Canon TS8120 Wireless All-In-One Printer with Scanner and Copier: Mobile and Tablet Printing, with Airprint(TM) and Google Cloud Print compatible, White

Comment

Bought mine in Nov, 2017. (4 months?). I only had a chance to print about 500 pages. Now, the printer keeps insisting there is a paper jam, when there isnt. All I do is click OK, the printer cycles 2 blank pages, and then prints my next page. No paper jam clearing required, and 2 blank pages wasted. I tried different paper (20lb, 24lb, 28lb), but nothing works. Now that I ran out of ink, Im just going to buy something non-canon, rather than spend $65 on new ink. I chose this printer because I liked the idea of a separate cartridge for each color and had good experience with my Pixma MG7120, but after this, Im done with canon. The printer is cheaply made and too sensitive.

The reader should consider that the one star in the rating is because installation instructions are excellent. But after that, it is all downhill. In the first place, the printing is not as crisp as it was with the Canon MG7700 series printer that I had before. More seriously, it often claims to be offline when the display is illuminated. Even rebooting the printer does not change this. Other times, after about 15-20 seconds it will say that the printer is not responding. Yet if you wait for two or three minutes it MAY respond. This is true even for the simplest print jobs like a single page monochrome print. This is the fourth Canon printer Ive owned and the first three were excellent. I cant understand why a new model is brought out when it is inferior to its predecessor. This printer has one negative in common with the MG7700. When it finally goes into sleep mode sending it a print job will NOT wake it up. This is particularly annoying if you are sending it a print job from a computer in another room. One more negative: When it claims to be offline and really isnt, the only way I have found to make it admit that it is online is to scan something. Then, if you send a document it will print that document. But it will also say that there are x documents waiting to print and WILL NOT PRINT THEM. It would not seem to take too much "intelligence" to know that once you have sent something to the printer, you want it to print. Apparently, however, it takes more intelligence than this printer has. Yet another negative: Because this is a relatively new design those who second source ink havent figured out how to make cartridges for it yet. Thus you will pay through the nose for Canon ink.

Needed a new printer for my MacBook Pro after my old Canon Pixma finally died. I have really had great results with previous Canon printers so definitely wanted to stick with the brand. However, this beauty is going straight back to Amazon! Problems include (but likely are not limited to): taking an freaking hour to print ANYTHING, no draft print mode, used nearly half the ink in the starter cartridges just to run the start-up items and print 2 receipts, puts itself in pause mode constantly for no apparent reason (have to resume about 6-7 times before anything prints), will NOT print a pdf that includes a photo. Need I go on? Contacted Canon about the lack of draft printing option and received a very prompt, polite reply that Apple has eliminated the option in some of their recent software updates even though Canon has it in their printer programing. (The replacement printer I bought -from a rival manufacturer- prints draft quality with absolutely no problem!) The only other positive comment I can think of is that what finally does print is nice and crisp-if you have all freaking day to tinker with the pause button and wait on the actual printing. Other than that, I would give 0 stars if that were an option. Amazon needs to list this printer as NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAC.

Part time printer Full time paper jamming machine I have had this printer for months I have yet to get anything printed without a paper jam. After 3 tonight with no printing, I decided it’s not worth it. Going in the trash.

Upon arrival, the print head would not go all the way to the right to the park position giving an ERROR 5100. I called Canon Support and they said that the unit was defective in both cases. This was my second replacement printer that had the same issue as the first printer. Both were promptly returned to Amazon. Going to take more chance and order one more replacement.

Ink hog. We only print in black, but the machine uses ALL the colors up! Called Canon. They told me black uses all the ink to make black. BS. Also jams paper during every use. Our last Canon lasted 5+ years with no issues. .

If you need a printer and its between this one and ANY offering by HP, get this one. (I went through 2 HP printers in two months because both were HUGE lemons that HP refuses to assist with despite having an extended warranty on both, and both being less than 1 month old, each). Some background about how this printer is used: I print about 100-150 pages a month, in color, double-sided. Some are 8.5 x 11, and some are 8.5 x 14. About 90% of my printing is on regular paper but I sometimes have a need to print on card stock. While I also use the copy and scan features on a monthly basis, its an average of 20 pages a month. Finally, I needed a printer that could connect wirelessly to various laptops. After that, I dont really care about other features (cloud, photo, etc.). This printer is average and ONLY average. First, the paper tray holds about 40 pages at a time. Thats it. If you overfill it, you cant fit the ridiculous partial cover over the end of the tray and... get this... you CANT print without that "cover" in place! I would have LOVED to find a printer that could hold more than 40 pages at a time but this is NOT that printer. Also, re-filling the tray is a pain in the butt because of that silly partial cover because it just sort of sits there - it doesnt snap in place, and its really easy to knock it out of place, stalling printing. Its a ridiculous design. Second, its L O U D. Like, you cant have a conversation while its printing, copying, or scanning, kind of loud. Its so loud that they gave it a "quiet mode" which makes printing double-dog-slow and its really not that much quieter. And it doesnt work at all if youre printing double-sided! Also, the "quiet mode" is only for printing and doesnt work at all for copying or scanning. Why? Because whoever designed it hasnt actually used a printer in the real world. Third, it has this ECO mode where it automatically turns itself off to "save power". I have turned this feature OFF several times but apparently, it doesnt want to believe me. So, every time I print, I get the "printer is not on" error message, then I have to turn it on, wait a few minutes, change the setting to OFF, then it prints. Every. Single. Time. Day. After. Day. I did a ton of research on all kinds of printers and this was - horrifically - the "best" available for what I needed. I do not have any faith that this will be a long-lasting printer. I did pay $6 for the extended warranty but only because of the hassle of having to find a new one.

Purchased the TS8120 due to very good reviews and my old printer scanner broke. Received it as advertised by Amazon and was happy with the service. Opened the brand new printer and powered on per instructions. Error Code 5011 popped up instead of the correct process to install. Called Canon customer service and disconnected after 15 minutes on hold. Then emailed Canon customer service. A day later recieved a message that it needed to be repaired or replaced. And because I had just purchased it Canon would send me a "refurbished" printer! Not terribly excited with a brand new printer not working and getting a used "refurbished" one back. Unhappy camper here. Amazon return was flawless with no question asked.

I miss my MX410 compared to this model. I didn’t realize that one cannot feed to scan. You must individually put anything you want to scan on the bed. And it will not automatically come on when you want to print from a laptop in another room even though it’s connected via Bluetooth. Setting up the WiFi feature is easier than the MX 410, but that’s its only plus.
