I have been a Canon inkjet printer fan for at least 2 decades now and this one is a worthy successor to my last one, a Pixma MG5522. It is quite compact, much more so than the MG and MX lines were, and significantly quieter than prior generations both during printing and scanning. The TS line preserves the custom of individual ink tanks. Over the years I have always selected models that have individual ink tanks because the cost savings by having these is very significant. Every printer I've ever used that requires a tri-color cartridge runs out of one of the three colors much earlier than the others (which color depends on what you've been printing and it's usually cyan or magenta). This system allows you to replace only the color that has actually run out. An additional advantage, for those who want to go with refillable tanks, is that these are already on the market for the TS series printers. This is the first of the Canon wireless printers I've owned that actually supports the auto power off/on feature when connected wirelessly. This is a great energy saving feature that puts the printer into a sleep state after it has not been printing for a time period of your choosing and will wake it up when you next send something to be printed. My only complaint about this is that the initial wake up time when that's needed is much slower when being triggered wirelessly than the same feature was (and, perhaps, is) when there is a wired connection to the printer. In order to save paper I generally use duplex printing and the auto-duplex feature makes that easy. The rear paper tray is a big bonus when you are doing photo printing because you can load the photo paper easily for single-sided printing without having to pull out the lower tray and the way it feeds paper minimizes flexing of the sheet. One potentially annoying feature is that every time you pull the paper tray to refill it, when it is reinserted you are asked to register the size of the paper that is in the tray. If you have frequent occasion to be changing out paper sizes this feature is great, but if you don't it's less so. You can have a persistent size registered if you generally use, say, only letter size sheets in the paper tray, so there is a way around this. If you use that, though, and do place another paper size in the tray you need to remember to register that size manually. I personally prefer doing the paper size specification via the print dialog as it's always been done before, but that's just my preference. No default settings on any device are going to suit everyone's preferences. The scanner works very well and is simple to trigger with the Canon IJ Scan Utility and the automatic document type sensor feature works very well. The automatic OCR function when you tell it that what you're scanning is a document works almost perfectly, even on less than perfect originals (e.g, 10th generation photocopies, water-stained books, etc.) This is a great all-purpose printer and scanner that takes up little space, prints clean and crisp documents and pictures, and takes very clear scans.

After several attempts to set up the wireless printer I was unable to get a connection to the computer. I called in a second person, familiar with printers and computers and they too were unable to set it up. As a stand alone printer it works fine. I have just purchased a Canon hdmi cord and will try that method of setup. Going online for the manual wasn't an easy task either. This is the third Canon printer purchased. The other two were easy to install and work as intended.

Love this printer, small compact unit that really packs a punch, does it all. Easy set up many features first canon product purchased. I had waited for years to buy a new printer to replace the huge clunky old one I had for 14 years. Really can't say enough good so many great features, if your looking for a nice printer with a small footprint buy this make and model you won't be sorry.

First off, it does work: prints & scans with good results. Using it with USB cable attached to PC, which was easy to set up using on-line install. But... 1. Its very flimsy - cheap plastic trays/doors/etc. are going to break with any (even minor) abuse. 2. The paper return (to catch output) is a joke: It will hold 1 sheet, but 2-3 sheets slip off and fall to the floor. [Will be building a plywood 'catch' to hold output.] 3. The manual is on-line. Which works WHEN you've got connection... 4. It appears to interfere with other USB devices - enough to sometimes drop keystrokes and/or mouse movements or clicks. This behavior appeared with the installation of the software (and does not relate to the printer being attached or powered on).

Previous to buying this canon printer i had another brand for years, but the service was outsourced. The inks were also expensive and after having a bad experience, i decided it was time for a change. So far I am very pleased with the overall experience with Canon....
