Nice printer, but not fast!

The printer does his job, but it is not very fast. It takes time to communicate from the PC to the printer, whether wireless or wired. The printer is alright for private use, but I do not recommend it otherwise. New to me was that you have to exchange the maintenance cartridge once or twice a year. Once full, the printer won't work until you replace it with a new one.
Bought it at a very nice sale. Turns out to be a great all-in-one printer!
The color printer using ink tank makes ink consumables cheap in the long run. So far I have made many color photo printings. All great and pro looking. The ink levels are still near the top. Marvellous!
The scanner, particularly with the feeder, makes scanning multi-page document quick and easy. Thumbs up.
Overall, the printer is easy to set up. All my PCs and mobile devices are now connected. Print/scan with ease, anywhere within the network.
I bought this to replace an older Epson Xp 830 printer as I print a lot and thought the mega tank system was the way to go. While it is a great concept, in every other aspect this printer is nowhere close to the Epson. Every time I try to print, my computer (Macbook Pro) can't find it without restarting everything in my house. My girlfriend has a PC and it is completely incapable of printing or scanning anything. It also cant do double sided scanning or printing which is a PITA for sure, especially when scanning legal documents. Now lets talk about printing photos. While the Epson had 2 paper trays and could detect what was in them, with the Canon I have to take pare out, put in photo paper and then scroll through a list of every paper type ever made to 'reset' the printer to print. Then rinse, repeat repaper to re enter whatever your normal paper is. While fully aware that most of these are really rich western person problems, we are where we are and if Epson can do it, so should Canon. I will be returning this dung heapo and buying the Epson, even if it is a little pricier
