   This has worked well so far.
   Needed a printer sort of ASAP and found this. I have never used the bottled ink but it was easy to load. Set it up on multiple devices and so far all is good. Have not printed pictures or index cards as of yet but very pleased with the work so far. When looking at printers, so many do not print duplex. This one does and am pleased with the purchase.

   Works well
   I really like this printer, although I haven’t had it long. That said, setup was a bit of a challenge. It didn’t install from plug and play, but I’m running Windows 7 and that could have been a factor. They give you a web address for installation instructions which lists a BUNCH of different equipment and topics. I finally searched on G-4280 setup and that link took care of everything. Adding ink went fine and I think the decision to get away from cartridge printers was a good one. Print quality looks good and so far, I’m very pleased.

   Canon Megatank G4280: The Printer That Makes Your Photos Pop!
   If you’re on the hunt for a printer that not only delivers stunning prints but also saves you from the ink refill nightmare, the Canon Megatank G4280 is your new best friend! This all-in-one wireless supertank printer is like the Swiss Army knife of printing—capable of printing, scanning, and copying, all while keeping your wallet happy.Taste the Quality: Imagine this: you’ve just printed a photo of your last vacation, and it looks so vibrant that you can almost hear the ocean waves. The G4280 uses a hybrid ink system that combines pigment black for sharp text and dye-based colors for those eye-popping images. The result? Photos that are not the greatest but recent update helped alot with contrast photos being printed.

   Updated 2 months later from 5 stars – it’s malfunctioning. Paper jams and print quality sucks!
   Junk! Junk! Junk! Why? Well because it was working just fine for two months. Now suddenly it’s a piece of junk! I had a canon for 10 years, and it was perfect. I upgraded to this one oaring the cheaper made material and it started acting up, eating the paper the paper jamming constantly smearing the cartridge, unable to clean the nozzles, unable to realign it was never dropped or abused. It worked fine for two months I bought the four year warranty on it. I didn’t even get past the manufacturers warranty. Amazon took it back. I like Canon but I would never buy another one of their cheap inkjet printers so I say Avoid this one. It’s not the same canon as I had for 10 years running. It’s sad because I was so excited for this printer and I noticed it it’s cheaply made but I ignored it. I just thought it would be fine. Big mistake Buy something else or return it before it’s too late! It’s cheaply made.All of these positive five stars are seeing are temporary. About the four-year extended warranty and it didn’t even last two months.

   So far so good!
   Easy setup and easy to connect to WiFi. Touch screen is nice everything is easy to see and understand. Prints well as far as text haven’t printed any photos yet. The app is pretty easy to use to print from phone. It connected to my laptop easily. Hopefully will last as long as my last Canon printer.

   Disappointing
   Pros: fast; decent print quality and I like the tank concept. Cons: 1) SINGLE-SIDED PRINTING!!!! Seriously? In this day and age? My fault, however, as I didn’t notice that in the details. 2) I don’t like that there is no internal paper tray. The rear feeder and lack of automatic print tray defeats the purpose of the compact size. 3) It was an ordeal getting the WI-FI set-up and it is still not working easily/properly between printing from my laptop and then air-printing from my iPhone. 4) It shuts off and won’t wake up unless you physically go turn it back on. This doesn’t work for me as I tend to print out things from my phone as I needed from wherever I am in the house. This design flaw makes it necessary to visit the printer and find a connection every time I want to print. 5) The screen is ridiculously small and awkwardly placed. 6) I had a PIXMA MX922 that I paid $100 for that was heavy-duty so I was disappointed in the lightweight material of this unit at the price point.All in all, I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to keep it. The cons definitely outweigh the pros. That said, if I can get it to wake up and air-print more easily, I will probably keep it as I do like the speed and print quality.

   Horrible Setup Instructions
   So far, I like this printer but it has the most horrible set-up instructions I’ve ever seen. Be prepared to scratch your head while setting it up. Among other things it had me try to print a test page before telling me how to load the paper (hint: it all goes in the back tray, which holds 100 pages. There is no other tray). Also, one feature I forgot to look for: it does not connect via a LAN – only wi-fi or USB. That’s not a big deal but I prefer LAN connections.
