Scanning is realitively easy. This printer is amazing. The printer is very reliable. Printing speed is perfect. and gets the job done this is it. There is a top and bottom paper loading trey and you can easily switch between which to use.
Basically if you are looking for a printer that simply prints. The ink is relatively easy to find and not super expensive. The software isnt bloated and annoying. The whole thing closes up very nicely so you can keep dust out. Ink installation is a breeeze. doesnt cost a lot.
Ive seen and used quite a few printers and have constantly appreciated my decicion to buy this one.
As far as features, this printer is a vast improvement over my older Lexmark and Canon. These printers seem to use ink rapidly. I have this Canon and another Pixma MX300.
Photos come out very well. I could have a newer printer including ink for the same price. I love the color copying and duplex printing features.
Walmart had a new Pixma MX320 (newer) for $70 while the replacement ink at Staples cost $40 for black & $27.19 for color (for MX320). However, the price of a new printer on a great deal is not that much more expensive than the replacement ink. I haven't bothered with remanufactured or filling my own in some time since the resulting printing was disappointing.
The Pixma MP610 ink was $57.49 for all colored ink and my first purchase of remanufactured black ink was $14.29. If one doesn't mind the cost of ink or is content with remanufactured or do-it-yourself refills, this printer is highly recommended.
Our last printer was a Canon and I was extremely pleased with it, so we bought another one when it died. Once used, it is USELESS. They are difficult to find (target and walmart did not carry all of them, and Staples was out when I needed them). But the biggest problem with the printer is the cartridges. And worst of all, even Canon does not recycle them to reuse them. Unlike my last printer, these cartridges CANNOT BE REFILLED. Although it prints well, the rollers already squeak (after 4 months) when forwarding paper through the printer and that's annoying. Unlike Canon's own "ECOSENSE" project, I find these cartridges to have no sense designed into them whatsoever.
When we ran out of ink while printing my son's school project, I ran down to our local "Cartridge World" to refill the color cartridges and got a big "NO" we can't do that. Apparently, Canon refuses to make a "chip resetter" for this cartridge. We had to order the cartridges online and print at school. I would never have bought this printer had I known of these problems.
This was a printer refurbished by Canon. Delivery was on time and the printer works perfectly and looks like a new one. I praise the supplier who sold this item to me.
I have bought two of these printers as gifts because they are easy to use and meet most needs m yet are compact. The low cost is a plus.
