We bought this for my office a couple of years ago for a fax machine replacement, yes, people still fax. We have also been using it as a scanner, color copier, and color printer. It has been my go to printer at work, despite having a Brother Laser printer on the network as well. If I need a bunch of black and white prints of something, I will use the laser, however, 95% of the time I use MX922. It works well as a fax machine, prints black and white well, prints color well, copies black and white well, copies color well (although slower than black and white), and scans okay. The only thing I wish they could improve is the software for the scanner. It may be the owner/reviewers fault, but the scanning interface is not as intuitive as it could be. It would be nice if I could just let the program know, I want to make a pdf of the next few pages at 600dpi, and fire it off. Heck, it might even do that for all I know, but as a frequent user who does not rtfm, the correct way to do so hasnt leaped out at me. Also, in order to do everything it does, its big, and its heavy. Youll need to have a place for it. Now for the heck yeah, I just bought one for my house too, despite it being overkill... The price: cmon, it can be had for $100 delivered. This thing is a powerhouse and technical marvel for that price, and I do love and use the crap out of it. The output looks great. It is VERY easy to change paper and ink cartridges, etc. It is easy to set up and get on your network. It is easy to diagnose any problems that crop up, low ink, network being down, etc. It is extremely reliable, with no paper jams. (I think I had 2 easily resolved paper jams in over two years of heavy use.) It runs cheap copy paper and thick card stock without a hiccup. The printer software is great. You can adjust as needed, or ignore as needed. (scanner, not as much) It prints on both sides of the paper. It can print skinny time cards and envelopes very easily. It has a great document feeder that actually works. ...and most importantly to cheapskates like me: Canon printers are not ink nazis. You can use non-Canon ink. Hopefully, they can still make a living, but they wont make a killing off their ink. Factory Canon ink, however, is much more rainproof as I found out yesterday at the outdoor range. We got limp card stock to score, but I was amazed that the Canon ink (included with my newest printer) did not run at all. I was impressed. So my bottom line is that if you need a b&w and color printer, and scanner, and fax machine, and are printing anything from envelopes to regular 8.5x11, and have a hundred bucks and somewhere to put it...buy it. I was NOT given this product or even a discount, or coerced, or given a cool hat or anything, for my highly opinionated though amazingly accurate opinion on this bad boy. (I paid real after tax money for it and still liked it.) So there.
