Comments about Canon PIXMA MX420 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One Printer:
If using this for business, your settings might need to be modified in order for the printer not to turn itself off quite frequently. A quick call to Canon's tech support, and the issue was fixed. The resolution of the documents we print is fantastic, the photos we print are better than the drugstore can do, and all our computers can finally print to the same printer without a thousand wires in the house! It is quite a bit larger than our last printer, but that's on us for not calculating the measurements prior to purchasing.

Comments about Canon PIXMA MX420 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One Printer:
I've had a long line of HP printers that have gotten steadily worse. I did a lot of research and it's not easy finding a printer the consistently rates well, but Canons seem to be the exception.
This MX420 has been great to use. It prints quickly, is relatively quiet and is simple to use. Highly recommended.

Comments about Canon PIXMA MX420 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One Printer:
I really like the quality of Canon printers and this one is no exception. What I am delighted about is the ease of use for scanning and photo printing and that it is wireless. I purposely looked for something that would be reliable and simple to run since I am not interested in long learning curves or technical information to cull through. Tis machine has exceeded my expectations and I am able to run it without having to consult very often with the manual.

Im using it for printing, coping, and scanning. No great need at the time for Fax. I loved how easy it was to set up and connect to WiFi. The printing is wonderful. I love most how compact and sleek the unit is. Everything that pops out, also folds up. Sweet machine.

Easy to set up, easy to use. Prints great and fast. I'm completely satisfied with this printer from the way it scans, faxes, copy's to the way it prints in general. I'm just not sure about how much ink it's going to use but time will tell. I'm also very satisfied with B&H Photo.

Comments about Canon PIXMA MX420 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One Printer:
This printer was easy to set up, connected to wireless net work painlessly, and with little added trouble I got the fax to work... But the photos printed with this printer come out dull and lifeless. A real disappointment in that area. My old Canon i560 does a much better job in that department. Otherwise considering all it does not a bad choice.
