Customer Reviews

Canon vs HP
In April 2008 I purchased from Amazon my MX700, after reading many reviews on various websites, I was reluctant to purchase another brand having always bought HP printers. The reason behind purchasing another brand, was due to conflicts between two HP printers on my wired netwotk, which HP support could not overcome.
I certainly do not regret the choice, I have found my MX700 excellent. The initial installation needs to be done carefully following the instructions given by canon.
My MX700 is installed on my wired network, and is easily accessible from my PC and laptop.
This machine has several features not common in other printers in this price range. In particular the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) works brilliantly, I've never had a paper jam, either when printing or scanning.
The two paper trays are ideal, you can load differnt paper in each, and selct your desired tray from the button on the front panel.
I have read comments on the cost of manufacturers inks being expensive, and I dont feel than Canon original inks are more expensive than other original inks. Should I need to buy another printer I would certainly look at the Canon printers first, as this model has worked well for me.
If you are thinking of buying this model, my recommendation would be dont hesitate.

Fantastic machine
I bought this to replace an ageing printer, fax, and scanner and to free up some desk space. I've had it about a month now and have used all the functions and so far it has performed faultlessly. I am particularly impressed with the quality of the photo printing on glossy paper, it's quite fast, resonably quiet and I think the quality is outstanding. A great all round easy to use machine at a sensible price. (I've no idea what the Canon after sales service is like as I havent had any reason to contact them)

A Warning For Mac Users
I have no reason to doubt that this is a fine printer for Windows users, the hardware's pretty good with a decent build quality, but the multi-function features do not work on any of my 3 Macs.

The scanner software just crashes on launch, it confuses the hell out of VueScan. Image capture can grab a basic scan but the document feeder doesn't work at all. None of the buttons on the machine do what they say. If I go through the tiresome scanning options on the machine itself it just resets itself without dumping any images on my Mac.

I chose this because HP's Mac software is pretty good but their printers (from my experience) fall apart after a month or two. I knew Canon's Mac software has traditionally been useless (the scangear software for my 2006 model Pixma looked and felt like it was designed on one of Babbage's engines), but this takes the mick. Don't get me wrong, the new MX software actually looks quite pretty but if none of the features work that hardly matters.

Just returned mine, and now have to settle for HP again. Looks like I'll be buying another one in a month or 2...
