Did not work for me!

Long time Canon user: extremely disappointed!. I ordered this printer on 9/15 and could not get it to properly work, no matter what I did. Laptop is a M2 Max with 32GB of RAM and running Sequoia 15.0. Downloaded Canon PRINT software utilities, installed the software and printing was super slow. Scanning was spotty and when it worked, it took over 5 minutes to scan a page (default dpi). Wi-fi is not an issue. I called today to get an RMA. Will be looking for another Canon model or perhaps another vendor. Sorry Canon!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good printer but has a couple of things I don't like. I miss the paper tray that you could load from the front. I also don't like that I have to take the paper out of the back to feed any other paper.

The use of this printer and scanner are user friendly as you would expect. I have not printed other than letter size plain paper images. Most all prints have been B&L or color pictures that I use for reference drawing or painting. It could be me, but no matter how much I enhance the subject picture in software, it prints out really "washed out" (that's the only way I know to describe it). The B&L prints in shades of gray with very little contrast. Color prints are pastel for lack of a better way of putting it. Everything else is fine with this printer but these issues along with ink use are what I bought this printer for. So - - -

Nice little Printer with a lot of features

Keeping in mind my Canon PIXMA MG 5320 Printer lasted a little more than 9 years, and never had a problem with it.
This Mega Tank PIXMA G4280 is pretty fancy and has a lot of bells and whistles. It is going to take me a while to figure out how to use it more fully if I ever do.
When I bought this printer I thought it had a paper tray on the bottom. It does not. The paper supply feeds from the rear of the printer. As with any rear fed paper supply the support that holds the paper in place is a little flimsy side so It is often necessary to check and make sure the paper is set straight so the rollers can grab onto the paper and pull it through.
The windows for checking ink levels are too dark to see through.
Side to side: 16-1/2" Your printer will need space while it is working.
Front to back: about 28" to allow room for the paper support and the paper without interference, and for the little pull-out tray in front to catch the printed sheets.
Bottom to top and above: 16-1/2" tall to allow for the paper and paper support to be pulled out fully.
All in all it is a pretty nice little printer and it is not too expensive. I bought one full set of replacement ink bottles also not very expensive. It prints beautifully nice and clear edges.

The printer itself seems to be high quality. The setup guide is mostly just pictures without text, which would be OK except the pictures showing how to fill the ink tanks are frustratingly vague and it took me quite a while to figure it out. Once I did, however, the actual process was simple. BUT the Achilles heel of this printer is the troublesome connectivity. I have been unable to share this printer between my two Windows PCs. Canon support was very patient but we could only get it to connect to one computer at a time, and as soon as it connected to the second it dropped the connection to the first. This was no problem for my old PIXMA 870 which sadly died after 10+ years. My excellent experience with that printer was the main reason I bought a new Canon printer, but unfortunately this one has been a disappointment.

Sleek, efficient, awesome!!

I received the printer for free in exchange for my honest review. I truly am impressed by this printer! First off, it’s very sleek and modern looking. I love the white color, the size of the screen and overall appearance/size. It was super cool to empty the ink cartridges into the colored/black slots. I feel this refillable feature will save me money in the long run, and it’s nice not to have the old school little clip in ink cartridges. Printing was very fast and the colors were crisp, vibrant, and clear. I am throughly impressed and have already recommended this printer to numerous family members. 10/10 would absolutely purchase!

Simple To Use

I want to preface this by saying I received a free printer to try out. I am giving my honest opinion on it and want it to be known that I would not let the fact that I didn't pay for it, color my review.
Very easy to setup and use. Intuitive. Filling it with ink was a cinch which surprised me. I've always had hassle with switching out ink cartridges but the bottles you pour in make it straightforward. I liked that. Printing has been great, I use my phone and the app or I send documents over the wifi. Very happy with this. So far, no issues so I'd rate it 5 out of 5.

Great home printer

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This canon printer was very easy to set up. It has a user friendly screen that makes making changes to page sizes and types a breeze. It runs fairly quickly. It is a great home printer for general use. I’ve used it to print on card stock as well as normal printing and it has been great.
