So Far, So Good!
Not certain why these places always want a review the day after the purchase but we plugged it in, tried it with black only text, then a color pic and it works great. it takes a minute to spool up but once printing only takes seconds. The expense of toner is offset by the number of pages we're able to get out of the toner cartridge and we don't have to waste a ream of p...

Rip Off
Bought this about 7 months ago. Waste of money. A great printer until you have to refill toner. You MUST use the VERY OVERPRICED Canon toner cartridges or it won't work. So if you are on a budget, this is definitely not the printer for you. I would go with a Brother. Mine was a complete waste of money.

What a printer!!!
It’s a beautiful printer. I wasn’t expecting it to be so large, but pictures can be deceiving.
Installation was easy, I didn’t have to download the drivers and the printing is clear and concise. It’s fast and the colors are exactly as shown on the picture. Not muted at all. It has all the bells and whistles and I’m very pleased.

So happy I bought this at Staples
I was hesitant to purchase a costly printer. This Canon is worth every penny. It works beautifully. All my printing, copying, and scanning is great. I even printed some photos. It
makes my life easier even for little jobs.

It’s the best!
We like the cannon printer! It’s the best. The toner is more expensive but the printer is worth it.

Wanted a printer that used toner ink instead of ink cartridges. Love the printer. Except when I want to enlarge a picture I wish it had Fit to the size of the Page like my older printer had instead of trying to come up with the right percentage on this printer. Waste a lot of ink this way.

Great printer
But heavy as heck to carry downstairs to our home office. Set up was easy to follow the prompts. Output quality is very good....and I'm a graphic designer!

Print fast but loud
It prints very fast but very loud. For some reasons, it lost connection to my computer and couldn’t find the printer. I uninstalled the driver but couldn’t find the driver by itself. It took me a long time to establish the connection back.
It changed the IP address and beeped automatically a few times in a week.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SET UP
I’m giving this printer/scanner 2 stars because it does print, and well, but HUGE problems setting it up. Was on the phone with Canon support for an hour and he still couldn’t get the scanner to work, and a serious IT guy also can’t make it work, but he’s going to take another shot tomorrow. Meantime I have messed up the printing instructions while trying – unsuccessf...

Stopped working 7 months after purchase
DO NOT BUY!!
Purchased this for my small business and at the 7 month mark it stopped working. Contacted staples and they recommended I call Cannon since it's beyond their 3 months mark of support. Cannon basically told me to purchase a new printer from them. Avoid this printer at all costs

Great Laser Printer
Had to buy a replacement to a Konica-Minolta 1690MF due to a lightning strike through the cable modem line for our internet. Printer was easy to setup and configure with my home network. Printed several pages with the initial toner cartridges that still indicate 100%. So far so good with no issues and great print quality. Easy order and received right on time as promise...

Fantastic AIO for the office, or home
Does everything. I got it specifically because it will do SMB scanning directly to a computer without having to rely on the software being installed. Great of an office environment. The double side scan option is also a great time saver.

Canon imageCLASS MF656Cdw
Although I had a great experience with Holly, I am wholly dissatisfied with the replacement printer. I previously had an imageCLASS 8560Cdw for 10 years. On the new one the touchscreen is horrible, Most times I have to press the icon several times before it actually goes to the next screen. Secondl the MF scan utility program feels like it was developed in the 1970s...

Printer is horribly loud
The printer started occasionally making a loud squealing noise (not the appropriate whine noise) while printing shortly after we purchased it. We dismissed it since it was only occasionally. Boy were we wrong! Now after a couple months of owning the printer the loud squealing noise is consistent every time we print. Other people in the office complain about it, it gives...

Great Laser Printer
Switched from an inkjet & I’m glad I did! Beautiful documents & pictures! Very fast also. Don’t know about ink because I’m only 2 weeks into with household printing.
You won’t be sorry with this printer.

Great After Setup
There were issues with the setup that were not firewall-related, but after figuring that out, it's been a great printer. It's certainly not plug-and-go. After you get the drivers that you need, it's a great printer. We especially like the double-sided printing.
