Very frustrating.

I don't like leaving a negative review because I'm a longtime Canon user. Their cameras and lenses are great! As for this printer though.... The print quality is great. Other than that this is the most frustrating piece of technology I own. It is constantly offline every time I try to print. Restarting it sometimes works but often it takes multiple restarts. Re-logging into the wifi sometimes works but not often. One time, after spending about 20 minutes trying to print a one-page document I got fed up and kicked the printer. It immediately worked. So, now if the restart or wifi reset don't work I just hit it a few times until it finally prints. Very odd design feature that'd not included in the manual. Canon: Did you intentionally make "punch out printer to make it print" a feature or is that just a weird fluke?
Oh, and it's been telling me I'm "out of toner" for about three weeks now but it still prints just fine. So, it's a con artist trying to sell me toner I don't need.
So, yeah, it prints great, but everything else about this thing is awful. Going back to HP after this thing croaks. That printer lasted a decade and never even had to think about it. It just printed. Canon, you should try that feature: a printer that prints when asked to.
This model Canon printer like the previous one has proven to be capable for small office chores. The visual quality of the print is more vibrant than the LBP613Cdw which I owned before. The printer is on a network via my local LAN at 100Mbit/s speed. It takes approximately 30-40 seconds for the printer to wake up from sleep. It takes about 10-12 second to print a page after wakeup. Speed is the same if connected using ethernet cable. Overall, I can recommend this for a home or small office setting.
I regret buying the Color imagClass LBP646Cdw. Very difficult to set up. In fact, I still don’t have the printer set up properly. Sometimes it prints and other times it won’t. The manual has not helped me. Extremely difficult to get the printer to print.
I received this printer for free in exchange of a honest review. Here is my review. This printer has been amazing. Print from my computer and phone without any issues. The quality and speed are great, and the printing quality is good too. I haven't been able to use the duplex printing, but the rest is really good. The printer is easy to install and connect quickly to WIFI. The only con is how bulky the printer is but the other qualities take over that.
I received this Canon printer for free in exchange for providing an honest review. After testing it over the past few weeks, I can say it has been a reliable and user-friendly addition to my home workspace. Setup was straightforward — I was able to connect it to Wi-Fi quickly, and wireless printing worked smoothly from both my laptop and my phone without any issues. Print quality is sharp and clear for documents, and photos came out vibrant with no streaks. The printing speed is reasonable and meets my everyday needs for home use. I especially appreciated the duplex (two-sided) printing feature, which saved paper and time when printing longer documents. Overall, this printer has performed well, and I would recommend it to anyone needing a dependable home or small office printer.
Review of the Canon Color imageCLASS LBP646Cdw - Wireless, Duplex Laser Printer I received a free sample of the Canon Color imageCLASS LBP646Cdw to review and am mostly pleased when using this device when printing from my mobile phone. I have tried many of the features that include full page color photo printing, duplex printing, and a mix of both full page and text. The color quality is very bright and vibrant, and the black text is very sharp. Setup was a bit challenging. Using the keypad to enter the WiFi password is not as easy as having a full keyboard. Once it was setup if works fine on my mobile device. The issue is that I have tried many times to have it work with my laptop and I just can’t get the printer to be recognized by my Windows 11 laptop. I have tried both wireless and ethernet connection without any success. As for the printer itself, it does work great with my mobile phone. At this point in my life, I only buy laser printers as inkjets will dry out long before I use them. I am happy with the quality of the printing of this device. The printer construction does not seem very robust. I am concerned that if will not be useful in a few years. I could see if failing soon under moderate to heavy use. But that remains to be seen. I don’t print very frequently as most of the information is on one app or another on my mobile phone. In summary, for light use, home printer Canon Color imageCLASS LBP646Cdw will suite your needs quite fine.
The printer was very convenient and helpful being able to print for my phone, wires, asleep and my laptop. Extremely useful and time saving and a great product.
Set up was fairly easy was done setting up in less an hour Straightforward and very convenient
Pretty speed is very fast and print. Both sides of the page is very convenient for working at home.
Was able to print multiple pages at once which saved hours on my day
