Plenty of features

Good print quality but eats the ink up. If I didn?t need or want color I?d purchase a black laser jet.

Must have patience

You must have the patience of a saint to use this printer. The amount of time it spins and runs while doing nothing is crazy. I have been trying to print a label now for 20 minutes. I was low on ink, so tried to replace the ink. Won't let me. You can only change the ink when it tells you to not when you think you want to, and then each time you change one ink cartridge it takes 5+ minutes to spin and set itself back up. I might be able to get this one simple black and white label printed sometime today, we will see

Stopped Working after a year

Terrible product with little support. Kept getting Error code 5207 and nothing to get it back to working. Deeply unimpressed

Stopped working after a year

I bought this to replace a similar one I had. The previous one was a bit smaller and it started getting an error code. After a little over a year I got the same error code! I am a teacher so I use it to print some materials at home, but it does not get heavy use like in an office. Very disappointed in the product!

Wow! I love this all in one!

I run a small business and self employed. As such, I have to keep a monochrome laser printer for black and white mailings and also a color printer for advertisement and marketing. I only owned one Canon printer in the past and it was slow because it was more for those who want to print photo quality. I didn't realize that, so I was hesitant to buy this one. HOWEVER, I am so glad I took the chance. This printer is lightning fast. You just have to let it do it's thing for the first page, then it's off to the races. I cannot figure out why some of the reviews say it is slow! Maybe they are written by competitors trying to trash the site. I can only say that what they are saying is not true. It also is great for scanning and copying and the auto duplexing works flawlessly. I will be buying more for sure and hope Canon continues this model. For my business, this is the best inkjet I have owned, and I have owned many, from Epson to HP. This one beats them hands-down. If you are on the fence, take a chance like I did. I can't believe what I got for the price I paid! Thanks Canon!!!

Mostly very good, fax and scanning a bit of a disappointment.

Print quality and speed are good. Ease of use is generally fine. I have a problem receiving faxes (something I did not have with the HP this printer replaces. It does quite well at staying connected to the network for both printing and scanning, as does our other Canon printers. Reliable connectivity and print quality are the main reasons I bought it. We are not disappointed. (Our business has had more trouble with HP printers staying connected to the network.) My one major disappointment is that I didn't realize that it doesn't do duplex scanning. Had I known that, I would not have purchased it!

slow to print

Ive had this printer awile. It prints good copies but it is very slow. It never fails when I am in a hurry to print something I have to sit and wait while it goes thru ten minutes of making noise before it ever begins to print. Also the ink is expensive and doesnt last that long. I would not buy this printer again.

I have not been able to print for over a year. The scanner is awful. Cheaply made and I constantly get the error 7100 code.

DON’T BUY

I’ve had this printer for a couple years and the ink will eat your wallet. Constantly needing to replace cartridges. Very slow to print too. Buy a printer with cheap and long lasting ink.

Great printer has many options and good customer support

I bought this a few years ago (2017and really had to utilize this during the pandemic when I had to work from home. I use it wirelessly as well as hard-wired with a desktop and a laptop. I previously owned an HP and was always disappointed with it within a year or less.HP did not give support unless they charge you every time you call them. I do not have an IT degree and would like to be able to fax, scan and print for work.

Great Features

This printer does it all! People complain that it's slow, constantly in cleaning mode, turns off, etc. If you take the time to read the instructions, all of your problems would be solved. The unit turns off after a specified time to save energy but once you go to print something, it was automatically turn on. Having separate inks saves money and waste. There's plenty of after market companies selling ink. For the price, you're getting a large machine with tons of features and when it goes in a few years, it's not like you threw a lot of money away. You can't go wrong with this.

Don't buy if you are in a hurry to print anything!

It constantly goes through these processes and literally takes 5 minutes to print something. I've had it for three years and I am SOO frustrated!

Constantly in cleaning mode....

I have owned this printer for over two years now and I can honestly tell you its the absolute worst. It is constantly on "cleaning mode" which generally takes anywhere from 2-15 minutes. I swear it knows when you're on a deadline and need to print things out, because thats when it decides to take a fifteen minute break to clean itself... It also wont let you use its scanning feature if you are out of ink. do not recommend

Very slow to print

bought this a few months ago. have had other cannons but this one does not work as expected. It is VERY slow to print and I can no longer find a driver for the printer that works on Wind.10. I have had to uninstrall and reinstall every day. Now the message says that this driver is not available on Win. 10.

Backorder

I am sad and disappointed with the delay in Backorder. I placed an order for this printer back in August and did not receive it til a month later in September. When the printer arrived, the printer's cartridge system was defective. Processed an exchange with one of Canon's representative (NICE LADY but the order never shipped because come to find out, it was Back ordered AGAIN, However, I never received an email saying it was Back Ordered until I followed up with Canon representative. I am truly sad and disappointed.

I've always found Canon printers to work well

I work in IT consulting and install a lot of printers and was an early adopter of specialty printers such as photo printing. I've installed, set up, serviced and replaced a lot of printers. For home users and small office, Canon inkjet printers are great. This one has individual ink cartridges so you are not wasting any ink. The replacement cartridge costs are reasonable. Canon often comes out with the best per page cost when using the XL ink tanks. If you only print occasionally, many printers have issues with the ink drying in the print head and ruining the printer. I have never had that issue with Canon at low volume sites. This is a great home, home school, small business printer. Network setup was easy. The apps for scanning, etc are good. Document feeder works well.

Great printer great service!

This is a great printer! I got two! There was a little lag in getting them as it was in the midst of the COVID shutdown but once the manufacturer got it to them they sent it out immediately! Definitely would recommend this printer.

Great value

This was purchased for my small office and I fell in love with it an purchased one for my personal use. It's a great machine. The only con is that when it's off and I want to print I have to go where I have it placed to turn it back on. My old printer came on automatically when I tried to print something from my laptop. I don't know if it's my settings or something in the printer settings.

Canon printer

I’ve had this printer before. It lasted me 2 years of hard use, started a business and used the printer, scanner and fax almost every day. I was so pleased with it that I ordered another. I was on Adorama’s backorder list for a long time and almost gave up hope of getting the printer but Adorama did it! Thanks Adorama!!

I ordered this printer, then got an email it was on backorder. Called and was informed it wouldn't be until October to possibly get in. I believe it should say before ordering it, not after. Huge waste of time.

Great Support

By Michael 5.

I purchased this printer about a year ago to replace an HP all-in-one that I had been quite unhappy with. (I had great expectations for the HP.... having used them exclusively for years). Anyway I was thrilled with the performance of the MB2720 and it worked flawlessly for about a year. I then experienced a failure and was really bummed... for about 5 minutes. I called Canon customer support and the friendly tech asked me to try a few simple things and then announced he wasn't going to be...
