Cheap Price for Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Color Photo Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax

Canon is known for creating great quality images, they have developed this reputation over many years of high performance. This little machine does not let you down. We opened up the box and were impressed by the quality of construction, It seems sturdy and well put together. It was heavier than I expected, not overwhelmingly so, just heavier. I like to think it's due to quality components, but perhaps I am kidding myself.

In any event, it was super easy to connect to my PC and start printing. Literally using the quick start guide, we were printing 10 minutes after opening the box. We used the scanner, found that to be very intuitive and the quality of image was good if not great. If you want great and high speed, but a high speed scanner.


I did a lot of research before getting a new printer and wondered if the Canon PIXMA was more than I needed. It's a photo printer, and 90% of my printing is documents. But I'm very glad I went this route. For the 10% of the time I do print photos, this produces images that are worlds better than what I got on my 8-year-old Dell A960 inkjet. I wanted an all-in-one because I scan, copy, print and fax (some printers that call themselves "all-in-one" don't have fax, admittedly a fading technology, but I still need it occasionally). The PIXMA has all that AND wireless capability, which means my wife can print from her netbook without even being on the same floor, let alone in the same room, as the printer. I like that it has 5 color and black ink cartridges so you only have to replace the ones you empty. I also like the sleek look, it's affordable, and it's the smartest printer I've ever owned, in terms of software. The only tiny downside is the learning curve while you get used to all of the PIXMA's capabilities, but once they become second nature, I think you'd be very happy with this printer.

Great tech support. Initially, scanning seemed to be absent with Image Capture or from Mac OS10.6.8 Print & FAX Preferences, but a very helpful ten-minute phone call fixed that and informed me that it is possible to have fast scanning via USB 2 cable and also have wireless Ethernet scanning to multiple devices. Wireless scanning might prove slower for complex scans (photos) but was acceptable to me for text, etc. MX922 cons: Apparently, estimated ink/supply levels are not available from the print dialog during printing or with Mac OS10.6.8 Print & FAX Preferences, although the front panel displays them during printing. One can't easily confirm Canon's reported ink levels because the ink tanks are opaque.
