Canon PIXMA MX700 All-In-One Printer

Canon PIXMA MX700 All-in-One Printer

Posted Nov 9, 2007 - So far, the MX700 has the best bang for the buck, is solid state as they come, and vibrant colors at a decent speed. You may have to spend twice this much to get a better all-in-one, even when shopping around. Get rid of your fax, scanner, copier, and printer, and get this puppy!

The All-In-One I've Been Waiting For

Posted Dec 30, 2007 - I've been waiting for an AIO that everyone (experts and users) give high marks. This one is the one. This is my first Canon and, more specifically, non-HP printer. I'm thrilled with it. I can now get rid of my Scanjet and Inkjet and have just one system. Know this ... the initial setup requires a USB connection. So, keep that USB cable you have on your existing printer and don't sell it with your printer on eBay 'til you've set this system up. Once it's set up via USB, you can then set it up for networked access completely and exclusively. Also, you may get a wireless laptop that cannot locate any printers during the secondary system software installation process. Just keep retrying - as the configurator does not ask if you, perhaps, know the IP address of this system. It seems to have to find the unit on its own in its own fashion. If anything, get your wireless system closer to the router/access-point for faster network recognition - which is what seemed to help me. Anyway, I'm thrilled with the setup, the product and the reduction of clutter from my home office.

Great all-in-one printer!

Posted Feb 9, 2008 - My HP all-in-one would constantly jam, what good is a multi machine if it constantly jams? So with a little tax money coming my way I figured it was a good time to research and purchase a new all-in-one. Thus far this one has lived up to its ratings and reviews, I really like how easy it was to setup. The networking was a key feature for me and it was easy to configure, I have three PC’s in the house all networked to it. If there was one complaint it would be the software that came with it will install a whole bunch of extra software you don’t need, but most software tries to do that, make sure you go thru the custom install. Testing of the photo printing went very well, Canon always seems to rate well in this area. Considering I purchased this machine on-sale with an additional 10% off the price was great. For the price this is the best all-in-one machine out there.

Good results so far

Posted Jan 31, 2008 - Setup is straight-forward if you follow the step-by-step installation sheet provided with the printer. (Comes with a Quick Start Guide manual, as well as a Network Setup Guide manual for use with a network.) Prints very crisp text. Very sharp scans. Printed a Google map with reasonable results. Have not tried printing photos yet, but intend to report back after doing so. Currently printing via USB, but plan to network it; will report how that goes. The printer driver dialog box (appears when you click the "Properties" button in the Print dialog box) is comprehensive and easy to select the options you want. There is no auto duplexing; however, after selecting duplexing, and printing side 1, a dialog box pops up that shows you what to do to print the other side. This is really nice since it takes the guess-work out of how and where to insert the paper. This is my first inkjet printer, so I have no prior inkjet experience to compare to.

Wow! What a great printer..

Posted 1 year ago - I bought this for my neice and nephew who both just started university because it is a printer which offers great print quality for their assignments. So far, they have not been disappointed with the performance. That is a good thing as it was cheaper than the alternative - a laser printer. It also has the benefit of scanning and printing photos for the facebook generation who are both constantly living the digital life, and it comes in useful when they realize that they need to have a physical copy and not everything is digital. My brother loves the fax and tells me that he is happy with it and it works well.

Great Printer

Posted Apr 27, 2008 - This printer is a great AOI for the price. It offers network connectivity for easy printing through any connected computer . Scanning to PDF over the network is easy. Put your documents in the automatic document feeder, press scan, select PDF and the computer, and now you have an electronic backup of your important documents (eliminate the file cabinets!). Printing is good quality, text is very good. I'm not happy that I must have all colors to print with black, but most printers appear to be manufactured that way these days.

It's great so far...

Posted Dec 5, 2007 - We've been frustrated with inkjets dying after a year or so--the problem MAY be that we don't use them much (we normally use our b/w laser for most prints) and the ink clogs somewhere in the machine. And of course it always costs more to fix them than to replace--grrrr. We're trying Canon, a new brand for us, and so far this moderately-priced unit is the nicest we've used at any price. We plan to set up a script to print out a full-color photo weekly on this machine, in the hope of avoiding the previous problems. I'd rather use a little extra ink than recycle another printer! Hookup was simple, and (unlike some other brands)so far it seems to work perfectly with our Macs. I'm impressed by the quality of photo prints just on plain paper; we haven't even used any photo paper yet. These color prints are much better than I've seen with previous machines. The machine is quieter than I'm used to, and the color prints are faster. So far, we have used the ADF, fax and copy functions and color printing, but haven't gotten into anything fancy. The controls are easy to use and the display is bright and tilts so that it's easy to see.

Costly Ink w/chips that prevent refill or generic

Posted 1 year ago - I am SO sad and angry at Canon. I am a LONG time loyal Canon fan. I have several of there DSLR camera, copiers and prints and I have found their products to be well-designed, quality and reliable products. *** Shocked to see Canon use such underhanded tactics to FORCE you to buy their ink cartridges by putting a chip on each cartridge. When the chip reads empty the printer won't print, even if the cartridge has plenty of ink in it. Why would I buy such a product? It's like Honda putting a chip their gas tanks that forces me to buy Honda gas (no matter how expensive), or the car won't run. I'll never buy another Canon product, they may as well have spit in my face. FCK CANON! *** I bought this MX-700 at SAMS CLUB and the printer's going back tomorrow. I'm going to let them hear about it at SAMS also, not too happy they would sell me such a product.

great printer

Posted Apr 12, 2008 - i really like this printer. it does everything. it really looks professional too. the only thing i don't like is the door where the paper goes in. if you close the door the paper gets jammed up so when you reopen it you have to pull out the paper and put it back in. so i just leave it open. problem solved. the fax is really fast and prints great copies. i also like the fact that i can print excellent quality photos too. i think the unit is priced well and has a lot to offer the home based or small business person.

Stylish but another biggy

Posted May 20, 2008 - I bought this one because it had the LCD, which I now prefer on a printer. This printer takes up much counter space, as do all the other Canon printers in this line. When I purchased the printer I was not aware that it also takes an additional ink cartridge, 5 in all, hence the reason for the great images it also produces.

Print Quality = One of the Best!

Posted May 20, 2008 - My 3rd. Canon and the best yet. Has a nice easy to see LCD smack in the middle. IMO, the print, scan and copy print qualities are probably the best next to HP printers. The only 2 issues I had were the size and this printer takes 5 ink cartridges to feed, 4 is my limit! On to another printer...
