Canon 2986C002 PIXMA TS6220 Wireless All in One Photo Printer with Copier, Scanner and Mobile Printing, Black

Comment

This printer is AWFUL! Constantly gives message that paper is jammed-when it not-or that there is no paper! Also new ink cartriges read as half full, when color has not even been used. Set-up was also unnecessarly finicky. Over all Id give zero stars if Icould. This pig is going back asap...Terrible unit.

I am fairly tech savvy, but I followed the directions and have spent 2-3 hours trying to connect both to my computer as well as my phone with no luck with either. Technical support online only directs you to the same brochures that come with the printer. Could not find someone to talk to. Finally called corporate which did give me an option for support and apparently they arent open on Sundays. Ive always had HP printers. I bought a Canon to try it. I wont again. Very disappointed in lack of support.

Ive been buying Canon printers for years, and theyve all been great - until this one. The paper tray is pathetically thin, and I couldnt get it to load paper without jamming - if it recognized the presence of paper at all. Even if Id managed to get it to print a single page, it still wouldve been too much trouble. As is, its completely useless.

I bought this Canon TS6220 to replace a Canon 6800 printer that lasted just past its one year warranty. The main reason I ordered this one was because I had a couple of complete sets of ink cartridges for the 6800 and I wanted something they would fit. Well I looked at something wrong. When I received this it had a new style cartridge, a 280 series verses the 270 series. I can buy a complete set of 270 series for under $10. The cheapest I could find the 280 series was $45 a set and some were listed at more that the printer cost. I will use this printer until the ink runs out and if the ink prices have not come down throw it away and buy something else. As for the printer, the setup program didnt work and I had to set it up manually. I still cant get it to work with my smart phone. It does print with my computer as long as I have my hotspot turned on. I dont print a lot. The 6220 seems to print adequately. If you want to spend $69 for a printer and then $55 every time you need ink then go for it. Otherwise find something else. Summary: Ink ridiculously expensive, hard to install, prints ok.

By the second use, just after turning on it started to say paper is jammed. We followed the manual, spent 2 hours to see the jam but there wasnt any jam. Disconnected, reconnected, still nothing. Returning now. This unpredictable thing wont work for me as it was needed for a small office.

Does any company make a decent printer? Ive not found one. This printer constantly says "No paper" which is not the case. Shuts off almost immediately so each time its used, you must go to the printer and turn it on. Saves power, but a complete pain. Seems as if i spend half of my day getting the printer started and its problems sorted out. Totally frustrating. Do not buy.

UPDATE: Well its been 4 months & Ive had enough of this printer I actually avoid printing anything because its such a horrendous project to print something; additionally its cheaper to buy a new printer than to replace the ink in this one.. This is absolutely the worst Canon printer I have ever owned and thats saying something.. I did not want to buy another Canon printer because they dont have a long shelf life but I bought this one for only one reason "it prints labels" , however, I would have been better off just hand writing the labels because this printer is terrible.. The designer of this printer must have gotten paid by number of steps required to perform any function.. Terrible printer and Im stuck with it now..

Last year I purchased a Pixma TS6120. Nice little printer. Does everything most anyone could want. The problem? To this day, there are NO sources of 3rd party ink refill cartridges for this Pixma printer. If you check most any other Pixma printer, you can find 3rd party (read economical) ink refill cartridges. But not for the TS6*20 line. If you dont mind paying outrageous prices for Canon ink, go ahead. If you care about how you spend your money, look at other Canon printers that have 3rd party ink available.

I got this printer to use in my home office because the last one I had eats two sheets at a time. I’ve had Canon Pixma printers before, so this wasn’t too hard to set up. For the life of me, I can’t ever get these things to work wirelessly. I’ve been through a couple of different service providers and routers at this point, so I’m pretty sure the problem is me, but just know that I didn’t get to test that part. I ended up connecting it with a printer cable I had on hand. I didn’t use the enclosed CD Rom to install the software, mostly because I didn’t realize it was included in the box. I just figured I would be directed to the company website to download it directly. When that didn’t happen, I went there and did it manually. We print a lot and have gone through a few printers at the office, so this wasn’t hard. I think I would just get it from the website anyway because these things are almost always updated by the time you get them. The only frustrating aspect of getting the printer up and running is that all the flaps and trays have to be in position before it will print. If something is in the wrong place, it will stop and it won’t move until you figure out which thing to move. Sometimes it will show you a picture of what’s wrong on the front LCD screen and sometimes it won’t. A couple of these didn’t seem essential to the moving parts inside, and after the tenth time of getting up from the computer, moving an outer flap and clicking OK, hitting this thing with the hammer of justice was seeming like a viable option. In the end I did manage to get that first test print out. Note that no matter how far out you pull the bottom tray, it will spit the paper onto the floor. It comes with a sample pack of photo paper, so you can try out some photo printing right away. The Pixma printers in general have printed some gorgeous photos and this one is no different. I was able to scan, copy and print documents with no trouble, either. Have a multi-functional printer like this is kind of important because I don’t just do photos, and my mom likes to have me print tax documents for her to save her trips to the library. You can print things from your phone, and this is compatible with Alexa as well as some other apps, but most of this stuff is not really useful to me. I edit images in Photoshop on a big screen before I print them, and I would never print something directly from a phone. If you do stuff without a computer this may be a great feature for you. I didnt find any instructions for doing this, but I wasnt exactly looking, either. It also seemed that the phone app may have only been for Android devices. Again, if this is important to you, you should research this for yourself. There is also some idiot software that gets installed with the printer drivers that I didn’t get any choice about and will never use. I got to say no on some of it, but the rest of the bloatware is there now. This printer uses Canon CL-281 cartridges and a PG-280 black, which are available in XL and XXL, and cost as much or more than the printer itself. There are no third party cartridges at this time, and I don’t know if these are refillable yet. There are no bargains on this stuff. I don’t think I would buy the XXLs unless I knew I was going to do a lot of printing. Overall, this printer has most of the perks and annoyances of most printers on the market right now. You’ll get great quality photo and color documents, but you won’t get any bargains on ink for now. Once you get past any quirks of initial set-up, you’ll have all your printing needs met. If you’re not doing a lot of photos and ink cost is a concern, I would probably go with an older model that has third party ink available. Otherwise this is a good choice if you need a lot of good quality color prints.

I only have one complaint and it is the ONLY reason I am not giving it 5 stars... the control panel has to be open while printing. Yep, thats it! It prints great. I have not printed any photos as of yet but all of the paperwork I have pushed out of it so far has been better than any printer I have EVER purchased. I cant believe I only paid $70 for this.
