Worst printer I have ever owned. The colors bleed, print quality is atrocious, ink doesn't last long and the ink costs an arm and a leg. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. This printer is the hallmark of bad quality.

Though the website said it was compatible with Mac Ventura, the setup file was not. I was unable to run the full setup and therefore unable to access the printer "controls". I returned the printer.

Why on earth would anyone want a scanner that scans one side only? Seriously. This is what I thought - I have a 70 page document so let me scan it through once, flip it over, start again, scan on the back sides, merge the two PDF files and then sort the pages numerically. Yeah. GREAT idea. Why did I buy it? Because the Canon representative assured me that this machine scanned both sides. Canon - train your people. Or provide them with accurate spec sheets. You're not building rockets here - it's not that hard to make sure your people know what they are talking about.

Easy to use once set up. Canon did assist on the setup

Have owned several older Canon models and loved them all. This printer will be my last Canon. Paper tray isn't visible and is a piece of junk. Getting continuing error messages I haven't been able to resolve. Ink cartridges are too expensive and don't last long. My very last Canon printer.

I have been a canon user for over 20 years. My 922 was a workhorse but Canon discontinued it so I bought a MB 2720. My first MB 2720 machine was garbage, poor print quality, had to clean the print heads at least once a day or it would not print a line, got another one and this one is garbage too. Ink is expensive and it still needs the heads cleaned daily wasting more ink and paper. Avoid this machine if you value your sanity.

Great for printing photos! Makes photos from your phone look like they were professionally done!

The company purchased this printer a few months ago. It has so far given great service and reliability. We are very pleased with the overall performance of this printer.

I've owned an MB2720 for years, a great machine. I needed a smaller machine for a second location and got the MB2120. Canon has done a seamless job integrating access for the two machines on your Windows machines. As I expected, the MB2120 is also a great machine. I especially appreciate the low cost of operation with both Canon & 3rd party inks. Machine very very rarely mis-feeds paper or jams. The only part of setup that's a bit unclear is initial paper tray adjustment. The paper tray will seem too short for letter/legal paper and it is!. You have to make a 1 time adjustment to elongate the tray, after that just add paper when necessary.

My ADF sensor on this printer stopped working! When I put paper in the ADF it doesn't beep and doesn't recognize anything in the ADF and automatically scans the platen!!! Spoke to their support number that was a waste of time first off I was waiting for 45mins to get someone and when I did she had me check the fax and says the fax works, I tried to explain it wasn't the fax. She said I can pay to upgrade my printer but it's off warranty. I have always bought Canon printers for over 20 years and now am not impressed with this piece of junk. I've told many to purchase Canon when they have looked for printers as I've had no issues. I am now looking at Brother or Epson or HP now to replace this printer and the poor support given. Shame on you Canon for no support at all as far as this printer.

Printer arrived OK. Was very difficult to install. Setup link in directions did not work. With great difficulty was able to get it setup.

Not only did I make the mistake of purchasing this printer, I bought TWO of them!! There are small frustrations but the HUGE frustration is with the ink. Even if you are printing documents in black, when one of the color cartridges registers as empty, you cannot print! Add the coronavirus to the situation and running to the store for ink is not an option. Buying online is going to take at least 2 days depending on where I purchase it. I would blame myself if I allowed myself to run out of black ink, but to run out of cyan and not be able to print black is ridiculous.

I've been using this printer about a month with no problems for single/double sided printing, single-sided scanning, gray scale, and color. The drivers on my Win10 computer interface with it beautifully. I've primarily used the standard EPSY Canon app on my Android devices. It usually works well, but not as flexible as I'd like - some pages print too little on a page, for instance, with no obvious way to control that. Eventually I found a drop down menu to customize some changes. Have not seen any advantage to using the MOPRIA interface. The options appear to be the same, and using the latter prevents one from using the Canon default.

Been buying printers for over 20 years. Started having problems approx. 1 month into use. Had to change a faulty cartridge was told by support can't change cartridge until the printer let's me know the cartridge is empty. Was told to keep printing until cartridge is empty. Told support I can't print because I'm getting an error code 5200 which is telling me the cartridge is empty when it isn't. Incredible!!

I had a canon printer previously; this one seems to be the same in terms of quality. It uses different size ink cartridges though. The speed of printing is the same.

Canon says, "You can keep printing even after a color cartridge runs out.". LIE! Not even in greyscale. Canon says to clear a paper jam, "Slide the rear cover to the left then open it." LIE! Unless "slide" means stretch the part 1mm. In any case, you're not going to open it without breaking it, or harming yourself. So, to summarize- Run out of magenta ink? Run to the store. Get a paper jam? Throw out the printer. At least you won't have to wait for it to grind for 5 minutes while it "Prepares to print" anymore!

We were in need of a new copy/fax/scanner for our small business. I had seen this one on the Canon web site previously but delayed in purchasing. I recently went back onto the Canon site and saw this Maxify again. This time I purchased. I felt the set up was fairly easy - I started using immediately and fell in love! Scanning is quick and easy as well as printing - don't use the fax since I don't have a home phone but overall this machine is fantastic!

I owned the previous model (Maxify 2020 and had very few issues with it. It worked well for my wife as she printed all materials for her Kindergarten class for several years. I didn't hesitate to buy the next generation. The controls and features looked almost identical and since I had several spare ink cartridges on hand it seamed like a logical choice. The new printer is terrible. I went through two sets of ink cartridges, thinking the ones I had on hand may have been defective. I went through every cleaning cycle there was several times with no success. I am just tired of tinkering with it. So disappointed with the new version. Have to buy another machine as wife needs a functioning printer NOW. Guess I just got a lemon.

I like this printer, but it goes through colored ink pretty fast, even if you always print in black only. Ink is expensive. Shouldn't have to keep buying colored ink if you only print in black.

I have been a faithful Canon customer for many years. After the print head of my PIXMA MX 892 died, I bought the MAXIFY MB 2120 on the recommendation of the customer representative. Unfortunately, this printer is the worst I've had. I constantly have to clean the head, even when using Canon cartridges! In addition, you can only change cartridges once you run out of ink. I strongly recommend NOT buying this printer. You will be dissapointed.

Bought this printer about a month ago to replace a Kodak printer I had, the hinge broke on the access door, making it unusable. Setting up the WiFi was not easy on the 2120. The quality of photo prints is OK but not the best, on a 8X10 photo, faint lines appear on the orange and red areas. The ink for this printer seems a bit pricey. This is my reason for the 4 star rating. If you're looking for a good all in one printer this will do the job. Scans great, print is very sharp.

It's impossible to load paper and ink into this thing. You need a video to figure it out.
