imageCLASS LBP122dw - Monochrome Duplex Wireless Laser Printer, Single Function, Home Office, Mobile Ready, 30 PPM, Black

I set the printer up using a USB connection. Printer did not come with the USB cable but I already had one. I downloaded the printer driver from the Cannon web site. Printed a test page with no problems. Printed a spreadsheet in Excel and all worked well. I did not set up as wireless as all the negative reviews were wireless setup problems. If I need to print from my phone I can always froward. I originally purchased a Brother printer which I returned. It was a nightmare to set up and never worked correctly.

Read the negative reviews - they're 100% true. Size The picture and dimensions look like this is a nice, compact footprint. It doesn't reveal that it has a paper drawer that remains open as long as you have paper in it. So, the footprint is actually the size of the paper you have in the drawer. And because the drawer is now always open, you're suseptible to dust. So I load the paper every time I want to print and keep the printer closed. LCD Screen The screen is on the front instead of the top. I laid the device on it's back with the edge off the end of the table for the power cord so I could look down onto the printer in order to read the LCD screen. I also opened the curtains and turned my lights on. Once setup, I laid it flat again. Still, you have to interact with this screen every time you print and for every firemware upgrade. Connection Yes, the instructions suck and mine was actually missing the CD (empty case). I found the best luck was to connect the printer directly to my wi-fi and then locate the printer on my PC on the same network. My PC is directly hard-wired to my router, so not sure if that's why my PC found the printer so easily. I didn't want to connect the printer to my PC via USB since they're more than 6 feet apart. I don't use Apple products nor do I print from my Android. Printing Every single time you print something, the LCD prompts you to select a print drawer. There is only one print drawer. But, you have to scroll down and press okay on the LCD screen for the one and only print drawer before it will print. If there's a firmware upgrade available, it won't print and your job will remain in the queue until you upgrade. Firmware upgrades This is more often than I'd prefer, about as often as your PC receives updates. I've had the printer two months and have had to update the firmware 3 times. This is done through the hard to see LCD screen by scrolling down to Upgrade, pressing OK, and then scrolling one button press at a time to read through the entire agreement (smh). 50-75 or so clicks later, you will be able to proceed. Print quality I gotta say it prints shockingly fast - like 2 seconds. But that means the quality is going to match. Color docs don't translate well, but they are crisp and lightning fast and dry. Toner seems to be priced well, so replacements shouldn't be less than the old inkjet cartridges. Noise Sure, it's noisy, but I kind of expected that for the price. It sounds cheap. Overall "Buy" if you have lots of patience and just want to print text docs at a lower price point. Otherwise, treat yourself and upgrade. I feel like these printers have been sitting around for decades. They're only giving Canon a bad reputation.

Received this printer 2 days ago. Exactly as expected. A non-nonsense. Simple. Laser black&white only printer. Its all I need and want. Replaces a similar Brother where I gave up after endless issues with the toner replacement watchdog. One problem with the Canon was entering WIFI password with lower and upper case text. Finding the lower case option not intuitive. Not mentioned on documentation. Manufacturers website was a tedious, circular search. CD did not work. Download of printer drivers thru google search worked. Printer works. Setup less than easy! Operates flawlessly so far.

This is a review of Canon D1650. Overall, really good. First, the box it comes in is both amazing and diabolical. The top and bottom are only held together by the hand hold flaps. Cut the tape on the top, unfold the top leaves of the inner and outer box, then just pull up the outer upper half and the bottom of the box can be untaped and unfolded. I shudder to think what would happen in transit if the handhold flaps ripped. Chilling! The printer is taped as securely as if a child was given his/her very first roll of tape. There are tape strips everywhere. I mean everywhere! Once you get it all apart. Load the driver DVD onto your pc. I was running Windows 11 Pro for this test of setup. I initially setup for wired ethernet. Later after checking Print, Scan, and Fax, I switched to USB. It was very fussy. It required reloading the driver for Print, fumbling around and restarting. But it worked. I was simply able to change the port settings for FAX and Scan. Some of the lesser known things about this multifunction is that it can fax a document from your pc through a print to fax driver. That and the WiFi, and NFC features are not pointed out with great emphasis. I did not try the WiFi or NFC yet. Will edit this review later if any problems arise. One very common complaint is the touch screen. I loaded the latest firmware, but it still was fussy. First you may not realize there is a plastic sheet with a tab covering the display while in transit. That gets peeled off. But there is another plastic sheet underneath WHICH DOES NOT GET PEELED OFF. It is the daily use protector and is a little billowy. So what I found is the best way to use the screen is to employ a stylus for a tablet/smartphone to make selections. Your finger will still do the best job for swiping up or down to scroll. If you do not want to use a stylus, then use the edge of your fingernail to tap your choices. This may sound silly, but it works. The toner cartridge does not have any tab to flex, nor any protector ribbon to pull out. Do the rotational shake and shove it back in and your ready to print or copy. Copies are good quality. Prints are good quality. Faxes have many high resolution settings you can choose. Scans can be set in a variety of file formats and resolutions. The scan quality is good both on the document feeder and the platen. This multifunction has a legal size platten. Fantastic if you want to scan 8.5 x 14 documents without using a document feeder. The only bother so far is the speaker while the fax is connecting is a little buzzy or hummy. It is not in the phone line. My guess is the audio circuit for the speaker is picking up rfi from the internals or the touch display. It does not sound in the phone line if you pick up an extension and therefore does not affect anything other than my nerves. So far, so good. EDIT: Despite the fact that NFC printing from mobile devices is listed in the manual online and drawings depict an area on the control display for the NFC antenna, there is no such antenna and no such NFC function in the D1650. You can print from mobile in two ways. One is to turn the D1650 into a host and connect your mobile device to it. That will allow printing of documents that are already on the mobile device, but you cannot connect to the internet with the mobile device at the same time. The other way allows you to connect the D1650 to a WiFi access point and then connect to the mobile device using Canon Print app. You cannot fax, but you can print and scan. Note Canon Print Business is phased out and Canon Print is used instread. Also note that this requires that your access point is set to permit WiFi devices to communicate with one another. Also, when in sleep mode, the D1650 fan keeps running. This is not a good solution for longevity of the fan. Since I am in a home environment, I just shut off the D1650 if I know I am not going to use it soon. Another issue is there is a very strong plastic odor that I am hoping will go away. I noticed this because the fan keeps on running. Still an excellent machine, but not without a few flaws. I would still purchase it.

Nice printer. Had a little trouble getting it to get an IP from DHCP. Finally gave up and set ip up static. The printer is nice, good looking, not too bulky. Like the option to add more trays depending on the paper needs. One thing I think Canon could work on is that the LDC display is a little wobbly. It is not as firm at the touch as HP I've worked with.

I cannot believe what incredible pain i* t** a**Is this printer?It is constantly not able to be identified by any device that is supposed to be connected to enter and the screen is so small that I can not read what is on it even when I have a powerful flashlight trained on it. I'm disappointed. It takes a lot of effort every single time I want to print even one page.

Won't let you down. easy install, easy print and scan functions.

Print very fast !

Awesome
