Great pictures and value
on November 25, 2011

Don't let the one negative rant about wireless bother you. This printer has 5 photo color cartridges and produces outstanding pictures. You can do instant copies of documents, scan photos, and it has a separate pigment ink for text documents. Most printers will be connected with a USB cable and this works great. I have not tried wireless because my printer is near my computer.
My only gripe is the new ink cartridges are smaller and opaque which makes refilling them a bit harder (most will just buy new cartridges). You can buy online replacement cartridges which are clear. I get about the same amount of sheets as I did with my older Canon because the ink drops are smaller. I do a lot of photo printing and I can't see any difference between the Standard and High quality settings so using Standard will save ink and speed up printing. Great value for the money.
Pros: excellent photos, scan copy print, has photo gray for b&w, fast prints, separate ink cartridges for each color
Cons: opaque ink cartirdges
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Printer
on October 19, 2012
Posted by: MrAtariMac

I did my research, and everything eventually boiled down to the MG6220. It truly was the best value for the price, which includes consideration for replacement ink cartridges. Setup seems like it would be tough, but it's easy to walk through and just takes a few minutes. My home has multiple PCs (XP and Win7) and multiple Macs (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Mt Lion), and we all print effortlessly on this. Software warns when ink is low, and the printer has lights for each cartridge that blink when low and lit solid when close to empty, and they are easy to replace. It may take a little while to start printing, but once it does it kicks it out fast. The only things I don't like, but may not necessarily be a con, are: 1) Software extras - besides basic print, copy, and scan, there is software to hook into everything such as browsers which I wasn't interested in but felt compelled to investigate and install, and 2) the main paper tray doesn't hold as much as I would like, but that's personal. Lastly, when you get a good printer like this, your whole household suddenly has 'important' stuff to print (the old printer was a network printer and did a good job too), so you may need extra paper and ink early on ;^).
Pros: Compact Design, easy to use, features, value

No Issues

Easy wired LAN setup and print speed and quality are very good. My only real comment to others is that for Airprint (Apple) to work, you will need to update the printers software/firmware. The documentation that comes with the printer does not even mention Airprint. You have to search for it in the tech support section online. But once you upgrade to v2.0, Airprint works GREAT! So if you have an iPhone or iPad, this printer works great.

Amazing Printer!

I've been using computer printers since paper came perforated at the sides and PCs had parallel ports. Unable to count how many I've owned.
This is an amazing printer! For once, everything works including wireless and AirPrint.
Documentation, installation and update procedures are excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Frequent clogs a frequent irritant
on December 2, 2012

Overall, good printer. WiFi capability with printer in a "lightly sleeping" mode enables convenient printing from anywhere in the house without having to first make sure the printer is on.
Frequent clogging of print cartidges is a considerable irritant and fly in the ointment, however. The presence of quck and deep-cleaning modes for the print heads is nice, but also indicates this is a known (and hidden) Achilles heel that Canon knows about.
The need to "clean" the cartidge jets whenever the printer has not been used for a few days is an ink-and-time-waster. I've never had that problem in over a decade of using printers from another vendor-that-shall-remain-nameless.
So, recommendation to a friend would be with the above experiential information (which I did not possess) up front. After that, caveat emptor.
Pros: Easy Setup, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint, High Ink Consumption, continual cartidge clogging

Buy This!! Its a good one

This printer works very well although it takes up a lot of space. Set up was easy to wireless but the auto connect feature through the CD was confusing. So if your wireless network requires a password like mine did go directly to that choice during your set up and its a snap. I did notice that ink is expensive but people doing the reviews say it sips ink.
The air print feature for IPAD printing is a God send and the setup from your IPAD is easy. I like this printer, its easy to operate. If you want a nice wireless printer, this is the one. The price is very reasonable. Time will tell how bullet proof it is for extended operation but I trust it will work very well for years to come. Thanks Canon, good product.
