The device begins to fail after a few months
3/5

The best course of action is to avoid it! The Canon MG2520 Color Photo Printer is a color photo printer that A few months after I first began using this printer, it fails to print properly. The printers now have four ink cartridges, all of which Is it because there are four of them? Replacing inkjet cartridges costs more than buying a new printer, which comes with the A replacement color plus black ink cartridge costs $35 on average when the printer costs $28! After a few months of using these cartridges I have even refilled them, but the printer still complains. You may find that the program is refusing to work correctly and printing an alignment sheet instead of what you requested. It is a complete pain to use the You can't expect this printer to work for more than a few months when you buy it. You should buy it for a throwaway since it costs $28-$30 While it is still more affordable than the replacement cartridges, it is still less. My mission now is to figure out what to do with the four not eligible candidates It is unequivocally "Not Recommended" to use the Canon MG2520 Pixma series! holidayp1 170324
On June 29, 170629, you will find an updated version of this review in which you will discover that no matter how low the price is, these Canon 2520 (2522) printers are not worthwhile to buy. It's time for Canon to get its act together and stop selling these flawed and useless What a waste of time and money you have put us through with this unreliable printer series.

The ink you use is extremely expensive so you may have to replace it I have updated the printer to say that it still works fine, but the ink is failing
3/5

There has never been a printer that used ink so fast For black and color) you are almost better off buying a new printer every time the ink runs low, which happens a lot. Additionally, we do not do heavy duty printing at this location. The printer I was using before I switched to an HP is no longer available. My experience with this printer has shown me to pay for what you get. I was able to set it up easily No WiFi (which was stated, but I couldn't find The printer is not at fault) and the USB cable is not plugged in. It prints very loudly and very There have been no problems so far.

You will have to be patient if you get paper jammed
3/5

It got stuck in my paper shredder. Despite following all the instructions for clearing the jam, my printer no longer works once the jam has been cleared. As soon as it happened the first time, the rollers couldn't grab the paper any longer to pull it through the printer. In a second occurrence of this error message, I am unable to clear it. There is apparently still a jammed issue with the printer and it Two of my printers--one of which is less than a year old--will not function after following the proper procedures. If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know.

Getting Canon Premium is not cheap
4/5

You must buy the very expensive Canon ink to get it. You can put ink on the device using a sensor that detects the kind of ink. It is cheaper than buying a new printer for the price of one Canon Ink cartridge. Additionally, the paper catch is too short, so the printed paper always flies off the end, so I had to add a sheet of stiff cardboard beneath which was 4 inches longer and fashioned a lip to stop the paper from falling off. Nonetheless, it was a good deal at $30.

I'm happy with how this is going so far
4/5

Over the past few years, my old "4 in 1" HP has been on the verge of dying. In a series of disappearances, the functions stopped working one by one. Until the last function (the printing) not only stopped working, but died out altogether. It takes a while for me to use my printer/scanner at home. I need it when I need it, and I need it when I need The fact that this is a scanner was not even apparent to me until I was trying to locate a printer. As of now, everything is going well. There are some pretty neat features & it's pretty compact It has a simple interface. The online features are pretty much all you need to do the functions, which is a nice change The new one is far less complex than the old one. Having this one as a backup is also a good idea. Although the plastic looks pretty inexpensive on this device, it does feel cheap to me. When you get a hold of it, you will see that it is not heavy duty or high end. In any case, as the other Reviewers have noted already I love how it works! The design is compact. The features are simple and elegant It's such a great feeling to make a purchase like this!.
