Decent laser printer with older input console & terrible software

Decent Black and White laser printer.
The price drop due to the updatedLBP247dw model was nice as it's essentially the same, except the added cost for the touchscreen which isn't really necessary. Save yourself some money and get the LBP246dw model.
Haven't tried it out yet, except for testing, but will very soon, as a replacement for an older, outdated Brother laser printer.
The lower rating has more to do more with the setup connection which is still a pain in the butt!
Windows 10/11 actually has the printer drivers compared to the Generic drivers that Canon provides on the included CD and online support page.
It ONLY uses 2.4Gz not the 5Gz for wifi so do Not expect much speed, as there is a 3 sec delay for docs to print once sent to the printer from the PC.
For relatively faster speed, connect via cable to print, otherwise, use both cable and the 2.4 wifi. You MUST have the wifi turned on so other PCs and smartphones can recognize and use the laser printer.
For whatever reasons, the printer can NOT be found on a network. Don't waste your time like I did.
Connect the printer to the PC that you use often and turn on the wifi feature for all other devices. You'll need to download the Canon Business app on your smartphone to use the printing feature.
The printer does NOT recognize Apple's Airdrop feature so you must use the wifi function via print instead.
Canon really needs to revamp its software as it's Terrible!
Also, the Toner Status app does NOT work with the LBP246 model! It does work with the older Imageclass FM410 model.
Don't use the Toner Saver as text is printed relatively light. It doesn't look good when printing professional documents.

the printer that's more than what you'd expect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently welcomed this sleek beast into my humble abode, and let me tell you, it's more printer than I could've ever imagined needing. But, hey, greatness comes in all sizes, right? This machine isn't just great; it's extraordinary. First of all, it prints like a whisper in a library – you'll barely notice it's working its magic. And the magic it produces on paper? It's like the Mona Lisa of prints – crisp, clear, and utterly stunning.
Now, when it comes to capacity, it's like Mary Poppins' bag of tricks – seemingly endless. You can load up to 250 sheets, and there's even a collector tray at the top to keep your printed treasures in order. No more paper chaos, my friends!
But here's the real kicker – this beauty supports automatic two-sided printing. No need to print one side, flip, and print the other like it's the dark ages. It's all about efficiency, folks.
This laser printer doesn't mess around when it comes to speed – it's like a cheetah on caffeine, spitting out around 20ish pages per minute. And let's not forget that it can play with both black and white and color.
Here's where it gets even more exciting: it's a wireless wonder. Whether you're using a laptop, desktop, or even your trusty mobile phone, this printer's got your back. It's like your very own print genie, granting your printing wishes from anywhere.
Now, onto the cons – it's slightly on the heavier side, tipping the scales at around 40 lbs. So, if you've got back issues, be prepared for a bit of a workout moving it around.
In the grand scheme of things, this printer is the real deal, a total package that's as perfect for a small business as it is for a bustling household. We've even got it in action for homeschool and business projects. It's a speed demon with all the features and options you could ever dream of.
But that's not all – my creative daughter, who's into graphic design, has fallen head over heels for this printer. It's become her trusty sidekick for bringing her ideas to life, whether it's a poster board or just printing out her design brainstorms. The printing quality is top-notch, and it plays nice with design space. Setting it up? A breeze. Operating it? Child's play. It's the printer of her dreams, delivering stunning results every time.
In a nutshell, the imageCLASS LBP236dw is a game-changer. Whether you're a business owner or just a creative soul with a knack for design, this printer will make your printing dreams come true. It's not just a printer; it's a trusted companion in your quest for the perfect print. So go ahead, give it a spin and watch your printing world transform!

Really easy to set up and get working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this printer for my home office and was very surprised how easy it was to get set up and connected. Getting the printer connected to my computer and my phone via the Apple AirPrint was very easy and got everything working in under 25 min. The printer is a lot quieter than my previous printer and I can tell the quality of the prints is much better. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Work efficiently!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon imageCLASS LBP236dw has been a reliable addition to our small business. Its impressive printing speed of up to 40 ppm ensures we can handle our work efficiently. The ability to print up to 8-1/2" x 14" size is a bonus for various document types.
The 900-sheet maximum paper capacity is a game-changer, as it means less time spent on refilling paper trays. Plus, the option to add an additional paper tray is a valuable feature for businesses with high printing demands.
One thing to consider is the addition of a feeder tray for scanning or copying, which would enhance its functionality further. Nevertheless, the Canon imageCLASS LBP236dw's wireless and mobile-ready capabilities, along with its dependable performance and minimal maintenance, make it a great choice for small businesses seeking a fast and efficient printing solution.

User Friendly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll admit that I procrastinated using the canon printer for at least a month, but the second I unboxed it it was a lot less intimidating than I had imagined. I had to do was plug-in, the power cord and connect to my Wi-Fi by entering the password. That was literally the hardest part. Then I access photos from my iPhone and hit print then voilà!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked this up to have a nice home printer. Love the fact that it’s wi-fi capable and that i can finally cut cords from my old printer. Software and easy to use and ink isn’t super expensive like my last printer
