imageCLASS MF273dw - Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer, Multifunction With Scanner, Copier, Auto Document Feeder, With 1 Year Limited Warranty, 30 PPM, Black

Wireless setup was pretty easy if you just follow the prompts on the 3” display the first time it is turned on. Took me a bit of searching on how to change from upper and lower case. (It’s the asterisk on the keypad.) Works great with all my iPads and iPhones. For use on my PCs, I went to the printer menu and let it Find Printers. I clicked on the MF270 series icon and it automatically downloaded the appropriate driver. Couldn’t be easier. Print quality is excellent. It prints multiple pages pretty quickly but just a bit slower for copying. It’s about 14 inches cubed so it’s a bit bulky and heavy, but that’s not a problem for me. The operation isn’t silent when printing but its isn’t excessively noisy either. The print function does two sided printing. It holds about 50 to 75 sheets is my guess which it fine for my family. The multiple sheet copying feature feeder works flawlessly. The control panel rotates upward if needed, making it easier to see and use from a standing position. This multifunction model does not do fax, but I don’t have a landline to connect it to anyway. Replacement generic toner cartridges abound on Amazon. This one is a winner, so I bought a second one to give as a gift.

Great price for a good working printer. It came with toner included so I was able to print right away. I connected it to my laptop with a USB printer cord (not included). Set up was easy by downloading the drivers from the Canon website. The computer came with the drivers on a cd, but I don't have a disk drive anymore. It is similar my 14 year-old printer which no longer is supported, so using this new one was easy. I wish it had a separate paper feeder for envelopes and other sizes, but I can still print those by taking extra steps to select the paper details manually on the control panel. I like that I can scan using the feeder or the flat tray. The control panel is fairly easy to use, but you have to remember to use the arrow keys and OK button to make your selections, as it is not a touch screen control. It is nice looking, but most of all, it makes my home office more professional, as the laser copies are better than inkjet ones. It can print documents double-sided, which helps save paper and space in my file. Also, the laser printer is more cost-effective when it comes to laser toner vs ink-jet ink. Before you make your selection of a printer, make sure it has all the features you want / need.

Good printer, goes a bit crazy about the wifi some times, lost connection or jumped to a different wifi randomly twice so far. Overall it is a good printer, work well, prints well, but not especially fast, toner seems to last a long time (I am not a heavy user, but the trial toner they provide with the unit is still going strong after 500 sheets). It is big, but seems to work well with scanning, copying and printing. To fax you need a phone line (who has that anymore?). You scan then e-fax the document you just need separate software for that. I had an hp printer, but since you have to subscribe to their toner service and pay their toner prices it was not worth it to me as I do not do a lot of printing, thus why I bought a laser printer instead of an inkjet (inkjet would dry out). Overall at the right price this is a good printer (the difference between the 273 and the 270/272 these lack the fax function. To resolve the wifi problem make sure you only log the printer to one wifi network don’t give it options.

I like the product, but tiring to update the firmware at the printer it keeps failing. I've tried it several times. I've even downloaded it to the computer and doesn't install. That would be my biggest problem. Otherwise, it prints great. We'll have to see about the firmware upgrade. Not much help at canon's web site for support. Three stars because of the update and their web site. Update: The printer doesn't scan half the time from the computer or the printer scan function. It does print but that's all I've gotten it to do every time. I've tried connecting direct to the usb and also wifi (which is my preferred way.) Thinking of sending it back before it's too late to do. Update: returned the printer because of the scanning problems and no help from there tech support. I never did get through to them for help. That was one big reason to look for other printers.

We have 6 locations and multiple different types of printers, one by one they fail on me over time, the Canon toner ones are the only one's I haven't had to replace yet over the last few years so these have been my go to. if the model number starts with MF, I'm buying it. Setup is rather easy, my only complaint is that drivers are downloaded from Japan, not a huge deal for most people but as we Geoblock places outside the US it is a pain having to download them over a mobile device.

Trying to think of the last time I received a fax. Must be thirty years since I sent one. But this Canon claims it can do that. As a B&W laser printer, it works just fine, no complaints. As a copier, ditto. Pun intended. My only criticism might be that this thing is huge; measure your space when deciding on a printer. You'll need 25" of vertical clearance on your shelf, about 16" deep and 18" wide. Documentation is minimal beyond a "quick setup" guide, so you'll want to load in the manual from the provided CD. I don't care for the envelope feeder, but it's workable. This Canon replaces an ancient Brother. But I will say that the Brother was built like a tank, compared to the slightly flimsy feeling plastic of the Canon. Nothing wrong with it, I don't suppose, but it doesn't feel as substantial. Also, allow for clearance for the paper in-tray. It projects out from the printer eight inches or so and be sure to put in where nobody is going to bump into it. Because, the tray is pretty lightweight and seems breakable. For the price, this seems to be a good, versatile unit that provides a quality print job, and it runs a lot quicker and quieter than the old Brother. Good as any, better than some, and will not nag you to join a toner subscription program. I don't care for machinery that nags me.

I prefer laser printers because they are usually cheaper to operate in the long run. I had a very basic Brother black & white printer for years. I loved it because it was incredibly cheap to operate and it was durable. This time I decided to pay a little more and get this Canon IMAGE CLASS MF 273dw with many more features than my old Brother printer. This printer is black & white printer that prints, scans and copies. I rarely really need color prints so I prefer b&w printers over more expensive color printers. It has a 150- sheet paper cassette and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder. It also does duplex printing. This printer prints via wired and wireless WiFi network and Bluetooth. It's also ENERGY STAR and EPAT Silver rated. My only complaints about the printer that it doesn't come with a paper manual. You have to download the manual. I know that's standard procedure with tech products but I prefer paper manuals. It's also a little complicated to set up, especially if you don't use the full manual instead of the quick set-up guide. While the set-up can be a little complicated, especially if you haven't set up a new printer recently, Canon's tech support is excellent. I had a problem with my printer not finding my Wi-Fi network automatically and I had problems manually setting it up. The tech support person I talked to was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me the information I needed to manually set up the WI-FI connection and when that didn't work he suggested, politely, that it might not be a problem with the printer. After the call I tried to set up the WI-FI connection again and that time the automatic connection worked immediately. A couple of days later I realized my router was intermittently failing and that had caused my initial set-up problems with my printer. I am very happy with my Canon laser printer. The print quality is excellent, it's inexpensive to operate, and it's easy to operate after the set-up is completed. I'm also impressed with Canon's customer service.

Tried to cable the printer to my desktop computer, just like my old printer, but it absolutely would NOT recognize the printer. Eventually I figured out the wireless instructions and the printer was recognized immediately. This is my second Canon printer. The first one lasted 15 years. Printer quality is very good. Instructions very bad.
