Canon PIXMA TR4520 Wireless All in One Photo Printer, Black with Canon PG-245XL/CL-246XL Ink/Photo Paper Pack

Bought the white version which I like, but it’s a noisy machine when printing- sounds like it’s going to explode, and shakes and rattles. Just for home use so don’t mind the slowness. Giving 4,stars instead of 3 because it actually print from my phone which was awesome — since my older Apple Mac wouldn’t let me download the software completely. Had to hook it up thru my husbands newer Mac. Main issue is the control panel is not backlit so impossible to read without light directly above it. And it doesn’t fit well in a cabinet type desk so it’s out in the open. I’m not a tech-y but I’m not incapable of using electronics either, it just seemed confusing to get the WiFi set up and the phone printing ability to work. My husband tried to print today and I had to reconfigure the printer on his Mac- user error?!? Maybe but it’s a hassle!

I love this printer. I needed something I could use to print from my iPad. This has exceeded my expectations. Easy enough to set up. As others have stated, the ink alert comes in after just a few prints, BUT if you ignore it and wait for it to run completely out, you will be amazed at how much ink it still has after the low ink light first appears. I’m still running off the cartridges that it come with in October. My first low ink alert appeared after just a few weeks. So I hurriedly purchased ink refills but decided to wait until the original cartridges ran out. They’re still printing as if new ink. So, despite the reviews on the ink, I would still say it’s the best for the price. I would’ve gave 5* except setting the fax is a bit confusing and I’m still unsure if I have it set properly. If I see that fax is working properly I will most likely change to 5*.

Decided on this printer for a few reasons, the ability to print via wifi from a laptop or tablet and also from your phone. I have not tried the phone printing yet only from the laptop. It is though a nice option. Other bonus is the ability to print on both sides of a sheet of paper, this is in the paper saving mode called duplex printing. Only 4 stars because getting the printer linked to the router was a bit of a challenge. The manual online was little help. I figured it out and manged to get it connected using the screen on the printer and entering the wifi password directly on the printer. It took a bit to figure how to advance the screen to change from Capital letters to small, to numbers to symbols because I use a difficult password and not just a few letters. Pressing I believe it was the return button (or something else) on the key pad that changed the display from Capital to small letters, numbers, symbols each time you pressed. That was the only hiccup I had with install. The printer has a lot of features for the price, however its case is lightweight plastic and doesnt feel substantial. While I dont plan on dropping or bumping it I will use extra caution around it. With no kids in the house I am sure it will be fine.

We bought this printer for our son who is attending school about 60 miles away. The printer arrived on time and he was able to set it up without any questions or concerns. The only concern we had is that he went through one ink cartridge already as he had to print over 200 pages of notes for his science class; so it isnt very economical from a mass printing standpoint. However, I dont think this is the fault of the printer, and we probably should have researched it more on our end. Overall though my son is impressed my the quality of the print job. Would recommend this printer.
