Canon TS6120 Wireless AIO Printer, Black with PGI-280XL, CLI-281 4 Pack and PP-301 (5X5)

I have the older model of this printer, and this newer model is basically the same. There are a few small improvements, like the rear loading paper tray, but all in all this is just as advertised: a compact all in one printer/copier that works for light usage. It is definitely not meant to be in office machine printing things regularly; it’s a home device for printing off the occasional homework assignment. If you are doing a lot of printing, you will find yourself running out of ink fast. The Wi-Fi connection works well, and I have not yet had a problem connecting it to any device I have tried to connect it to. On the design side, these printers definitely need a little caution. Because they are meant to be folded between uses, the printer isn’t always going to be ready to print; the front panel needs to be folded all the way out, and the printer tray pulled out, in order for it to function. Having to get up and go to the printer every time you went to initiate a PRINT makes having a wireless printer a little less convenient. Still, it is small and fits nicely in shelf spaces were bigger printers might not. And for somebody who doesn’t need a dedicated full-time printer, this should do nicely.

I love being able to print from my phone, but agree with the other reviews about the annoying problem of having to pull down the door to print. The print quality is excellent however!

I am satisfied with this printer although my previous Canon printer provided higher quality print ... at least that is my current perception. The photo quality is quite good but not outstanding. The set-up was relatively painless although one never fully knows what is happening during initial set-up -- why cant the manufacturer provide feedback during each successful step in the process. The wireless feature works well so that we can now print with all our laptops, desktop, iPhones and iPad from any where in our house. I would recommend this printer to anyone needing a household printer. The major drawback will be the print cartridge cost. Once other print cartridges are available, Ill discontinue buying Canons. As mentioned by others, the control flap must be lifted and the output tray with its cheap, thin plastic arm opened for the printer to operate. Thats an extra step but not a deal breaker. I do like how the printer goes into sleep mode and it does not seem to reawaken once its pinged for printing. So I have found the need to hit the on-button before printing.

This is a nice little printer/scanner, but the instructions in the install software are garbage, so you do need a little technical knowledge to be able figure out how to connect the wifi with password to the computer, and set up the printer driver through windows device (printer) setup. You have to use the menus on the printers digital display to setup the wifi and options. The printer goes to sleep automatically to save energy, but you can change the settings to your preferences, and it does wake up when you are ready to print something without you gaving to turn the printer back on. Note: the installation software doesnt install correctly, there is no way to return to previous step mid install, and it doesnt prompt you to enter your wifi password do that you have a secure wifi connection for your printer setup, which is not the best way to install the printer. Also, following the installation disc prompts dont explain how to get the printer to ping the wifi so that they can recognize each other. You have to use the printer online screens, and press the button on the wifi, while printer searches for the wifi, then select the wifi name and enter the password from your modem.
