As my wife mostly uses iti can only share my thoughts on it.
I did some test printing with it, and based on that I consider it an excellent printer. I was very impressed with the quality of the photo print it gave me on glossy photo paper.
I have yet to use the scanner for any thing as of yet.
I can't say much about the fax feature as it does not work with my VoIP service, yet. I have to contact my provider about changing settings on their end. I made all the necessary setting changes on this fax feature, and it still did not work.
It was not a messy procedure to fill the tanks despite a good deal of warnings in the instruction manual. It was also very easy to fill the tanks. As a precaution I did place paper towels under the printer before filling the tanks, but they were not necessary.
It gave me lots of trouble getting connected to the network, when I eventually got it to connect it often isn’t found by my phone or computer. Besides that it just has a very cheap feeling build quality and looks like it’s out of the 90’s. The print quality seems ok when you can get it to work.
My other cannon fell and broke so I went looking for a printer, I found this MEGA tank and it would do all the old one would do plus the big tanks. On Best Buy no software was linked so googled the cannon site for the drivers and software. For those with an old printer, best to remove and uninstall old software totally. Opening the shipping box was easy and this box is way sturdy. The instructions were hardly worth looking at. I googled the printer again and watched an unboxing and set up video. I did this and this was easy. Filling thte tanks had no mess or spillage as the tanks have a rubber valve that fits over the tank. So I tried installing the printer in Windows 11 and trying to figure out the drivers crazy file names was crule. Googled again install of this cannon model number andthe Microsoft store has a install that did not need down loading but ran on a click. It did the whole thing including drivers and wifi install port and the whole thing I just answered ok or yes it was so fast but all was done including an icon on my task bar to scan , document feed, print fax. Just a dream. I have used the printer now many times and love it as well as the software, It is installed to print from Word and PDF. just like my old one just different software. The start of the software to do scanning is a bit slow to run but works great . The software auto install is called Cannon-Inkjet-Smart-connect-1-11-1-1-0
