Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before I even opened the box I said to my husband how much I hated setting up printers. I am tech savvy and find that printer set up is never easy. I find them quirky and there is always something that just doesn't go right. I was fully prepared for this to be a big pain in the neck but I had to get it done. I waited until half time because I knew it was going to take me half the day and I had it set up and printing in ten minutes, to say I was presently surprised is an understatement. It is printing from my computers, it is printing from my phones, it is working from the ipads. I can say that the print doesn't seem quite as dark as it was with my canon pixma (pain in the neck printer) but I will take slightly less quality for the ease of set up and for what I do it doesn't matter so much. I will say that this is not a laser printer and it doesn't have the speed of a laser printer but the photo quality was nice, and the print quality was fine for me. It came with a manual and I could easily access all menus. The scanner menu showed up on my computer without a problem and it did take a few secibds but scanners do have to warm up so I expected that. I do not find this printer to be regressive at all, and for the price it will do everything that the average user wants. I print documents, charts, powerpoints, some images (usually not photos) and templates. I do a great deal of resizing of images and scanning and I have tested all of these features and have had no issues. Personally I don't care about the color of the actual printer and I certainly don't want to pay more for a pretty color.
