Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Portability: The printer is highly valued for its small footprint and lightweight design, allowing it to fit easily into gear bags, briefcases, and even under car seats for travel.
  • High Print Quality: Users consistently report that the device produces clear, sharp, and professional-looking documents and photos, often exceeding expectations for a portable inkjet unit.
  • Versatile Mobile Printing: The printer supports direct wireless printing from smartphones and tablets via the Canon app and AirPrint, enabling users to print on the go without a traditional network.

Cons

  • Unreliable Connectivity: A significant number of reviewers experienced frequent connection drops, difficult WiFi setup, and software that feels outdated or requires constant reconfiguration.
  • Expensive Battery Requirement: While marketed as portable, the battery pack necessary for cordless operation is sold separately, which many customers found to be a misleading and costly hidden expense.
  • High Ink Consumption: Several users noted that the printer 'eats' ink quickly and that the cartridges are quite small, leading to frequent replacements and higher long-term operating costs.

  3. Good printer

    I was looking for a well priced, good working, smaller printer that I can take out to the field with me. My previous job provided an HP office jet 250, which I was really impressed with, so I wanted to compare something similar.

    This printer is basic and is just that, and really all I needed. Could I use the fancy features like the HP 250? Sure, but not for the extra price.

    Positives: size, printer speed, print quality, easy installation, and has capability for portable battery.

    Negatives: takes a little long to load turning on and acknowledging from Mac, ink packs are TINY, power and USB ports are on the right side and not the rear.

    Overall, it’s well priced and does what I need it to. I’m happy with it.

  7. Doesn't recognize its own ink cartridges

    Verified purchase

    Installed the Canon ink cartridges that came with the machine, and the printer insists that they are empty and/or nonexistent. Invested $50 for new additional cartridges and it doesn’t recognize those, either. I am beyond frustrated, angry, and out $250 between printer and cartridge costs.

  8. Been a Canon printer fan since early 1990s

    I love Canon printers. So why the loss of a star?
    Because i actually had to call tech support to install it!!! WTF???

    I used to do tech support. I am not technically disadvantaged. I’ve owned Canon printers since around 1992.
    I viewed the introduction of Plug-n-Play with a skeptical eye as i helped client after client install drivers, set comm ports, and get their devices working.

    But you know what? Plug-n-Play worked! So easy.

    Why has Canon now made it so i need to download the driver? Install an app on my phone? Why?

    Summary:
    You don’t NEED the app on your phone after all.
    Downloading a driver isn’t an immense task but why?
    The printer itself is great. I love the small foot print.

    I recommend it.
