Very happy with this printer. I'm impressed! Not too difficult to assemble. It would have been a lot easier if they hadn't chosen to intersperse languages throughout the manual, making me dizzy, my only real complaint. Just put English in the front. Spanish next, etc...

Drivers were pretty easy to install. I found a video on YT that was very helpful, so if you're a newbie to connecting printers to Macs, head to YT for the emotional support video on how to do pretty much everything involved. I didn't use the disk. I just downloaded the driver software from the Canon website. I run macOS Catalina 10.15.7, if that is of help to anybody, and it works perfectly.

If you're a newbie, the printer's button functions are located on a quick access card, NOT in the manual. I couldn't find any info on what these buttons were for and what these symbols meant even after reading the manual cover to cover. It wasn't until I noticed the quick access card that I had any idea, so be sure to hunt for that user card.

This printer feels a lot sturdier than my HP. Some think it's too large. I find it to be a good, medium-sized printer. Not nearly as noisy as my HP while spitting copies out. Nice clean print. It does print a little lighter than my HP printer, but that doesn't bother me too much. I haven't used the scanner yet. I do wish I could slide the paper tray in without having to remove the paper Not sure how they missed that feature, but I'll find some solution. I am just proud of myself for connecting my very first printer.

It comes with an extra ink cartridge which is a nice bonus. I don't think I'll ever go back to an HP unless I need something fancier, and I'm not even sure that would make me switch back. This Canon is fine for my needs.

Basically, I had a canon printer that had served me well for about 10 years. I predominantly printed in black-and-white and used to just scan documents and copy. It used to be back in the day that you had to buy a printer scanner copy or fax which really was way too much of what I needed. I didn't even know that Canon made a black-and-white laser with just a scanner copier which fit my ticket perfectly. I spent about 10 minutes unpacking this unit and about another 10 minutes installing it. The driver was installed online and it was up and running in Microsoft windows 11 version 23H2 within minutes. The print speed on this item is super fast. You can send a print job and literally within about three seconds. It's actually starting to print. The scan to PDF feature works flawlessly and the scan quality is very high and looks very good. I can't say anything negative about this item. Now only time will tell how long it lasts and how well it does, but based on the Previous engagement with Canon. I think I'm going to have longevity with this product.

I agree with the other raters that the instructions for setup and operation are horrible. But once you figure it out, the printer works very well. This printer is also nice looking. The worst thing is that inorder to figure out some of the buttons and operation, you might have to do some online search. Basic printing and envelopes it works great. But for the price you can't beat it. Also, the cartridges for are relatively inexpensive, around $45, but it will print around 2500 pages instead of $100 (black & color cartridges) for 500 pages using an inkjet printer.

Honestly, I HATE printers. They should work, and not fuss. That's what this printer is,... robust, works, no fuss. If you want color, this ain't it. I've taken this printer through 3 countries, lived in beach/sand, humidity, dry, and used with 4 different computers. It works, simple as that. Issues: Cannon, (as always) makes downloading the software very difficult, and it's not always plug and play w all CPU's. I own two, and I"ve bought 3. I've also bought many other printers, all the others in the recycle bin. This one lasted and stood test of time. VERY BASIC, can't break it (I've tried), Toner lasts, and you can use generic cheap toner options, no issues. Hard to set up the softward, but once it works, its a BASIC Simple WORKHORSE. We have an expensive fancy printer, I almost always use this one unless I need color, because I don't have to think or select anything. JUST PUSH PRINT, like it used to be when printers actually worked.

Nice for basic, one-sided, black printing jobs. I did not even think to read if it could double-side print before I purchased it. I thought that was a standard feature for all printers. This one does not offer a double-sided print option. If I really needed to print on both sides, I could just reinsert the paper in the open tray. Positives for this printer, are that it has a nice print quality, and the printing speed is instantaneous. The setup was easy, too. I connected it to my desktop and it was ready to use. I didn't even need admin to get me through their protective network security layers. Plug and play. There were a lot of additional items in the box, including a CD, presumably for a hard drive set up, if needed. Thevdirections were straight forward. Downsides of this printer are a short receiving arm, and the paper tray is open, instead of enclosed like most printers. The website picture of this printer is a little deceptive because it looks like it is literally box shaped. However, when it is set up, the paper tray extends past the printer itself. The print quality is not superb, but it is perfect for forms, contracts, invoices, and other business type print jobs. I have not used the copy or scan features, so I cannot speak for those.
Overall, this is an ideal, very simplistic, black ink, laser printer for the office. As long as you are not expecting grand features, this is a great printer for the price. I also found replacement cartridges for a very reasonable price. One more note: The packaging is very secure. It actually makes the printer look as if it is going to be twice the size that it actually is. Don't fret, it is small and compact, once you finally get it out of the huge box.
