Canon Pixma MX850

Pros:

Quality, Speed, Value, Ease of Use

Cons: I have yet to find one

The Bottom Line: I woul recomend this unit with complete confidence to anyone. I am totally happy and very very satisfied with its performance and funcionality

Review: My panasonic dedicated Fax machine died so I began to look for an All in one figuring I would also replace the Epson RX600 I had. After doing so searching I saw the Canon MX 850.The overall size of this machine is larger than the Epson but ...

Pros: Fast printing and scanning, paper tray, Ethernet

Cons: Big physical size

The Bottom Line: Fast printing, scanning and copying. Ethernet connection, paper drawer.

Review: I purchased this printer to replace my Canon MP that Canon won't write software/drivers for to scan with Vista 64. I have a home computer desk that has a slide out drawer for my printer. This printer is BIG and just barely fits, I actually have to sit it ...

Pros: Fast printing, very good printing results on a variety of paper.

Cons: If you have Vista I don't know if it will work.

The Bottom Line: I have used photo paper and regular paper and haven't had a problem yet. Printing is very good. It is a good price for what it can do.

Review: I wasn't looking for a machine with too many extras that I would never use.I wouldn't call the MX850 a printer but more like a copy machine with a few extras and you can connect it to your computer. Having a paper cartridge is nice, no more ...

Pros: Two sided copying & printing, fast, reasonable ink cost, Linux mostly works

Cons: Network feature is half baked, huge footprint, gaps in the feature set

The Bottom Line: Economical & versatile but network feature not ready for primetime

Review: Considering its $200 price at Best Buy, you get a very versatile machine.  It can automatically make a two-sided copy from a two-sided original.  Printing speed is easily 7 or 8 pages a minute in real-world use.  Dual paper trays, in back ...

Pros: Printing, scanning, fax sending are of good quality, but not outstanding.

Cons: Unattended receipt of fax requires special phone setup.

Review: Have MX 850 installed about a month. If unattended receipt of fax is important, avoid this All In One. The MX 850 must be first in sequence on the telephone connection. All other devices, extension phones, answering machines, etc. must be in serial ...

Pros: Adequate printer performance

Cons: Lousy scanner interface for custom scanning. Lousy fax receiving. Lousy tech support.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this machine.  Not user friendly and does not perform to advertised specifications/owners manual specs.  You should add a third category in "Recommend to a friend?"  "Hell no."

Review: I can't believe Canon put out this product. I previously owned a MP780 and printed probably close to 30K pages over 4 years before it wore out. Hence I bought the follow-on MX850. How could I go wrong A little more speed, maybe an extra improvement ...
