It's a winner for me

I wanted to review this multi-function because I noticed it's rating is a bit low. Anyway, I've had mine for about a year. It's worked well for me. I use it with Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu. Just updated the firmware and now I've got airprint on the iPhone. Copy, scan and print all come out looking really good.

This printer is easy to set up and after two months I am sold on it. The color of photos is outstanding and the various functions are easy to use. I think it is a great printer for home use.
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, easy to use

Drivers
on January 13, 2015
Posted by: John
When I disconnect this printer from the network by powering it down and unplugging it, I have to re-install the drivers for my computer to print to it again. I tried re-connecting the printer to the network and it still requires me to re-install. Wouldn't recommend the printer.

Not USER Friendly

This is not an easy printer to install. For reasons unknown, it doesn't print a job or just stops printing in the middle of a job. Reliable in a way but if you have a lot of printing on a regular basis, don't buy this printer.

Great - but learn the ink settings!

I've had the Canon Pixma MG5320 for several months. I am extremely pleased with how easy it is to scan, copy, and print for standard home use, with excellent quality plain paper prints made - especially for the price. The photos that we've printed have been slightly off in color, so we'll only print for casual use, and print our "artsy" photos at a lab.
SAVING INK:
1. This printer has a pigment black tank, which is separate from the smaller black tank that is used with the three yellow/cyan/magenta tank to create color printouts/pictures. Note that the default for this printer is for it to stay on until turned off (both done manually). You can change the setting to have the printer shut off after a certain period of time, but DON'T do that - reason is that every time the printer is turned on, it cleans the print heads, which wastes a bit of every ink color every time. Turn that baby on and off several times a day for different users, and you waste ink fast. (Note that the door to eject copies opens automatically with the first print job, and that it will reopen again if you close it gently between print jobs in order to conserve space or keep the dust out.)

2. Check out the following article on Canon's website. You'll learn how to use the pigment black ink only (cheaper) for b & w printing, by adjusting defaults. Be sure to bookmark or print this out so you don't waste most of the first color tanks of ink like I did by printing duplex in grayscale (and shutting down and starting up the printer several times a day)!
To get to the article: from the Canon product page for the Pixma MG5320, choose "Service and Support". A search box will open below the product info. Type in "Print using black ink only". You'll get articles on this for both Windows and Mac OS (I use Windows). Save this info, it's VERY handy, and will help you to conserve the more pricey color ink.
Pros: easy operation, fast printing, excellent multi-function
Cons: must turn on manually, photo colors a bit "off"
