    When I bought this printer I thought I'm taking risk but by using it for a while I observe this is an Excellent Printer what I really need. I print my work so quickly I can't believe it. I use it for scanning my documents. I make photo copies many times it works perfect. I used to spent $30 for the other printer cartridges like every month. But this printer gives me a little break I print about 500 pages already and still printing. Before it run out of toner I find it for $25. which is very good price as compare to other litter printers. I can happily recommend this printer to any one. Some of the Technical things Flat Bed Scanner : Easily scan any doc or photo. Multiple options of image file selection like document or photo etc and Pic in Grey or Color for scan. Tilt Display. Two ways to insert paper. single sheet or hand feed tray.I used it when I have photo copy for both sides. Auto feed tray. USB CONNECT. ENERGY SAVOR.

    Canon MF212w -- good printer

    Setup was a breeze, after removing all the plastic and some plastic tabs to hold the cartridge from moving or falling off. After power on first sheet prints many times fast, but I'm noticing when it is not ready yet it doesn't print, noticed this especially when printing from iPad. Print quality is fine, acceptable for most home office use. I did scan photos to iPhone using Canon M scanning app, it scanned in 300dpi I think, not sure if 600dpi would have shown difference. I can live with lower resolution. My setup currently wireless, it wasn't very intuitive interface to enter SSID etc., but only once required. The power button is great, I have been turning it off during night. Overall I'm satisfied, hopefully the starter cartridge lasts for occasional use and I can find replacement for a good price.

    Bought this for my mom and had it set up on her MacBook Pro and iPhone in about 30mins. I originally wanted to get her a Brother but the price was just too good to pass up for all it had to offer. It's fairly quiet and prints fast. Aftermarket toners are 1/4 the price and I'm pretty sure this toner is the same as the HP CE285A when looking for Remans. The main difference is the yield per page on the 131 being greater than that on the 85a. So far we've had zero issues using this with OS X.

    Tired of replacing ink cartridges in my old Lexmark, I went shopping at Best Buy for a reasonably priced home laser. Wireless and a scan capability were essential. I could not be happier with this Canon. It's first print is exceptionally fast, and the print quality is excellent. Yield is supposed to be good, but we'll have to see.

    After researching I decided on this printer and I'm very glad I did. It was very easy to set up and I've printed wirelessly from my desktop, laptop, iPad and iPod touch. I like how the printer goes into energy saving mode when not in use but always wakes right up and prints when I send something to it. Very pleased w this Cannon laser printer.

    I researched this printer a great deal and it happened to be on sale on the day I decided to purchase it. I purchased this printer to replace a costly ink hog canon mp830. I liked the reliability of the canon brand but wanted to move away from anything inkjet and already own a color laser jet for color. I needed the MF212 for the quick scanning a quick black and white printing.....I kinda wished I had purchased the MF216 for the document feeder function, but the MF212 is more simplistic with less moving parts to need replacing vs. the MF212. This thing is quick both with scanning and printing...I'm very happy with the value, quality, performance and price I paid.

    I love this printer, works as advertised. I can wireless send my print jobs to it. The wireless scanner needs a little more setup (and so I can't give 5 stars for this), so that would be my only complaint. Works great, great price. I would recommend this!

    Great utilitarian laser black & white printer/copier/scanner. Didn't need fax feature and wanted to avoid color inkjet, so this is perfect for my home/home business use. Really appreciating the wireless printing from cellphone and tablet, too. Extremely happy!

    It's fast, the quality of print works great for our office use. If I had to provide any critique, it would be that the printer is pretty noisy. It isn't an issue in the office, but at home, it may bother me. Not sure.... I'd buy it again for sure.

    Excellent print quality. Setup was quick.Scanning and copying functions are easy to use. The OEM toner is kind of expensive but reasonably priced generic toner is available although I am still using the original cartridge..

    Great printer, does it all in monochrome. Prints, scans, and faxes. Prints and scans are excellent quality. Make sure to use the CD to upload drivers to your computer--doing this online got drivers for printing, but you need the "toolbox" to scan. This is a good value for the price.

    Needed a printer for my occasional use. (I don't need color and don't print photos.) This one is perfect. Installed easy ( took about 10 minutes to get the software installed and the IP address loaded into the printer) and it does exactly what I need. The occasional coupon or paper printed. No ink to dry so I'm very pleased.

    This is the third Canon printer I've purchased, been happy all three times. Best Buy had a great price on a quality product and I pulled the trigger. Love the fact that this printer is wireless. Pretty easy setup.

    This is my first laser printer. I had some trouble with it initially, getting it to pick up the wireless contact from my apple computer but that worked itself out. It's fast. Copies, printing...doing a good job.

    Tired of ink jet printers

    I was tired of always buying expensive ink for my old printer. Even when yellow was empty and I was trying to print black and white it wouldn't let me. I decided a laser printer was the way to go. I rarely need color so this is the perfect printer for me. It copies, scans and prints all wireless. It will print strait from my iPhone or Mac without any additional apps or settings. It prints fast, clean and quiet. I haven't replaced the ink yet and i've made several hundred copies and prints. For the $90 I paid for this printer I couldn't be happier.
