Great for price
I just hooked up this printer today. Very easy to install, first time I can use with cell phone to print. Works great! Photo is sharp and colors are as should be. Is pretty quiet and print speed is fast, photo takes longer but not a problem. I had a Canon MX340 for 8 yrs, best printer Ever! Still works perfect on old computer. I bought a new computer and my Canon MX340 wont work. I went to web site and that printer is discontinued and driver Not available. I would buy that one again in a heartbeat. Long story short, I bought this TR8620, it is not the quality of my Canon MX 340, but for price it seems to be good, so far. Amazon has the MX340 for sale for over $600 ( I didnât, pay close to that yrs ago), so anyone thinking of buying that Canon model, think again, it is discontinued and the driver is Not available from Canon. There are sites where you can download that driver but I wont chance going onto a random site to download anything. I just hope this TR8620 lasts for few years.

Very pleased with performance and consumables.
Many years ago, I was the proud owner of a Canon PIXMA printer (sorry, can’t remember the model) when quality was paramount in the build, operation, interface and resolution, and the consumables. Prior to that ownership, I used other manufacturers and models and found the Canon line superior. With other units, I experienced clogs jets, high ink use and slow print and scan speeds. After some years, my Canon would no longer come ‘online’ to my WiFi and even direct PC linking was intermittent despite returning it to factory reset or attempting technical support.As I searched for a replacement, I checked out the current offerings and found most to be wanting…an evident lack of quality in construction, noticeable loss weight (heft), and features. I looked at other manufacturers and aside from ‘buying to try’, couldn’t find a another manufacturer without spending a fortune for a home printer. I opted not to go the ink tank route since I print only occasionally (a lot when I do) and tank reviews are mixed requiring frequent printing.I purchased a different Canon model, and didn’t like the print speed, noise and rate of ink consumption.I have that unit away and purchased this model and am pleasantly surprised by the differences. I had some experience with an earlier version of this model (purchased for a relative), that had the same front panel, front/rear paper loading options, SD chip option, WiFi connection and ink replacement features.I didn’t see any of that as off-putting – in fact, rear loading (especially for heavier stock) is a plus. So cutting to the chase: I’m please with this model. The GUI/LED panel has all the functions you could look for and is intuitive…you don’t actually need a manual. Linking to the WiFi was simple and quick. The print speed is faster than I anticipated and ink consumption is clearly better than the prior Canon unit. The network experience is good (laptop) , particularly when using Canon Inkjet Smart Connect (and likewise the mobile app when printing from it – both iPhone and iPad). Scanned images of documents, etc. are crisp, although I wish it would offer more than 600dpi when doing photos or images, but in those cases I use my iPhone/iPad for captures.Bottom line: Canon still makes a good product ‘tho the trend has been to use cheaper materials – more plastic parts noticeable in heft and feeling less solid. But all the competitors are doing likewise. And ink consumption is a problem across all lines, but that’s where they make their most profit even with tank units. There appear to be complaints about WiFi setup and performance; I have not encountered any issues with Canon software setup, and I will say that this touch screen interface is much easier than other Canon units.Lastly…there are complaints about having to raise the control panel to print – freeing up the space for paper tray loading and exiting prints. But I don’t really find that so annoying. The backlit LED panel is large and the touch screen easy to access, navigate and the functions intuitive. I wish the ADF could handle two-sided originals, but again not necessarily a deal breaker for me – it might be if I had large double-sided documents to scan or copy.I hope this helps.

TRICKY TO SET UP PRINTING – HERE’S HOW to MAKE IT EASY! READ!
This is for the Canon PIXMA TR8620a using a MacBook Pro.Set up of this printer is easy. Hooking it up, installing cartridges, etc.But what IS infuriating is figuring out how to get it to print from your MAC computer.If you have a MAC, DO NOT use the instructions in the “Getting Started” manual about downloading their printer drives. I wasted almost 3 hours trying to figure out what was wrong. ALL of the files on the Canon web page that you are supposed to download to your computer in order to print, are damaged and don’t work – at least that’s what I found to be the case when attempting to download them from two different official Canon sources. That said, here is what you SHOULD do…Use the Getting Started Manual to set up the printer with the cartridges, etc. Then, ignore the set up instructions beginning with Step 7-a. Next, connect your printer to your WiFi. I found a YouTube video that made it clear, since the Getting Started manual says absolutely NOTHING about how to do this. And it’s NOT intuitive.Once you have it set up and connected to WiFi, HERE’S HOW to print: Open a document that you want to print, click the printer icon, click on the printer options, then select “Add Printer”. It will find the printer via your WiFi network and you can simply double-click to select it.Don’t bother fiddling with the download of the drivers from the Canon website in Step 7a (there are two options for this and neither work) – supremely and ridiculously MADDENING. It shouldn’t be this hard to figure out but it is. And there is literally no reason to do this.Other than the nonsense I outlined above, the printer is fast, makes nice, crisp copies, and works well. My last Canon lasted almost 20 years so I have high hopes for this one!
