I've been using this printer for over a year now. Print quality is very good. It prints quite fast for normal documents and automatic duplexing is great. I does work well for printing labels, however the special stock loading tray can only accept one sheet at a time. (Note that Avery recommends only loading a single sheet anyway.) I had some trouble with the scanner app early on, but after upgrading my PC I've had no issues. (They either improved the MFScanUtility or driver compatibility issues with old hardware went away.) Scanning and printing wirelessly over the network works well with very quick setup.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. ASSEMBLY: Easy, nothing to it, the unit comes out of the box ready to go, just connect a few cables. The machine is heavy, much heavier than other all-in-ones that I have owned. Hopefully, that heft makes for a better-quality machine and it only takes up slightly more space than other all-in-ones that I have had. Nice footprint. SETUP: The printer was relatively easy to get up and running with the most basic of settings. The touchscreen operation is easy and nicely customizable. The manual that comes inside the box is only for basic setup and while it doesn't have the clearest instructions, it did help me get the basic setup accomplished pretty quickly. Setting up more advanced features like scanning was mildly confusing. I assumed there would be a downloadable User's Manual; mine did not come with that; there was a folder called Manuals but no User's Guide in it. It did contain a “Send Guide” expressly for configuring scan settings only, which was clearer than the Guide that they have online at their website, but ultimately I was not successful in setting up the scan configuration; probably user error/my fault and not theirs. QUALITY & RELIABILITY: The paper tray is an average size, holding about 200-250 pages. After printing about 20 color pages, the blue cartridge was already at 20% which was disappointing. The print quality is good, comparable to others I've had when the source is digital. But when it copies the same material, it loses detail. For example, I printed a small map from my laptop and it came out great, but when I put that same map through the feeder to be copied, many of the fine lines and divisions were lost. That is a significant detractor in my opinion. It is faster at printing than others I've had, especially when printing double-sided – in this regard the machine's ability is excellent. Overall it seems like a solid machine for home use but lacking the fine detail in copying, I probably wouldn't recommend it for business use.

Had it for a year. Setting up the scanner to scan to network was 100% too hard to do. We put a man on the moon FIFTY YEARS AGO and yet today it takes a whole team of computer scientists to put scans onto my desktop. C'mon Canon, we know you can do better. Also toner is priced like it comes with blood diamonds. This will be my last Canon printer.

It seems Canon has produced a printer of such poor quality that it should have it's own classification in the Product Hall of Shame. Nothing works easily and print quality is terrible. If you are considering this printer ... save yourself nothing but headaches and heartaches, do not buy it!

We've had this printer just over a year and it has been the workhorse of a small SOHO network with three computers accessing it for printing and scanning. I've had printers before that I have wanted to throw out the window and frankly was holding my breath with this one. I can finally exhale. After 13 months having gone through the starter cartridges and 30% into the new ones, I can attest to at least our experience that this is dependable and output (both scan and print) are of good quality. If I had one gripe, it may be that the software is a bit less elegant than it could be, but that was overcome with a small learning curve (for example, using the ADF to make double sided copies can be done from the touch screen - but making double-sided SCANS has to be done from the software - go figure). I give this 5 stars easily because while the learning curve is a one-and-done thing, the quality endures.

Just got the printer and set it up in relatively short time. Tried printing one page and scanning a page. Everything works so far, and it connected wirelessly to my network. I just had this long white plastic piece left over that I cannot figure out. I have no idea what it is for or where it goes.Maybe some day, I will figure it out. But it seems to work without it.

Ordered online and received printer today. So easy to setup. I connected wirelessly to my home router, was immediately able to print from Samsung laptop and iphone without downloading any software. Print quality is great! I originally wrote this review on the MF642cdw in error. I have the MF644cds model and love it!

Ever since I got this printer it hasn't worked right. The quality of the document or picture isn't very well. Of course, I am no expert on printers but I have worked with a few in my 50 years and this one I would not purchase again. The system is too complicated and the screen is too hard to maneuver.

I had high hopes for this printer, however, I'm about to return it because of a paper feed error that prevents the printer from working. Out of about 10 attempts, I only was able to successfully print one document within the first week of having it. UX of touch screen leaves something to be desired too. Errors are cryptic and don't leave user with any solutions for fixing. All around bad product. Do not purchase.

I have a Canon MF644Cdw. Once I set up the printer drive, it prints but after a month the printer connection to my laptop stops working for no apparent reason. I keep getting error message that "cannot find printer". I have had this issue after printer drives put on two laptops. The printer works for about a month and then stops printing or connecting to my laptop. Why?
