Canon Pixma MX926 (page 2 of 3)

Just bought this printer, it has plenty to offer but nothing I can use to do my work or projects. Not able to add my prints to page, only when you use their templates. The printing is very poor colour quality. Refills are ridiculously priced, cheaper to just throw it away and buy new one (not good for landfill). I'm so sad my other Canon has stopped working it was the best one ever. Next time I find a good printer, I'm buying two of them. So disappointed.

Bought this printer from JB HiFi in Jan 2014 for $196. Previously owned HP printer and got more than 5 years out of it. This Canon printer has only be used for for normal home use- maybe 5 per week on average and I have now got the Error Message 1403- "the type of print head is incorrect- install the correct print head. Read up online on workarounds for this error and nothing works.

Great office printer, also prints CDs, functionality is great. Multiple auto feeder pages scanning. We own canon previously (similar) to this model, as we needed it for our admin jobs and CD printing. We've never had any problems... Eventually it stop functioning (the old unit) after few years... Great unit

Have had this printer for almost a year now. I use it at least three times a week for basic printing and scanning. Easy to use without a manual. Reliable and never had any issues with it. The cartridges are very expensive - but seems to be the standard price for most printers.

Unreliable. Expensive ink. Have to replace all ink even when one cartridge runs out. Internal paper jams are next to impossible to unclog. Avoid like a child with chickenpox. The scanning software is terrible. Slow as a wet week to print. Error codes make no sense. Canon's 'help' videos suck. I gave up and bought a brother instead.

I was initially very pleased with the Canon Pixma MX926. Easy set up, quick print.it is bluetooth and thus was perfect for my needs
Then about two months after having it, it refused to print, claimed it couldnt connect...then it started telling me I didnt have any ink in it, no black no colors.this would be incorrect for the simple fact, I hadn't even used any of the colors.Im just annoyed with it now as the ink is not cheap.
Dissapointed.

Worked OK most of its life for printing, although the scanning software is terrible - often wanted to scan multi-page document but saved each page as new pdf. Using MacOS. And document feeder didn't work for scanner, only copier.
But last month it just failed to turn on. No obvious reason why, and no ability to troubleshoot (plugged in, and not a sign of life). Now I have lots of spare ink to unload...

This printer has a lot of desirable features but unfortunately the printer died just a few months after the warranty ended. The printer gives a vague error message and doesn't allow access to any of it's functionality (printing/scanning..). Have done factory resets, print head cleaning, etc.. It seems designed to fail.

Worst printer ever my image garden won't work on windows 7 tried so many times to uninstall, reinstall after downloading straight from the canon website as the disc installation was tried first worked once and then never worked again it's useless, still my image garden freezes worst decision I ever made should have stuck to HP never had a problem with them.

I havent got a problem with the print quality. My problem with this printer is that it is extremely slow, very noisy and frequently crashes or doesnt respond. It has been unacceptable from day one and I will return to laser printers once this one really bites the dust. Not happy.

Printing don't have any issues, yes uses lots of ink but quality is great
scanning function is beyond horrible. Takes 3-5 minutes per page.... PER PAGE!!!!!! to scan
have to get other software to really be able to change or modify resolution or document size.
I would not recommend this printer for scanning on my worst enemy. Every time I think of scanning I just picture the Office Space movie because I would love to toss this out the window and smash it to bits. Each year I ask for bestbuy gift cards or a new printer in hopes I will finally be able to do this!

When I purchased my printer from Cancalc they told me to leave it turned on. This saves a lot on ink usage. It will go to sleep & wake up when a print job is sent to it. If you power it off & then power it on it will do a heavy deep clean as it doesn't know how long it was off for. This is necessary to keep the heads functioning correctly. SO DON'T TURN IT OFF, EVER.

Just purchased and think it seems pretty good so far, Had canon printers for past 20 years, just recently put down MX715 and MX870 both had smaller opening for printed work to the front, this is quite a lot larger, opening the full width of the printer. No print tray to the back may be a problem as found that handy in previous models however there is a smaller print tray above larger one so this should cover that issue and now I can put right up against the wall. Has compatible ink available so can avoid the over inflated prices of the original ink.... optimistic, this should be a good buy.... :)
