Best Home Printer For Macbook (2024 Update)

Pros: Prints well. Connected to WiFi well the first time. Cons: Main lead fitting is very weak, falls out all the time, doesn't seem to fit very securely. Printer too complicated. I am well experienced with pcs and printing but this one is just too faffy. It connected to my original older laptop via WiFi great but when I had to replace the laptop I had an awful time trying to get it to connect to the new one. Bought this printer because it had a higher spec scanner but it is currently scanning everything green. Wish I had gone for a more basic model. Expensive for ink tooElaine

Pros: Excellent prints with minimum setting up with the software I use. Quiet when printing and head cleaning. Intelligent identification of paper when loaded which is a bonus. Easy to use control panel and good access for changing ink cartridges. Overall I’m impressed and would buy again/recommend to others. Cons: Construction feels rather flimsy compared to previous models from the same company. The front tray lid comes off a little too easily and the whole front assembly is rather clunky. That said, it all works well enough.Steve

The Canon software made this the most difficult printer I ever installed – and I've installed many. The software has separate apps for specific purposes rather than download a single package. Very aggravating. The software often directs a consumer to a Canon website where that has a broken link or states the info is not available. I got so fed up when the software reports I did not have a connection established between the printer and computer despite being able to print a test page. Did I mention that it took me forever to see the printer in the Windows printer folder?Pat

I purchased this printer to replace another Canon printer I had for several years that served me well. One major feature I required was the ability to print on CD/DVDs. The old printer did that and had an 8×11" cassette and a photo cassette. This printer cost twice what the old printer cost but not only has the 8×11" cassette but feeds other sizes from the back. I now have the ability to still print photos but also legal size as well as tabloid size(11×17"). My wife does a little crafting and it also prints 12×12" size papers. I have read some reviews where people have stated they wish they did not have to raise the panel to print. You have to raise it to get to the slot to print on DVDs so that wasn't an issue for me. This printer also connects to wifi a lot quicker than the old. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.JohnP

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. As a former, professional photographer, I also trusted Canon and Epson for accurate photo reproduction. Canon announced 4 new PIXMA printers in the summer of 2019, including the PIXMA TS6320, just in time for the back-to-school season. So, how does the TS6320 photo printer, which is geared towards students, fare? Pretty well! PROS – Update to its TS6220 predecessor with an easier setup process and updated user interface – 5 individual ink cartridges (Magenta, Black BK, Yellow, Black Pigment PGBK, Cyan), making more efficient use of colors, saving ink cost, and better output – Exceptional print quality, especially photos due to its 5-ink cartridge system – Text output is very sharp to about 6 pt font size – Can Print, Copy, and Scan (All-in-One) – Easy configuration – Fairly compact size at 14.9" x 14.2" x 5.6" – Print tray automatically opens and closes when printer is powered on/off, further keeping the footprint small – Auto paper width detection – Excellent, mobile device support, allowing you to print directly from your Apple iOS or Android phone/tablet – Push the QR code button on the printer, and it will link you directly to the mobile app for download – Multiple ways to print: Wi-Fi (including AirPrint, Google Cloud Print), Bluetooth, Ethernet wired network, and/or wired USB (cable not included) – Apple: Mac OS compatible – Sharp, easy to read 1.44" OLED display that provides printer and print job status – Auto Duplexing so you can print on BOTH sides, saving on paper and storage space – Dual paper feed trays so regular and photo papers can be loaded and ready at the same time – Very cool, LED status bar at the front to visually show a print job is actively being processed – Sample photo paper included – Sample ink cartridges are included, which is industry practice. Keep in mind that they will run out sooner than normal CONS – Built for quality, not for print volume – Although photo print quality is excellent, clipart graphics have barely-noticeable banding in dark areas – No automatic document feeder, making the printer more suitable for low-volume print and copy use – No support for USB thumbdrives or SD cards – High print cost – As with most printers, the cost of ink is high (about $65 for the complete set at the time of this writing) – Small-capacity paper tray that holds about 30 pages TIPS – The "Canon PRINT for Inkjet/SELPHY" mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The media leaflet and QR code on the ink cartridge also take you directly there – If an app on your phone or tablet supports it, you can select the Canon printer to print directly to – If you do not print for a while, your ink nozzle may dry up a bit. Once in a while, you may have to run a self-cleaning cycle to keep the ink flowing optimally Overall, like many inexpensive, family-oriented, consumer printers, the high cost of the ink cartridges makes the per-page print cost high. However, the PIXMA TS series is known for its excellent photo reproduction where images and colors pop. This printer produces great output for low-volume homes and small offices, and is quite suitable for students needing to print reports and presentations.TechProAndPhotographer

Bought this to replace a 2 year old Pixma which was having issues with my network? Apart from the many improvements to this model, the first thing to notice is the sheer style o the unit. Very modern indeed with a flat lid and a real squared off look. I had real problems setting it up however, and after contacting JL Tech. Support was referred to Canon who resolved my problem instantly! The main reason I purchased this new machine was because it was Apple Print configured. However, I tried to set it up via the manual and on Page 5 it states that ALL INDIVIDUAL additional Smartphones must be installed separately. However, 5 minutes with a very helpful lady at Canon Support resolved the problem by simply setting up for all my many Apple items, via the WPS button on my router. Great support. Finally, however do Canon make a printer of this quality for the money? Very simple the high cost of replacement cartridges. Well you cannot win them all! I highly recommend this printer, and great value from JL online>Clifford

I purchased this printer exclusively for home use and so far, I am satisfied with the production and quality of the prints. My printer is paired with both my PC and Mac and had little issues setting up the printer for USB and wifi connectivity. One thing I do emphasize is to follow the instructions that are included with the printer to ensure your setup process goes smoothly. Also, if you plan on using the printer connected via USB, ensure that you purchase a USB-A to USB-B cable. The printer does not include a USB cable. As a budget printer, I knew what to expect and I wasn't wrong. The scanner is decent, the printer is loud when turning it on and while it prints, but again, not a deal breaker. I am happy with the purchase I made and would recommend this printer to anyone who needs a basic home printer for occasional printing. If you do need to print multiple pages, I would recommend a laser jet printer that easily handles high volume printing.Fozz

This little printer is quite the bargain. Less than $70 and it copies, scans, and prints documents and quality photographs. Prints on both sides with automatic duplexing.. saves paper. Control software and drivers are a breeze to install. Wireless operation in several protocols including AirPrint and Windows. I'm running Windows 11 and it works great. My wife prints from her iPhone and she loves it. It comes with one color and one black cartridge included. On the downside, replacement cartridges are a little pricey. So I bought a couple of rebuilt cartridges, for standby, and a refill kit… problem solved. There is no automatic document feeder for scanning or copying, but who could expect that for $70? All in all, one sweet little machine.Curt

This is an okay printer. Be warned, it doesn't ship with a cable to plug into your computer. If you don't want to install it wireless, you'll have to get your own cable. It prints well, so it does it's job. It's loud though… I don't know if it's the printer trying to find paper, but you can hear it running loudly after you first turn it on. It's awkwardly loud for a printer, I'm not sure how else to describe it. The drivers we needed, to get the scanner to work, were difficult to find on the website. It took some extra effort to get that part of the printer to function like it was supposed to, and that was with my husband, and myself, both being pretty familiar with computers and installing devices. Someone less technologically savvy might have a harder time getting this device set up. This printer isn't as user friendly as it could be, when it comes to dealing with issues. There are relatively fewer buttons to do things, and it makes troubleshooting problems difficult. While it looks simple to use, it isn't as simple when you need to try and address an issue. That being said, I like the fact that it has a scanner, you feed paper in through the front (and not the top), and the color is fun and different. For no more than I purchased it for, so far it's a decent little printer.ChaosCat

I had the Canon Selphy but the ink cartridges only printed maybe 10 pics before I had to change. Opted for the Canon Tr150, Great printer. Compact, opted in for battery pack as well for portability and based on my use the first time(printing 4×6 Photo booth style pics), starter ink cartridge printed roughly 60 plus(hard to pinpoint as I had customers ask for 2-3 reprints, based off actual content count on drive). Worked well. Print quality looks good and print time was okay roughly minute per but towards end when I had multiple customers could of used a second printer though….overall I recommend. I'm above average user(events, weddings, portraits) so worth the money so far.Walter

I travel out of town and my company likes to print things last minute or make me print last minute with the possibility of not having a printer to print to. I decided to invest in a portable printer so I wouldn’t look unprofessional to my clients for not having paperwork ready. This printer was easy to setup. It has its own “wifi” so it’s almost like a bluetooth printer; no need to be connected via cable nor need a flash drive. The only con I have is that the ink doesn’t dry instantly so I’ve encountered ink smears when I accidentally touch the printed paper. It could possibly be because of fresh new ink but who knows. Either way, it’s great. I carry it in my backpack. I use the power cable but I think I’ll also invest in the battery to avoid having to carry the power adapter.STACIE

Portable compact printer designed for people on the go! Recommend getting the battery pack (LK-72, costs $99) if you want it to be truly portable. Set-up was a breeze, took me less than 5 minutes to get it connected to my home Wi-Fi (5 GHz) and was able to print my first doc as soon as the set-up was complete. It took me a bit to figure out how to switch networks from home Wi-Fi to my Verizon MiFi hot spot and to configure it to a "wireless direct" print option. All the magic happens when you select the "settings" icon that is displayed on the LCD screen, which wasn't quite obvious the first time I looked at the screen as I kept searching the app for settings option. It goes without saying "when everything else fails, read the manual". The online printer manual link on the canon app came in handy for instructions on how to configure, change settings, connect to cloud, etc. I was able to print documents off of my IPAD (over Wi-Fi), smart phone (Wi-Fi), and PC (via google cloud printer) with all the devices connected to my Verizon WiFi hot spot. I saw couple custom template options on the settings and haven't explored those yet, but I see them coming handy to print custom forms on the go. Haven't tried the USB option to connect the printer directly to the PC, but might be good option when you are not connected to the internet. I noticed the printer does consume quite a bit of ink when you choose high quality prints so be ready to shell out ~$40 for replacement cartridges. Overall, I like this printer and it is compact and portable even though it's a bit pricey for a portable printer, but definitely avoids the misery of running around to find a printer or begging someone else to get you copy of your presentation when you are on the move.TechGeek

I bought this printer for school because a couple teachers need us to print things for some reason. It’s a really cool printer and it doesn’t take up too much space. I don’t print that much only for the occasional forms or pictures so I don’t know how much of a load it can handle but it prints just like a normal printer I guess. It doesn’t scan documents but I don’t need that feature anyway. It’s very easy to set up, putting in the ink was the hardest part because in slow. Keep in mind that your not only investing in a printer but also ink so I would suggest signing up for the instant ink. Ink itself is very expensive but the starting rate for instant ink is $5 a month with two months free. Great for studentsBRANLY

If you’re looking for a compact printer look no further! OMG I just purchased this printer yesterday and I love it! Its not bulky, it comes with a linen cover to cover the printer when not in use, and I subscribed to the ink subscription; which I think everyone should do. Its soo cheap!berlyn.r

Pros: I like the size of the printer and the neatness ie only one cable and cover streamlines it even further. Print quality is good – when it prints!! Cons: Pain having to manually do the back to back but not the end of the world. Worst part is that it constantly loses connectivity and shows message 'printer offline'. Because it's cable free you cannot connect to either the router or the pc/laptop to try and reconnect. Done the reinstall HP Smart app, unplug printer, unplug router, power down laptop. Reconnect x12. First few times (yes few – I've only had it around 1 month) it eventually came back on but haven't been able to connect for the last 2 days – very, very VERY frustrating!!SHEENA

Pros: Auto switch on /off is great facility, printer can be left off until printing a document where it auto starts and can be set to switch off again after a certain time. Good quality prints and came with a proper set of inks, not the cheapskate set of 'starter inks'. Cons: Dual side printing is very slow. The first side is ok but then it sits for several seconds before starting the cycle to reverse the paper and print side two.Ian

Printer won't connect to wifi, even when situated right next to the router. So yesterday we bought a USB cable to connect manually to our desk top p.c.. Got home, printed a previously scanned, saved document. Printed 3 pages VERY slowly. We then tried to print an email attachment received earlier. Nope, found it sitting in the print queue with a sign saying printer offline. No idea where to go next?!Disgruntled

I had been going into Staples every week for 6 weeks to try to buy this. It was discontinued, And, this was the floor model, so they could not sell it to me until it went on clearance. Joseph was there each Monday morning and checked with his manager each week and it was still NOT on clearance. Finally, I went in on April 3, 2022 and it was on clearance which meant I could purchase it. I needed this particular model because they are no longer putting SD card slots in the new printers. This one has it. Anyway, between Kyle and Denita, it took about 1-1/2 hours to get this transaction from point A to point B. It was not processing for some reason. I really appreciate their diligence and patience in helping me make sure this finally happened – and Joseph, too. Thank you all.CINDY

This printer works great for about 15 pages before the print jobs begin streaking. The streaking will continue to worsen for another 20-30 pages of printing or so. We then run through diagnostic prints, the alignment prints, and the smearing/cartridge cleaning prints. The diagnostic prints always say that we are using genuine HP ink and that the levels are good, so there shouldn't be a problem. Yet, the problem persists. None of the diagnostic or print quality tools solves the problem. So then we get a new set of cartridges and hope for the best. At this point, we are on our third set of cartridges which comes out to an average of 75 pages per set (the HP website advertises between ~165 and 200 pages per cartridge). That isn't even 75 pages of actual printing, about a quarter of those pages are attempts to clean the cartridges or the print heads. The other two quarters are streaked. What that means is that each page costs about $0.60 per page. If you exclude the number of diagnostic pages, you're spending $1.27 in ink per page. And if you exclude the streaked pages altogether (which we often have to when you're printing for official purposes where legibility is important) then you're spending $2.93 per page on ink and the rest goes to recycling. This is painfully wasteful. It isn't common that we have something important to print, but when we do we would really like a printer that can do the job. I also don't want to have to sign up for a regular ink shipment after a handful of print jobs. If I knew how much of a pain this printer would become I would never have considered HP.EthanP

This has been the WORST HP printer we have ever owned. It replaced an HP with similar features that was used regularly for 6 years. Color prints and copies: All of the colored copies are nowhere correct. Blue is not turquoise, yellow isn't peach. Copies are nowhere close to originals. The color is uneven and faded away in areas. We have reset and tested all the inks and settings. It has kept us from doing and displaying projects because the colored prints are just wrong. B/W documents: It prints documents with blank streaks across the pages and gray shadows down the sides. The ink is faded or splotchy in different areas. The gray shadows are there even when I use the feeder. Streaks are on all the colored prints too. If the printouts are useable, they are ugly. Photos: It prints photos with terrible hues of orange and yellow. We could not get this straightened out. I have yet to print anything I could share or handout. I googled, used the advice online from HP, adjusted print settings, and cleaned/replaced cartridges hoping it would improve (numerous times). I have spent hours on numerous days trying to get this printer to just print out a nice clean document. It never has. It's going in the trash and I regret not returning it within the year. If not for a small featureless printer in another room that saved the day I would have replaced it sooner. The photos are from this weeks last attempt at using this printer. Do better HP.MarD

I bought this for the second time, I had the older version of this printer bought a few years ago. The older version did not have the option to change the maintenance cartridge and as a result the printer stopped working. This one has the maintenance cartridge which can be replaced. I am very optimistic about this. Overall, this is a much better option than other types of printers. I wish these were not so expensive, I just feel they are over priced.Z

I like the print quality (albeit a little slow) and the fact that the ink lasts FOREVER. But what bothers me the most is the wifi connectivity. If you leave it on and it goes into sleep mode, it's hard to "wake" it up instantly by printing. You have to wait for the wifi to connect (no idea how it reconnects, sometimes randomly reconnects, sometimes it just doesn't). I now find that if you turn the printer off after you are done, turning it on does the trick of connecting to the wifi. Second issue I found is that, you have to pull your prints off of the tray immediately after it's done printing, OR THE MACHINE WILL ROLL IT BACK IN I don't know why. I think the machine does some recalib or whatever after it prints, and your paper just gets sucked back in during that process. So pull your prints away from the printer immed or else it goes wasted.Kathy

We had a Canon G3200 but it became a scanner only when the ink absorbing pads filled up. Bad design by Mr. Canon, planned obsolescence after 4 years. The G3260 has a replacement part for the ink absorbing pads at a reasonable cost. The 3260 is very flexible and has low ink costs. It is slow to start up and print. Dual sided printing is possible but you must manually turn the paper. Print quality is quite good and the scanning quality is ok. The other downside is the documentation. There are no instructions in the printed documents on how to actually set up a wireless connection through a router which would be the common way to use this printer. I had to ask Mr. Google for help. it did take a couple of hours to set it up even though I had set up the G3200 (in much less time). We use the printer for modest printer requirements including many photographs on good paper usually double sided. Also, we do a lot of scanning.Altair99

I specifically asked whether this printer could print on 8 X 10 glossy paper. I asked for a test print. The printers in the store are not operational. I think this is done intentionally. The salesperson did not know the answer, apparently. He said it could do this.Idonthaveone

I bought the Canon MAXIFY MB2120 because I loved the Canon PIXMA MX870 I've had for 10 years. I don't like the fact that there is no draft print so it is using ink very fast. I don't like the paper tray, especially when needing to print envelopes AND it prints the first 2 letters of the return address on top of each other! Having the rear feeder with much easier – same for using legal paper. It's just awkward! So is having 3" of the paper tray sticking out in front with the flimsy extension on top that is in the way of getting in the file drawer beneath where my printer sits. Using the key pad is also cumbersome when needing to touch the arrow keys so many times to get the screen needed. Yesterday it suddenly lost my internet connection so I had to reinstall the printer and drivers. Really disappointing since I've only had it for about a month. It does print well and does 2-sided pages quickly and easily.TERESA

The Canon Maxify MB2120 is a mixed bag. It prints well, but is an ink hog. I got 388 copies from a set of ink . Not good at all. Printing in color is excruciatingly slow. Printing 25 copies of a flyer, double sided took over a hour. On this printer, scanning from the ADF produced a grayed sheet (from a white paper) with a streak vertically down the middle of the paper. Scanning from the flatbed produced no such result. This printer will be returned.John

I purchased this printer to replace another Canon printer I had for several years that served me well. One major feature I required was the ability to print on CD/DVDs. The old printer did that and had an 8×11" cassette and a photo cassette. This printer cost twice what the old printer cost but not only has the 8×11" cassette but feeds other sizes from the back. I now have the ability to still print photos but also legal size as well as tabloid size(11×17"). My wife does a little crafting and it also prints 12×12" size papers. I have read some reviews where people have stated they wish they did not have to raise the panel to print. You have to raise it to get to the slot to print on DVDs so that wasn't an issue for me. This printer also connects to wifi a lot quicker than the old. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.JohnP

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. As a former, professional photographer, I also trusted Canon and Epson for accurate photo reproduction. Canon announced 4 new PIXMA printers in the summer of 2019, including the PIXMA TS6320, just in time for the back-to-school season. So, how does the TS6320 photo printer, which is geared towards students, fare? Pretty well! PROS – Update to its TS6220 predecessor with an easier setup process and updated user interface – 5 individual ink cartridges (Magenta, Black BK, Yellow, Black Pigment PGBK, Cyan), making more efficient use of colors, saving ink cost, and better output – Exceptional print quality, especially photos due to its 5-ink cartridge system – Text output is very sharp to about 6 pt font size – Can Print, Copy, and Scan (All-in-One) – Easy configuration – Fairly compact size at 14.9" x 14.2" x 5.6" – Print tray automatically opens and closes when printer is powered on/off, further keeping the footprint small – Auto paper width detection – Excellent, mobile device support, allowing you to print directly from your Apple iOS or Android phone/tablet – Push the QR code button on the printer, and it will link you directly to the mobile app for download – Multiple ways to print: Wi-Fi (including AirPrint, Google Cloud Print), Bluetooth, Ethernet wired network, and/or wired USB (cable not included) – Apple: Mac OS compatible – Sharp, easy to read 1.44" OLED display that provides printer and print job status – Auto Duplexing so you can print on BOTH sides, saving on paper and storage space – Dual paper feed trays so regular and photo papers can be loaded and ready at the same time – Very cool, LED status bar at the front to visually show a print job is actively being processed – Sample photo paper included – Sample ink cartridges are included, which is industry practice. Keep in mind that they will run out sooner than normal CONS – Built for quality, not for print volume – Although photo print quality is excellent, clipart graphics have barely-noticeable banding in dark areas – No automatic document feeder, making the printer more suitable for low-volume print and copy use – No support for USB thumbdrives or SD cards – High print cost – As with most printers, the cost of ink is high (about $65 for the complete set at the time of this writing) – Small-capacity paper tray that holds about 30 pages TIPS – The "Canon PRINT for Inkjet/SELPHY" mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The media leaflet and QR code on the ink cartridge also take you directly there – If an app on your phone or tablet supports it, you can select the Canon printer to print directly to – If you do not print for a while, your ink nozzle may dry up a bit. Once in a while, you may have to run a self-cleaning cycle to keep the ink flowing optimally Overall, like many inexpensive, family-oriented, consumer printers, the high cost of the ink cartridges makes the per-page print cost high. However, the PIXMA TS series is known for its excellent photo reproduction where images and colors pop. This printer produces great output for low-volume homes and small offices, and is quite suitable for students needing to print reports and presentations.TechProAndPhotographer

Bought this to replace a 2 year old Pixma which was having issues with my network? Apart from the many improvements to this model, the first thing to notice is the sheer style o the unit. Very modern indeed with a flat lid and a real squared off look. I had real problems setting it up however, and after contacting JL Tech. Support was referred to Canon who resolved my problem instantly! The main reason I purchased this new machine was because it was Apple Print configured. However, I tried to set it up via the manual and on Page 5 it states that ALL INDIVIDUAL additional Smartphones must be installed separately. However, 5 minutes with a very helpful lady at Canon Support resolved the problem by simply setting up for all my many Apple items, via the WPS button on my router. Great support. Finally, however do Canon make a printer of this quality for the money? Very simple the high cost of replacement cartridges. Well you cannot win them all! I highly recommend this printer, and great value from JL online>Clifford

I purchased this printer to replace another Canon printer I had for several years that served me well. One major feature I required was the ability to print on CD/DVDs. The old printer did that and had an 8×11" cassette and a photo cassette. This printer cost twice what the old printer cost but not only has the 8×11" cassette but feeds other sizes from the back. I now have the ability to still print photos but also legal size as well as tabloid size(11×17"). My wife does a little crafting and it also prints 12×12" size papers. I have read some reviews where people have stated they wish they did not have to raise the panel to print. You have to raise it to get to the slot to print on DVDs so that wasn't an issue for me. This printer also connects to wifi a lot quicker than the old. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.JohnP

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. As a former, professional photographer, I also trusted Canon and Epson for accurate photo reproduction.

I purchased this printer exclusively for home use and so far, I am satisfied with the production and quality of the prints. My printer is paired with both my PC and Mac and had little issues setting up the printer for USB and wifi connectivity. One thing I do emphasize is to follow the instructions that are included with the printer to ensure your setup process goes smoothly. Also, if you plan on using the printer connected via USB, ensure that you purchase a USB-A to USB-B cable. The printer does not include a USB cable. As a budget printer, I knew what to expect and I wasn't wrong. The scanner is decent, the printer is loud when turning it on and while it prints, but again, not a deal breaker. I am happy with the purchase I made and would recommend this printer to anyone who needs a basic home printer for occasional printing. If you do need to print multiple pages, I would recommend a laser jet printer that easily handles high volume printing.Fozz

This little printer is quite the bargain. Less than $70 and it copies, scans, and prints documents and quality photographs. Prints on both sides with automatic duplexing.. saves paper. Control software and drivers are a breeze to install. Wireless operation in several protocols including AirPrint and Windows. I'm running Windows 11 and it works great. My wife prints from her iPhone and she loves it. It comes with one color and one black cartridge included. On the downside, replacement cartridges are a little pricey. So I bought a couple of rebuilt cartridges, for standby, and a refill kit… problem solved. There is no automatic document feeder for scanning or copying, but who could expect that for $70? All in all, one sweet little machine.Curt

This is an okay printer. Be warned, it doesn't ship with a cable to plug into your computer. If you don't want to install it wireless, you'll have to get your own cable. It prints well, so it does it's job. It's loud though… I don't know if it's the printer trying to find paper, but you can hear it running loudly after you first turn it on. It's awkwardly loud for a printer, I'm not sure how else to describe it. The drivers we needed, to get the scanner to work, were difficult to find on the website. It took some extra effort to get that part of the printer to function like it was supposed to, and that was with my husband, and myself, both being pretty familiar with computers and installing devices. Someone less technologically savvy might have a harder time getting this device set up. This printer isn't as user friendly as it could be, when it comes to dealing with issues. There are relatively fewer buttons to do things, and it makes troubleshooting problems difficult. While it looks simple to use, it isn't as simple when you need to try and address an issue. That being said, I like the fact that it has a scanner, you feed paper in through the front (and not the top), and the color is fun and different. For no more than I purchased it for, so far it's a decent little printer.ChaosCat

As a step up from the excellent Pro-100, whick is a dye ink printer, the Pro-10 uses all pigment inks plus an optimizer cartridge. The pigment inks are archival and resist fading for decades. The ink is expensive, so don't consider one of these for an everyday document printer. For printing photos, this printer is unsurpassed to this day. I bought mine used and inoperable due to a clogged printhead that was stuck in the parking station. I had to disassemble the printer to remove the stuck printhead and replace the printhead with a new one. Now, it is perfect. It was in this condition because the first law of inkjet printing was broken by the original owner: you have to use it regularly in order for it to remain functional. Also, never turn it off so that it can run its own scheduled maintenace. This is especially true of any professional grade inkjet printer. The nozzles are microscopic and there are 10 different colors passing through each channel. I find that printing a pattern using all of the colors at least once a week will prevent clogging. This process can be automated using Qimage Ultimate. The prints that come out of the Pro-10 are nothing short of stunning, but you have to have the correct settings or ICC profile for the paper you are using. If you stick with the OEM paper, it simplifies the setup, but I make gorgeous prints on Ilford Fine Art paper with this printer. I also have a dye-ink Pro-100, which is excellent on gloss, satin, or pearl photo paper, but not the greatest on fine art paper. The pigment inks in the Pro-10 also make unbeatable quality prints on metallic paper, something that can't be done with a dye ink printer.cdixonm

This is a great product. I use it professionally with excellent results.The Epron R's have print heads that are very expensive. The Canon Pro-1 has ink that cost too much, (I use a lot). The models below the Pro-1 only have 8 inks or do not use dyes. My only complaint, and it's a big one, is to make this look as good as as the more expensive printers, you have to spend a lot of time determining the right profiles for the different papers you use. Surprisingly the most difficult papers to work with are the Canon papers. Canon does a horrible job with this and for some, this may be reason enough to go with Epson. That said, when you get it dialed in, it's amazing. Also, Red River papers are easy to profile and are a favorite of many.andersoninteractive

This is a great printer!! I researched this for weeks before I bought. Rated the best printer. Very high quality pictures. For photographs and art work. You can fill the ink tanks yourself. It comes that way from the factory. Official name "Cannon Pixma Pro High Deffinition Printer. 13 X 19" max. size pictures. Weighs in above 50 lbs.oneluckyguy1124

Bought five of these from Staples over a year ago for my small accounting office, replacing several well-used and reliable HP 1000s and 1200s and HP 6Ps. Well, I thought these would be great, and the print quality is very good, but there are a few things that work against this model. One, the toner cartridge is tiny and prints about half the sheets of my old printers at the same cost. Two, the cartridges are difficult to load and unload, getting snagged on the side rails quite often. Three, they print slowly with the HP driver for this model, and I had to use old printer drivers to get them to print quickly. Four, they will hang up and not print at all, until you turn off and on to "reset" the printer, and this was the suggested fix from HP support too. On the plus side, the toner laser is removable for easy replacement, and the paper fill drawer is totally accessible. and the print method of paper travel is good, like the older 1000s and 1200s, better than the 5p and 6p models.lakelander

The best feature for me on this printer is that it never turns off but instead, goes into a standby mode. Whenever you need it, just send your document to it and it prints. Note: other brands do not do this. Other brands turn off after a lack of use (You have to turn them on every day). The other feature that I like is the low profile and the large internal paper storage. These 2 features alone, make this printer a real workhorse for me. I am using this printer in the wired connection scheme, The time for first page to print is very quick, just another plus.RocketScientist

I downloaded and ran the HP Smart app and it found the printer on my secured wireless network and installed the Mac driver for it. It couldn’t haver been much easier. iOS AirPrint (unencrypted) worked without any additional configuration. There is one annoyance with this printer which accounts for the 4 stars instead of 5. You CANNOT set this printer to NOT go into sleep mode or turn itself off after a configurable period of inactivity. The maximum delay you can set for sleep mode is 1 hour of inactivity and the maximum delay you can set for turning off is 8 hours of inactivity. There are many heated threads between users and HP product managers about this “feature”, but it is a corporate policy for Green energy use and HP will not budge. It’s not a big deal for me because the printer is in my office and I can turn it on when I want to print. But you should probably choose a different printer if you’re looking for a workgroup solution or if you need to receive faxes 24×7.mtndrew

I am a serious amateur. This is my first photo printer. I bought this printer because I wanted to take control over my printing after having been unsatisfied with the results I had been getting from print labs, and I also wanted instant feed back I could get by being able to make tests prints and do so at a reasonable cost. I decided on the Canon Pixma Pro 200 because, according to reviews, its ink consumption is reasonable, the ink doesn't clog if I don't use it for a week, it is a reliable printer, and although the price was high, I felt worth it for a professional quality printer. It was easy to set up. After a couple of months use my printer is performing flawlessly, and I could not be happier. I print mostly black & white. This printer does an excellent job on b&w prints. I have not seen any magenta or purplish casts on the deep blacks which people complain about with dye ink printers. The tonal gradations look smooth and perfectly acceptable to my eye. Color prints are really good, too. Printer comes loaded with ICC profiles for all Canon photo papers, and you can add any other profiles you want. I use the Canon print software as an add-on in Lightroom. I'm using Canon photo paper, mostly Pro Luster and Premium Pro Matte for b&w prints, and I am very satisfied. I am very happy with the results I have been getting. Printing has made my editing better. I see things in the prints I missed on my computer screen. I make 5 x 7 test prints trying different edits before I make a larger print. I can do this at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this printer.Ralph

I print mostly 13 X 19 borderless prints on Canon's 'Glossy Photo Paper Pro Platinum PT-101'. This paper/printer combination produces the most stunning color prints I have ever seen. The inks for this printer are dye based. To my eye they give punchier colors without any hint of bronzing that pigment based inks can give. When I show people these glossy prints they are blown away by the quality. I upgraded to this printer from my Canon Pro-100. While that printer did a great job, the Pro-200s blues and reds are even deeper. It also seem that this printer wastes less ink getting ready to print. Printing is fast and precise. A joy to use. Now let me qualify my Headline statement. If you are doing B&W printing on gallery quality fine art fiber based matte papers this may not be your printer. While it certainly does a good job, a pigment based printer with a flat black ink cartridge will give better results. So, to conclude, I'm extremely happy with this printer. I use a calibrated monitor and print from Photoshop. The colors are surprisingly accurate. If this printer is anything like my old pro-100 you should also not have any head clogging issues, even if it sits for months between printing sessions.Bryan

This printer is incredible. I am an illustrator/graphic designer, so having the full bleed option to print 13 x 19 is wonderful. With the right paper, your photos, art, illustrations, designs, etc., come out looking incredible. I have only played with it for a few weeks. But it was a great investment. Plus, Best Buy sells it far cheaper than I found it on Amazon. It is quiet. Easy to operate. Large, of course. Make sure you have shelf space to incorporate it when dormant/closed AND when its trays are open for business.Doodlematt

I bought this version om M234sdw without the "e" version so printer did not have to be connected to internet 24/7 and so HP can monitor everything you print, etc. This is a ridiculous program/policy and also to monitor ink usage. Please read carefully! I do not understand why anyone would agree to HP Smart, etc. I had to pay $60 more for same printer for some privacy (supposedly) a year less warranty and no ink program. When trying to decide which printer to purchase I got conflicting info from HP sales staff and Tech staff about the differences between models with and w/o "e". Printer setup process was terrible. I had to call HP Tech Support3-4 times before I got someone who finally got printer setup without HP Smart, Ink program and another issue I do not remember. Without installing HP Smart this I need 6 Icons on Desktop for this Printer–ridiculous. Careful if you sign up for HP Ink Program, if you do it to soon the ink in starter cartridge may count as part of free ink. Supposedly models without "e" you can use third party ink but read this carefully–I do not think you can. I have always used HP ink in my other HP printers and plan to in the future. They put chips on their cartridges anyway and control if printer will print or not. I have been an HP supporter for about 20 years between PCs and Printers, but this has been a big confusing and frustrating process for just trying to buy a quality home printer. The HP Smart etc. is giving me doubts od future HP purchases. Other than all the Misinformation, Setup issues and having to have 6 icons so far seems to print well, Time will tell.BWEE

I have used HP printers for 35 years, and I have always found them dependable. I bought this printer without seeing it on display, and the Office Depot salesman did not know much about this printer. I bought one in the box, unseen. However, when I tried to install it, I found that HP requires a wireless connection and use of their own program HP Smart. After about two hours, I finally got the printer to work with a wireless connection, but it only worked one day. After that it stopped working. I finally reestablished a wireless connection and the printer would sound like it was starting to print, but it would not print. I was on the HP internet site at least 20 times, I talked to a HP service rep., and I did internet searches on my problems, all to no avail. Finally, I boxed up the printer, and returned it to Office Depot. I came home, found an old, used HP laserjet like the one I used for 20 years, and bought the used printer. The only positive thing about my entire experience with the HP printer is that Office Depot refunded my money promptly without any questions. However, the two men who waited on my at Office Depot were definitely not friendly. Neither asked me why I was returning the printer, how they might help, or if I had any questions about the printer. Neither offered to show me other printers. Neither said thank you, sorry, or la de da. I may have bouth my last electronic item from Office Depot.Professor Smith

We’re printing from home a lot more now due to so many people working from home because of the pandemic. Even as Covid fades over time (or not?), most predictions are that more people than ever will continue to work from home in the future now that we know it can work for a certain percentage of people. You need a good printer for that, and the HP – LaserJet M234sdwe may suit the needs of many of these people. It’s important right off the bat though, to remember that this is more of a business class printer. It’s a black and white laser printer – no color, and while you can print out b/w family project and kid’s worksheet type of things on it, it works best for business purposes. This is a fairly compact machine at around 14.5 x 16.5 x just over 17 inches in size, and 16 pounds. It offers a paper feeder capable of feeding up to 40 sheets on top, and a scanner bed via lifting the lid. I set it up using the Windows 10 app on my desktop using an ethernet cable connected from the printer to the router directly. You can also use it on 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz wifi systems, and I tested that out, too. It worked fine (though slightly slower) using that route, and was a little more sluggish on the 5 ghz router. There is a traditional USB port on here, but it’s covered by a label you have to remove, and if using it this way connected directly to a computer, you still have to have internet connectivity for it to function correctly. The “HP Smart” app set up pretty quickly after some registration rigamaroo and red tape, and once working, you are presented with a home screen so you can do a variety of things like print, scan, copy, print a photo (in b/w again, though), print project pages, and use a mobile fax feature. The app (computer or phone) is pretty much the only real way to do most of these things as the printer does not have a traditional color touch screen on it – only a small digital screen on the paper tray cover that allows only very basic functions. After getting up and running on the computer, I installed the app on an iPhone where it looked much like the Windows app, and functioned in a similar way, connecting via Bluetooth mainly to do it’s thing. Printing documents directly from the app only works with PDFs when it searches for docs, but if you use the print function directly from applications (like Word, etc) then you can print their own documents from those programs. Prints are very clear. Scans are also very clear. Using the Mobile Fax feature is unfortunately a bit cumbersome, requiring you to add docs or scan them while entering a fax number, adding a digital cover sheet, and sending… it just seemed to be too many steps and I would prefer the “old fashioned” way of just having a port in the back and a keypad on the machine itself to do this (yes, some businesses still do use faxes). HP offers a service called “HP +” with this and should you choose to take advantage of it, it will extend your warranty to two years, give you free replacement toner for six months, and monitor your toner use and send you a new toner when you need it. You pay depending on how many pages you will print per month with prices ranging from $1.99 per month for 50 pages, up to $25.99 per month for 1,500 pages, and several price points in-between. Families I think will get by with the lowest amount or perhaps $3.99 for 100 pages per month, while a small business or home business the larger amount or somewhere in the mid-range of $13.99 per month for 400 pages. The more you print the more you save, but you can forego this if desired and just buy toner cartridges outright, which average (give or take) roughly around $50.00 for regular yield and around $80.00 for high yield. You MUST use genuine HP toners in this machine. One problem… A reoccurring issue I had is that at night I’ll turn the printer and my computer off. The next day, upon booting everything up, the M234sdwe will not print directly from applications. I have had to run a diagnostic tool through a series of fixes to get it to print. After these are complete, then it will run perfectly for the entire day; until I turn it off again and upon restarting the next day, it will again refuse to print and I have to again, run the diagnostic tool. The tool will not fix it permanently. Turns out it’s some kind of an IP communication error between the computer and printer which requires some configuring in your control panel to get it working, until Microsoft updates fixes the issue. Long story short – you MAY have to resort to HP forums or help to get this working, depending on the machine you’re using it on, updates, etc. Overall the HP M234sdwe produces excellent prints, is reasonably fast, and isn’t super loud when in use. It’s compact enough to fit in most areas. It does offer many features you would need for home or small office use, but a few of them are clunky to use (such as faxing). No SD memory card or USB input slots limit input options, and the total lack of a color touchAtlantaGreg

It is very small/compact but it needs room for all the trays to fold out so you can add paper and it has a place for the output paper to land. So the space saving is nice in theory but impractical. I have used high quality multi function laser printers for 20 years and 'assumed' the quality of the print would be pretty good on this one since the technology is mature. The print quality is not great. Yes it prints, No is doesn't print fast. The price is attractive but like everything, you get what you pay for. I would say if you dont want an inkjet printer because you rarely need a printer (like me) and you dont care about how well the printed page looks – then this is a good fit ( considering the cost of replacement toner) but for me the print quality is marginal at best and each time I want to print – this think is like a transformer – you need to open up all its flaps etc.Ciao

So far this printer has been worth it for my family. Each page it prints has crisp text, which is a plus for anyone with vison problems. The step up of the printer is really easy. 1. Unbox and place the printer where you want it. 2. Connect the USB cable to your system and turn it on. 3. Install the drivers. (if you have a home WIFI chose install option #3) This installs the wifi drivers. Once this is done the end user can disconnect the usb cable. 4. Start printing. Note **The install drivers come on a CD, which is hard to believe in 2022. And the installation program can be downloaded from the company's website for those without a cd or dvd drive in their system.** Once this printer is connected to the wifi network it can be used from even a mobile phone (without the company's mobile app) it works with direct print which for me was a plus! Even though that function was not listed on the box or in any of the manuals that came with the printer. So far I've liked everything about this printer, it's easy to setup and use. even installing the tonner cartage was easy. On the plus side the cost of the replacement tonner cartage is far less than I would have thought $50 – $60 dollars. If you are primarily printing black and white pages then this printer is the one for you! Inexpensive and a small foot print a plus for small apartments or office's. (I have it sitting on a small table out of the way) But well worth it to the budget minded consumer.wolf421

The set up was easy except for my computer lacking a CD player. Pantum associate led me through getting the driver. The printer is only black ink, which is what I wanted. Once you attach a USB cord to the computer you can then print what is on your screen. However, I do miss having SCANNER! I didn’t realize that when I bought the Pantum.Mary
