Great printer. But ink is ridiculously expensive!

I purchased this printer about a year ago, and ever since I’ve had issues with it, you might as well spend more money and buy a better printer or just buy a different brand altogether.The printer is nice for basic things, but when it comes to anything besides computer paper expect to wait 5 to 10 minutes for a single sheet to print out, I purchased this printer to make prints of my artwork, when I scan them it takes up to two minutes, after that like I said it can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes for the machine itself to read your work and then print it.I can’t even begin to tell you how many error codes, all the little things that this printer will do to stop itself from printing, I have lived in three separate places with this printer and it still can’t work with the Wi-Fi more than half the time.Majority of the time it will stop printing halfway through and spit you out an error code or tell you that it can’t connect to Wi-Fi, and good luck using your phone with this it doesn’t wanna link up only when it wants to.The printer prints out mediocre Prints, it may take 20 minutes but the majority of the color that you want to be there won’t be there I should’ve bought the Epson printer.Overall when I spent $500 on this piece of junk a year ago, I did not know what I was getting myself into, canon itself can’t provide an accurate description so I had to get on QVC and watch two middle-age women present it to me.Don’t waste your time with this printer. Unless you enjoy waiting an hour or two to print five pages, not to mention the feed slot on the back only excepts one piece of paper, have fun.

Choosing a printer/scanner to go with my 2020 M1 Macbook Air was a lot harder than choosing a laptop, but after much research and procrastination I went with the Canon PIXMA TS9520 and so far I have not regretted that choice. My very old HP device was not able to connect to my current network (although it did at a previous residence) so as a back-up I wanted a machine that could be connected to the laptop via a cable. They don't include the cable, but I purchased one from Amazon. So far I have not needed it. From box to completion it was a little over an hour for a mechanically/technologically challenged grandma.Connecting to my network was a breeze (it didn't even ask for the password!), the ink cartridges went in easily, and the only issue I had was that the paper cartridge looked nothing like the paper cartridges my HP printers have had and I couldn't find it! I finally went online and found a youtube video that walked me through the process. In less than 90 minutes after I opened the box I had printed a test page and scanned a document. The automatic document feeder was very easy to use as well. The only negative I can report (and the reason I gave it four stars instead of 5) is that apparently this printer does not print labels (except for labels on printable CDs). I wish it did, but I can get along without that function. If you need to print address labels or lots of file folder labels that would be a problem. I think the adhesive backing is the issue. The documents it has printed for me are clear -- no smudges. I don't print photos or do much color printing, so I am hoping that most of the time I'll just have to replace the PGBK cartridge rather than the color ones. That is much less expensive. You can check the ink levels either on the display panel or on your computer (in Settings on a Mac). But Canon won't highjack your printer the way HP's Instant Ink seems to. At least I hope not!

I had my doubts at first with so many printers out there to choose from. Be sure to remove ALL packing materials and tapes. There’s a few places where those sneaky guys put some. Setup wasn’t too bad. Going on line to download a few things took me a few minutes to figure out but not too bad. Seems fairly user friendly. You will definitely need an internet connection for this printer to download drivers and manuals. Definitely download the manuals and register your product to ensure any warranty needs that may occur. I’ve only used the bottom paper tray feed so far. There’s a pull out tray to keep your prints off of the floor. This is the first printer I’ve had that had WiFi capability. That’s a cool feature there. So far so good. I ordered an extra set of ink cartridges. A set of ink cartridges comes with it. I wasn’t completely sure of that. Remember that this model doesn’t fax. Read the features you’re looking for before purchasing. Oh, one more thing, the display screen turns up to see it better looking down. It adjusts as you see it up to 90 degrees straight horizontal. Kind of nice rather than bending down to read it. I haven’t needed any tech support so far. Prints look good to me.
