Title: This is one hell of a printer for the price
Review: I have to buck the trend here because I love this printer. First of all, this was not designed to be your home office all in one. This was meant to be used in a corporate setting as a network photo printer serving a floor or small workgroup. I have 2 other Canon printers, a TR and TS. This ib4120 outperforms both those printers in print quality. It can spit out a 20 page document before either of those two finish making all those mysterious sounds when you first hit the power button. PLUS the cartridges in this thing are HUGE. They last at least4 times longer than those little “tanks”. I have two Pro-100’s, a TR and a TS series. i am not kidding when i say this 4120 is my favorite. I connected it to my router with a network cable – I didnt bother with wireless, and I have had no problems whatsoever. It is a pain that you can only change the cartridges when the printer tells you to. But there is a way around this – you unplug the printer while its printing and then you can change cartridges.In summary, i love this printer because:500 sheet paper trays – advanced paper handling, 2 seperate trays, i put plain paper in one and my photo paper in the otherit is very fast in standard mode. as slow as other canon printers in high quality modeCartridges last forever and 1 dayPrint quality is almost as good as my pro-100 which has 8 ink tanks. Blacks are amazing – true black, not dark grayThe LCD is display is bad. Seriously I can’t believe how bad it is. It’s a tiny little black & white 2 line LCD. You are required to read it in order to operate the printer, but the font is so small, i have to use a magnifier to see it AND it’s not backlit, so I must use a flashlight to illuminate the lcd because it is so dark I can not see it at all.The printer is not perfect, but it only costs $100, so put a flashlight next to the printer.I print alot of high resolution graphics. On plain paper this printer has the best quality output.Added the following on 11/19/2020:I now own three of these printers and I am going to buy a fourth to have one on hand. All the reviews you read here are terrible – and thats just how Canon wanted it. You see, they market this printer as a business printer. As such, the ink is a fraction of the cost because Canon expects it to be used in a high volume office. So if your average home user were to buy this printer, the cartridges that come with the printer would likely last a year or two. The cartridges for this printer are about 10x bigger than the ones in those home multi-function units that canon sells, So Canon purposely makes this printer in such a way that it is unpleasant for a home user. For an IT professional, it is really simple. If you know how to log into your router and do a WPS connection to this printer, it works flawlessly first time, every time. I have 2 – Canon PRO-100 professional photo printers that get very little use now. This $ 129 printer has better resolution prints!

Title: Total piece of crap
Review: We bought this printer a couple of years ago, I think based on decent seeming Amazon reviews? I am only now writing this review because we are finally getting rid of this piece of junk. I just bought a new Epson that is everything this Canon is not, so even though the Canon still “works”, it’s going out in the trash. I would donate it to the local thrift store, but I feel I shouldn’t put people through the pain we went through. Our issues…?1.) It’s big, heavy and bulky, way bigger than it needs to be considering it is just a printer2.) It prints incredibly slowly, and spends an agonizing amount of time whirring and clunking before it prints even a B&W page3.) The initial setup and calibration took what felt like an hour, again with endless whirring and clunking4.) It has a teeny little monochrome LCD screen. We had the printer in a closet – that had lights in it – but we still needed to use a flashlight to read the stupid LCD screen.5.) Every time we needed to print it seemed we needed to run upstairs to the printer to press on “Ok” button on the machine before it would actually print. To confirm paper tray or something? Not sure6.) Worst of all – it BLOWS through print cartridges, refills are of course obscenely expensive, and none of the stores in our area actually stocked the type Canon cartridge this printer takes.We used to like Canon, but based on this printer we are never buying another Canon product.

Title: Works fine as a low end wireless printer
Review: Works fine as a low end wireless printer. It’s pretty bulky but not that heavy. Strange ink management. Highly recommend downloading and reading this section of the manually carefully. First, I will say that the problems I have with this printer are unlikely to be encountered by others. I purchased the printer for part-time use in a cabin that isn’t winterized. I was worried about ink freezing during winter, but found I couldn’t remove and store the cartridges in a warm place. Once removed, a cartridge can’t be placed back in the printer and the only way to remove a cartridge is to wait until it is empty. Had to leave the printer and take my chances on freezing. I should have an update next May. However, even if the cartridges don’t freeze, or freezing doesn’t affect performance, they may be unusable because of the length of idle time. The manual suggests that the printer may be damaged by the way I’m using it.

Title: Forget “wireless”.
Review: Only one problem, but it’s a big one — the unit simply will not connect to my wifi network, no matter what I do or what tricks I try. Others, I see, have had the same problem.In all fairness, it prints beautifully — especially photographs — but only in wired mode. So if you are okay with a strictly wired setup, and your needs are purely printing-related (there are no copy or fax functions), then you might be happy with this unit. (I am — I bought 2 of them, and use them both, mostly for printing photographs.)But if you really need the wireless capability, and you need the copy and fax functions, look elsewhere. My suggestion (no financial interest) would be the Brother MFC-J995DW, which also prints beautifully, has the multiple functionality, and practically installed itself on my wifi network.
