Canon Image Class D570 Monochrome Laser Printer with Scanner & Copier with Canon Original 137 Toner Cartridge - Black

I have to share a story of unlikely love. I just bought a printer. And I love it. Its the first printer ive bought in ... eh.... 15 years? I always figured "to heck with that, its 20xx, I dont need a printer". The other day needed to print a return label and instead ended up having to use the craptastic computer at the UPS store for $3 to print it out. I realized Id never have time to buy a decent printer when I needed one and Id need to get one now when I dont need one so that Id have it when I did need it. My old printer was a nightmare of macos-unsupported drivers supposedly hosted by a company that has no interest in supporting old models (*ahem* HP) hell. You know the scene from office space where they take the printer out into the field and beat the ever loving snot out of it with baseball bats? Thats how Ive felt about my old printer for years. I put up with it because I didnt know better. The last time I needed it, however, I couldnt find the drivers in the dystopian mc.escher-inspired pukefest that is HPs website. So, I looked up printers that are supported by Apple out of the box and decided to give this one a shot. I unboxed it, followed the infographic that was attached to the excellently packaged printer, followed the on-screen setup to join it to my wifi ... and then printed. From my iphone. And from my macbook. I didnt have to install any drivers or plug in any cables. It just. Frikkin. Worked. No passwords other than joining the wifi. Easy. I told my wife that I just setup the printer and printed from my phone with zero frustration, and that I wasnt even going to tell her how to do it, because its so easy to just do. And she did it. A++, highly recommended

When its working, I like it a lot. But when it loses the wireless connection, for example, I get discouraged trying to get it to reconnect because there are several options and terms that render me clueless. And then I must call Canon to walk me through the process once again. Frustrating at times. But like any new equipment that I buy, there is a learning curve. I just wish Canon would make things simpler. The instructions simply dont register with my brain so I need their excellent service representatives to walk me through the process. Thank goodness for Canons service representatives. Spoiler: Im in my 70s.

Printer works fine. Easy set up. But scanning? No luck. I got it to do a bad BMP file type via Photoshop import WIA support. Im used to every all-in-one with a scanner utility with a lot of options. Even if it wont do a TIF, it will at least do JPEG and PDF. And the documentation is no help. There might be more software on the CD, but who has a CD drive anymore? Theres not even a hint Im doing things right. Ive contacted tech support, but so far, no luck. If I dont get it working after the weekend back it goes. And I got this one to replace a functioning but old HP all-in-one for which there was no driver support. Im not a pro with this stuff, but Im an adept user that can usually muddle through most complications. Im going to sound old here, but at one time Volvo had one car model every 10 years. They put a lot of design and development into one product. Now we have a proliferation of junk just to be new. And the technology, apart from things like wireless printing, is fundamentally unchanged for a quarter century.

Very fluky printer. Will print word documents but not if there is an image. Wont print a web-page. Support tries hard, but is hard to get to and unavailable on weekends. Scan quality is very weak. Was hoping, based on the reviews, for a simple, reliable printer. What I got was a difficult, poor quality machine.

I bought this WiFi-enabled ImageCLASS D570 to replace my trusty, reliable but old, non-Wifi Cannon MF3010. The D570 connected perfectly to 2 iPhones, 2 MACs running two different generations of MAC OS, 2 Win 10 64 bit PCs (one under Apple Boot Camp, one native), and a Chromebook. This D570 looks great and seems sturdy and well-designed (for light use at home). I appreciate the convenience of being able to make a paper copy manually (without using a computer) by simply pressing the "start" button on the printer. This D570 black/white laser printer scans in full color. The color scanning worked correctly, and the scans look great on both the native Win 10 PC and on the MAC laptop (I tested scanning on the MAC that had the latest version of MAC OS). The only small glitch I had was in not realizing that after I downloaded onto Win 10 the "[Windows 32bit & 64bit] MF Scan Utility Ver.1.5.0.0" from the Cannon website, it created a sub-directory named "MFScanUtility_V1500_EN". I had to manually open that sub-folder myself and double click on file "SETUP.exe". I recommend this D570 highly. In the accompanying picture, the black block underneath the table is an uninterruptible power supply with battery backup that I purchased separately and use with both my Verizon router and this D570. UPDATE (March 19, 2019: Almost exactly one year after I bought the Canon D570. it stopped working with WiFi. I have a Brother Wireless printer in the same room that continues to work perfectly, so I conclude the Canon D570 is physically broken at the chip level. The standalone copy function continues to work okay, so I know its not a mechanical problem. I dont think its a WiFi configuration problem because I know how to set up a WiFi enabled printer and tried everything possible to get it to work again with WiFi after it mysteriously stopped working. Its disappointing because for a year it was a great, dependable WiFi printer.

Changing review. This printer has never made good copies. The cartridges print so light it is difficult to read the documents. Buying new cartridge does nothing to improve the quality. Settings do nothing to improve the quality. What is more is that the printer forces double sided printing and I have just spend 30 minutes trying to stop it with no luck. I have never gotten one good copy from it. So regret wasting my money on this big loser.

It is working so far. Fundamentally, I am very satisfied. However, I have had it only a couple of months. I had one day that the printer would not print but with a little understanding of the printer system on my MacPro, it started to work again. I have cable and WiFi installed. I tried to reach Cannon Customer Service to find out what the problem was. I waited 15 minutes and finally gave up. Cannon Customer Service is not the best.

This printer is fantastic. Very easy to setup, WiFi connection was so simple. Pressed the on button and synced immediately, just needed to input WiFi password. Prints fast, and quality is excellent.

Scan driver doesnt work with Windows 10. Searched all over the Internet this evening and this is a common problem. Will try to call Canon next week. If I cant fix this, back ti goes. Useless without scanning capabilities. Print is very light. Tried max dpi, still faint. Have to put everything bold to have it look like a normal printed page. Phone app prints everything enlarged and landscaped. A five-page document was going to be 32 printed through the phone app! Wish I had kept the packaging so I could have returned this!
