Very difficult to setup for wifi scan
on July 20, 2015
Posted by: Robert
I bought this printer when my epson wf2540 broke. The mx942 is very difficult to setup and has misleading info on the box. The box says it has scan to cloud options, it doesn't. It will scan to a computer via usb or on the same wifi network. If that computer has the canon scan software installed, and it's firewall is configured correctly. If that computer is setup to sync folders to the cloud then you can set up scanner software to scan to those folders and then the computer will send to the cloud. This is fine for me because I have an always on computer in my house for automated stuff. The wf2540 would scan directly to several cloud services without a computer, so this is what I was expecting for the canon.
The menus are not very clear for setup, and the screen is difficult to read sometimes.
The speed and quality are decent. In the end it works well enough now that I've got it setup that I'm not going to bother returning it. But I could see it being very difficult if not impossible for some people to setup the wireless scanning stuff. Wireless printing worked right away on all my macs.
