CanonimageCLASS MF462dw - Monochrome, Duplex Wireless Laser Printer, All-in-One with Scanner, Copier, Fax, Home or Office, Auto Document Feeder, Mobile Ready, 3 Year Limited Warranty, 37 PPM, White

As the headline says the speed and ability to copy 2-sided documents is great. Although the whole idea of using a FAX seems outdated, there have been occasions when I need to fax a document - and fax is the most secure way to electronically send a document.I have wired ethernet in my home office so I just plugged in the network cable and the printer grabbed an IP address from my router (via DHCP) and was ready to go. It was immediately available to print from my iPhone.As some reviewers said the software installation can be a little confusing. One of the steps is to choose one (or more) drivers for the printer. There really is no simple description between the 3 drivers to help you decide. I chose all three and ended up with 3 different Canon printers showing in my Windows 11 PC. I just used the first one to print and it works just fine. I'll probably remove the other 2 to avoid confusion. I recommend you just choose the first driver unless you know what the others do.One of my first uses was to print some address labels. I really liked the ability to load more than one blank label pages in the secondary feeder rather than the usual one-at-a-time found on my old multi-function printer. The back of the printer opens up to keep the label pages from curling up and possibly jamming the printer.When I first tried labels for some reason the printer thought there was a paper jam (there wasn't) and the process of clearing the jam was a little crazy. The screen required me to go through a bunch of steps and keep pressing next. I couldn't figure out how to circumvent all the steps and it 'sensed' when I completed each step - like take out the toner cartridge.The touch screen could use a lot of improvement. If you are used to using a smart phone screen you will be a little frustrated with this printer's screen. I doesn't seem to work all the time. Did I press that button already? Why didn't that work? Just slow down and use deliberate presses to avoid some frustration.I purchased this during Prime Days at an extremely attractive price. I look forward to trying out more of the features such as 2-sided scanning and higher resolution printing. I still wonder if it will do 2-sided fax too.

I have bought several home use printers and been overwhelmingly disappointed each time. The ink never lasts, there are constant comparability issues, etc. this printer has been the first one that consistently works as expected every time. Setup is really easy, and my wife and I are both able to effortlessly print from our phones anywhere in the house. That’s a feature that other printers have advertised but have always been too difficult to set up for what it’s worth. I have used this printer heavily for the last several months, to include print jobs several hundred pages. The original toner is still kicking out bold prints with no issues and no blur or fade. Doesn’t have color options, but considering the low cost of use and the reliability it’s a small price to pay. Would purchase again without hesitation.

I got a wonderful deal on this printer, and I don’t regret it for a moment! It has exceptional, speed and many options. I’ve used it to print an envelope, and that was relatively easy to figure out copies are simple and very fast and printing from any wireless device is a breeze. Using some of the more complicated features was more complicated than it needed to be. For instance, scanning a document and uploading it to a cloud server was extremely complicated. Do you have to go to the IP address of the printer, then go through a ton of different settings to configure it And then it only allows you to do it in that one preset manner you are unable to change whether you’re submitting a JPEG or PDF color or black-and-white so you would need a different button programmed for every type of scan that you want to do, as I said previously, unnecessarily complicated . My last printer had a single button that said, upload the cloud, and you could press that and then choose your options before you start at the scan, but given all the features available and the variety of ways to get documents, saved to cloud or local hard drive., this was definitely worth it!

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. The printer works great! .... When it wants to connect. The printing, scanning, multi functionality is fantastic....when it wants to connect. Then I cannot stop each time it decides to connect it goes through a test print cycle and wastes paper and I have to reload five sheets every single time. Drivers don't fix it. Connecting USB doesn't fix it. There aren't many settings that allow me to mitigate the issue of connectivity. Printers have always had issues, and I guess it will continue to be like this through the entirety of civilization. I have to restart the printer and my PC to get it to connect. It makes no sense. Printers will never make sense to me.
