Uses color ink for all printing
on September 22, 2011
Posted by: oregon
This is a good printer, scanner and fax. However, and this is a big however, the printing options are color or gray scale. In both cases the color cartridge is used and empties faster than the black one. I did not know this when I bought the machine. I will be replacing it in the next month or two after I do some research as to what machine allows for black printing only if desired.
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: High Ink Consumption, color ink for all printing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Printer but hard to scan
on December 10, 2011

I love this printer. I got it at a great price. It was easy to install wireless access. It prints fast and it looks good. I have not used it for pictures. The only draw back is that the menu is really hard to use for scanning. It finally worked but I dont know how I did it. I would like to put the item on the copier and hit scan and that be it. I had to work the menu from the computer and it finally scanned. Good scan pic but hard to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything on this printer has worked okay. The copy feature is great. I don't even have to turn the computer on to make some copies of a document while I'm running out the door. And you can just put a stack of papers in and it'll scan or copy them all--outstanding for a home printer at this price. But I have never used any printer that took such an incredibly long time to print anything, and that made SO MUCH NOISE. If I want to print one page of a simple document, I can count to 20 before the printer will start. And during that time, it's making a huge variety of clicks, beeps, grinding noises, whining noises, and other noises that have no name. Even when you turn it off, it makes a loud beeeep! And this isn't just the initial warm-up upon turn-on. If I wait a minute or so between printing pages, it will do the whole performance over again, both after it finishes printing one page, and before starting to print the next one a minute later. The word "cacophony" comes to mind. If there was a printer version of a mocking bird, this would be it. But I like mocking birds. I've had no other trouble with it except that it started printing the black faintly even though it's barely been used and there's plenty of ink. All of the features are great, and if I could make the thing shut up and just print I would like it pretty well.
Pros: easy to use
Cons: Slow Print Speed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ink Sucker

I love this printer, however it quickly uses up more ink than any printer I've ever owned. It's really frustrating! It costs approximately $50.00 a box for Color and B&W ink which lasts about a month; and I don't print very much at all! Make sure you turn off the feature that stops the printer from printing when the ink is low. Also there is no back light on the screen which makes it hard to see in low light. Cannon's customer service is great! The quality of the printing is great! It is a bit noisy and slow on start up. However once it's ready the printing is quick. The printing quality is great. The printer is well made. When using the software for scanning and so on, I find I need tech support and or the manual to figure things out. If you don't mind spending money on ink, then this is one of the better printers on market.
Pros: reliable, durable, High Quality Output
Cons: Slow Print Speed, Difficult Setup, ink does not last.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A most excellent device

The MX340 has been consistently reliable for printing, scanning, faxing, and copying. I was surprised to find out that there were printer and scanner drivers available for Linux Ubuntu, which made it even more appealing to me. Setting up the printer in both Windows and Linux is pretty straight forward. Nice job Canon!
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, Small Footprint, High Quality Output, fast print speed, easy to use
