional because this is honestly a toy. Even if you want to print using only the black toner CANON don allow that .WHY? You can do that with any Brother or other printers .Totally Disappointed.

Print What?

I must say that I have to agree with all of the reviews given on this Cannon Pixma TR450 Series Printer. I too from day one have been having issues with an error regarding paper, yet the tray is full. Also, connection issues. The printer works better if I print from my phone. I really wanted to like this printer. I bought it less than a year ago, and I too wish I could return it for a refund or another printer. Shame on you Cannon!

terrible

I'm fairly "tech-savvy" and I've given this thing hours of my life. Do not be fooled by the "easy to use" features. It has terrible connection issues, and is in no way user friendly. The app is also just filled with ads which is frustrating. Wish I could return it.

Waste of money

We started having trouble with it right away. Due to COVID-19 the store didn't have any stock of printers. We kept this one hoping to get it to work because we needed a printer. It only got worse. At first it had trouble with color printing and now it has trouble with everything. The worst printer we have ever had, by far.

Al-N-One: AWESOME!!!

II've had Canon Product doing college.... &believe me it was awesome doing my full courses/term of college. I never had to run out to a fedX to make copies for any of ymy asign homework, essays, virtual business finished worksheets, etc. My Canon 490 is/was always reliable.. The only thing I had to do was replace Inkjets. Sooo, now I have my own Pixma TR4520 all-in-one printer. STAY TUNE!

don't buy

I bought this over a year ago and has been a big disappointment. I have purchased at least 4 Canon printers over the years and have been very happy with them, that's why I purchased this one. The TR4500 series has been nothing but problems, with error codes for non existant assorted problems. I'm now looking to replace my Tr4500, that is in working condition, sometimes it works, sometimes I get a code, with a machine that works all of the time. I doubt it will be a Canon

Terrible Printer

This TR4520 has been a disappointment since day one. I had HPs before and will go back to them -- tomorrow -- as I cannot even get this printer to perform a simple function that I need for a work project tomorrow. I do not even feel good about giving this away, as the frustration level in trying to deal with it is enough to harm someone's health and well being.

Constant connection problems

Had three Canon printers before this but this will likely be the last one. Doesn't matter which computer I use it with, I get connection and non response problems unless it's directly connected. Fed up with it after 14 months and tired of playing with settings and rebooting,. Looking for a replacement. I would not recommend this printer.

Piece of junk

Printer kept saying to load paper when it was clearly in there. Also ?insert cartridge? kept popping up as error code? this meant that the tabs were supposed to align with the paper. Again, something they were already doing. One and Done for me with Canon.

Worst printer ever

I really hate this printer. I keep having to reset it between uses. Doesn't recognize the WiFi even though all the connections are correct. When it works the paper jams or I get a message saying it's out of paper when it's not.

This is perfect for small business or home office

some reviews say its slow. It's faster then my Lexmark. We use this as a copier only. Eventually I will try the app and print from my phone. Setup was easy just follow instructions. For home or small business (I'm a resident manager this is fine. This does everything I needed it to do and won't cost big buying toner. And for all the people who says it does not enlarge yes it does can even go from letter to legal I needed that for agreement. Solid machine have had no problems so far.

Love this printer, works great if you can find ink cartridges!

Great printer for the price

By bronx1100

It's still very new and I have not put it to good use, but from the 5 pages I printed, I'm very happy. As far as other reviews goes for speed, I didn't think it was slow at all if you're just printing documents. Photos on the other hand is different, but that's with any printer.
