Canon PIXMA G2200 Megatank All-In-One Printer, Print, Copy and Scan

I have had this printer for almost 6 years, I print all the time for a non-profit I volunteer with, for my homeschool kids programs and for personal things, I have printed literally thousands of copies. In that time I have only spent $60 on ink!!! The alignment is just now (23,000+ copies use later) starting to be a little bit off and I can't seem to correct it, but that is my only complaint. My daughter and I just did the math and for how much I've used this printer, I've spent about a penny per copy - almost always full color!!! (23,000 copies using 3 orders of ink + original purchase price of the printer). I don't mind that it isn't wireless because it connects automatically. It is so easy to use!

I bought this printer because I wanted to have one where I could replace the ink myself. I am so tired of paying through the nose for ink cartridges! And this printer has very easy to fill ink tanks, does both black and white and color prints, and has easy to figure out settings. I also did not need a scanner or other peripheral uses from the printer because I already have machines that do those things. This printer has been not only easy to use, but also has not had the big hassle I seem to have with every other printer of every other brand (believe me, I have had tons of them over the years.) It prints the number of prints I want and doesn't get stuck, freeze, or mess up the prints after several pages like so many other ones I have had. The prints are crisp and clean, no streaks or other problems. I have not printed any photos, only documents, but they are all great. I think the reason it works so well is possibly because it doesn't have all those other bells and whistles. But whatever the reason is, I am extremely happy with it. I hope it lasts me for many years! And the way it runs, I would guess it will.

IMO, false advertising. I work in an office without computers. My old all in one wasn’t working well anymore, so I decided to get the megatank all in one to avoid toner cartridge costs. Arrives this model and I follow the set up instructions to the letter. Here’s why I’ve requested a return: —No *print* button. That’s right! —No option to scan a document and print 5-10 copies of that document. Not kidding. Each copy has to be scanned every time. Need 10 copies, you’ll need to scan the document 10 times to get that. —No option to feed the documents into the printer. So, if you have a 20 page document to copy, you’ll need to scan each page individually to accomplish the task. —Reduced functionality (due to a lack of buttons, such as.......drumroll please.....*print*, or *number of copies* on the actual “printer”) if one uses it without a computer interface. This is where the false advertising comes into play, IMO. A product which cannot function as an all in one (yet is marketed to both computer users and non-computer users) should be clearly labeled as such. ALL limitations for standard useage (ie no computer interface) must be clearly identified. The photos of the unit fail to clearly show this design issue. The description fails to disclose this. I just bought an “all in one” that cost $280 and can only print one page at a time.....maximum!!!!!! My last, Cannon, all in one functioned the same with or without a computer. Second criticism: cheap construction. The connection for the power cord is so poorly designed, that after being fully inserted into the printer port, it fell out and had to be replaced....twice. IMO, this printer just feels flimsy. Third: while I managed to install ink cartrages B and C during the set up, this was no small feat. They are difficult to install. Carefully, I did manage to get them into their proper place. Conclusion: avoid this printer. I had such high hopes being a Cannon again (all of my printers have been Cannon over the years). I also had high hopes about the functionality due to its status as an “all in one”. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

Très bon produit. Aucun fil pour la connexion de l'imprimante è l'ordinateur, mais aucun connexion wifi ou bluetooth. Sinon superbe qualité d'impression et très long avant de devoir remplir les réservoirs d'encres.

COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THIS PRINTER UNIT...PERFECT FOR HOME USE ESPECIALLY WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDRENS

I bought the g2200 with a few reviews and answers stating that it would support wireless printing. After trying to set it up, I did further research and found that it would not support wireless (see image). This would have been nice to have known beforehand because I already filled with ink, etc., and the 3200 was a similar price.

Great printer for its price point .... happy with my purchase.

The set up for this product did not work, and i have done set up for previous Canon product as well as the set up for the Canon i bought after returning this one. Also misleading...this product indicated it was wifi set up but when received printer there was no wifi. Included paper also indicated wifi but also misleading. I love Canon but this was definitely not my favorite printer and i returned it three weeks ago and still have not received my refund even though a refund was approved.
