Rating: - MF4150 Duplex print issue
So I currently have Canon i9900 photo printer that is great. It is our only printer, so when my daughter wants to print coloring pages from the Internet, it can be expensive with the i9900 creating black from all of the expensive cartridges. With that in mind we wanted to find a laser all-in-one so that we would occasionally scan and frequently print double-sided pages.
After reading reviews on the MF4150 I went to my local Staples and
purchased the unit. The unit hooked up to my Vista machine without issue and I was able to get it to work within minutes. The duplexing feature being the main attraction to buying this unit, I tried it out right away. Looking at the 2-sided page you could plain as day see that the 2nd page was crooked. Figuring it might have something to do with the paper I was using, I switched it and tried again....same thing. Figuring I had just got a bad unit, I returned to Staples and got a replacement MF4150. SAME THING. Crooked slanted duplexing output. I am surprised no one else has mentioned this as it has to be related to the poor quality duplexer in the unit.
FYI, when I saw that Staples had the latest version of this unit available, I think it was the MF4250?, I went and bought it. Again SAME THING. Crooked 2-sided output.
I am desperate to find a <$300 Laser all-in-one that can duplex normally.
Rating: - Like it
I like the multi function printer. Prints very fast and neatly.
Scanning software is not very user-friendly. The package does not include the USB cable.
Overall, I am happy with the machine.
Rating: - Great for Home Office NOT the Office
I bought this last year after thanksgiving for our home office so my wife could work from the house while she was on maternity leave. IT IS GREAT!!! Printing quality if professional. Scanning . . . I can't say enough, it has document feeding capability for scanning so you can scan LARGE documents in seconds (on the lower scan settings). This machine isn't really designed for photos but I even put photos in the feed through scanner and it worked great for lower quality scans and doing them one at a time yielded near perfect results. The fax portion is not very user friendly but is functional for home office use. We have found we use the copier part more than we expected for home use, making copies of receipts and materials. As everyone else has said, duplexing is also a great feature that we use regularly.
My ONLY complaints are: 1) the glass is only letter size instead of legal size (you can still scan loose legal through the feeder but I like to copy two pages of a book onto one side of paper and can't do with this size glass even when zoomed out); 2) THIS IS NOT FOR REGULAR OFFICE USE the Cartridge won't last long enough - I'm just now replacing the cartridge at home (1 year later) and I feel like I've done a ton of printing but nothing like a regular office.
Its perfect for an all-in-one home office printer/fax/copier/scanner.

Great MF from Canon!! I use it for my business. The scanner is very detailed in color and fast. Copier works like a charm. I love the fact that it's a duplex...saves lots of paper...Go Green! Super printer for the price.
