Printer image is excellent.
Networking over a wireless router with a USB printer port works fine but this setup is not supported by Canon. This setup must be done by the add printer function and then choosing the proper driver. Scanning is then only available by switching to direct connection to the PC.
Scanning with document handler works well.
Copying is excellent.
Toner/Drum cartridges are priced very competetively: $75 w/shipping.

Great laser printer. Paper never jams. had great luck with canon's ink jet and laser seems just as reliable. great price too
Rating: - A Great Multi-Functional Unit!
I recently purchased this printer in an effort to free up more space in my home office. I replaced my laser printer, scanner and fax with this single compact unit and couldn't be happier. As others have mentioned, the duplex printing feature is a MAJOR plus in my opinion - a feature that they've seemed to include as a "freebie" and adds major points over competitors. The quick start guide was really simple and I was up and running in a matter of minutes.
A super quiet machine when not in use (thanks to the Energy Saving feature), I've used the printing features and the results are timely, crisp, clean pages with seemingly excellent paper handling (no jams so far). It's got many more print options (2 on 1 page, 4 on 2 pages which is really 4 on 1 with the duplex option) and a ton of other cool features and capabilities that aren't listed in the product description. I have sent and received faxes without a problem. Copying is just like using the larger machines: just lift the cover or use the document feeder to copy originals. I haven't scanned anything yet, so I can't comment on that particular functionality, but the manual mentions scanning to PDF which is what I really need and like.
Size is truly relative - It is a bit larger (height and width) than my old laser printer (a Samsung); but does 4 times more work and its footprint is definitely smaller than the three units I replaced!
For less than $200 with free shipping, it's solved my space problems and exceeded my expectations regarding functionality and quality. A great deal, imo. I highly recommend!!
Rating: - Networking problem
After purchasing this printer ($195 on Amazon) I found out that adding it to my network requires the Axis 1650 network print server. I already own a print server but it would not work with multifunction printers and it seems no other multifunction print servers will work. (According to Canon and my quick research online.)
The only problem is the Axis 1650 is $180, which is almost as much as the printer itself. The other option is to attach it to a local PC and share it on the network. The would be great but I do not have a PC in the same room.
