Excellent qualitry and value
on April 18, 2012
Posted by: Lee
from Baileys Harbor, WI
I had to replace another Canon all-in-one - a Pixma MX850 which I loved. After four years it needed replacement, and Canon recommended the 882 but didn't have any in stock so the next item they recommended was this 512. The packaging and set-up instructions were excellent, and the quality of the unit is much better than other competitive units available. I am pleased with all funtions of the unit however it is somewhat noisy during operations, what with the clickety-clack of the machine. That not withstanding, it is a great all-in-one machine.
Pros: good quality and value
Cons: somewhat noisy during operation
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy Set Up

Set up was easy and straight forward, getting all the shipping tape off the product was the only challenge. Windows laptop connected wirelessly without issue. Going to the Canon support website and following instructions got my wife's iPad printing wirelessly in 15 minutes. You need to read and follow the instructions carefully for installing Airprint for the Apple products, plug and play may cause some frustration.

EXCELLENT PRINTER

Received this printer from a vendor as a retirement gift 2 years ago. I am very happy with the Canon MX512. The cartridges (I do use only Canon) last through a full ream of paper. I occasionally print photos on 4x6 glossy stock and I have excellent results. Used commercial Canon laser printers where I worked before retiring which is why I wanted to stay with Canon.

good printer

I just got this printer and I got it for a good deal, some of the people complaining about the paper tray is just silly.
I've printed several pictures already and am pleased with the quality, have used the multi paper scan and I really like that(my old printer didn't have this feature), and the same with copy.
I liked how fast my copies print and the printer looks good. Setup was longer than any computer I've had to setup but what ever.

Hope for no jamming
on January 25, 2014
Posted by: big red
from Silver Spring MD
I was very proud of this purchase for the first 14 months of use. Then I had one paper jam which happened in the back and I had to open the back of the printer to extract the paper. And from then on, the alignment was off. I tried multiple auto corrects, and multiple manual corrects. Neither worked. SOOO FRUSTRATED, I could throw it off a cliff and feel much better.
Pros: speed of printing, wireless printing
Cons: alignment issues, paperjams
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Product!!!

This printer has worked perfectly for me. I use the print function in the wireless mode, which allows printing from laptops, smartphones and tablets. For the price I think it is a fantastic value. I have also faxed documents and used the copy function. For me it has performed as well as some previously more expensive printers that I have owned.

Disappointed

I bought this printer to replace a previous Canon I had for 8 years. I've had three issues with it.
1. Paper falls on the floor, even when the tray is extended. Very poor engineering design.
2. There is a huge lag when printing wirelessly. The dialog box to the computer says Printer not responding, and then it prints about 5 - 10 seconds later.
3. In the copy mode, it is very slow. I try to set it to the Fast Mode, and it won't accept the Fast Mode.

Didn't have any of these problems with the previous Canon printer.
Cons: Slow Print Speed, unreliable, long lag with wireless printing

Adequate, not wonderful

Posted by: Cowsintexas
from Texas
Allow 2 hours to set up, settings are a bit difficult to understand. Having trouble figuring out how to receive fax without answering machine getting it. Some print settings are hard to set. Otherwise, the print quality is WONDERFUL, it is quiet, looks great and i LOVE the Wi-Fi capability! Would buy again
Pros: reliable, durable, High Quality Output, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: Difficult Setup, menus are confusing
I would recommend this to a friend!
