Reviews around size (4.12 of 5)

  • A bit large size-wise compared to an Epson printer I last had, but does the job it's suppose to do with no fuss
  • The good: Small, compact size fit the requirements for the location where I was intending to use it
  • Easy to install Not so small, my old HP printer/scanner/fax was half the size
  • only an OK buy not a great buy and when it breaks I’ll definitely be buying a different printer
  • The printer is a great size (it fits perfectly on my printer cart) and I do like that I can scan and print

Reviews around value (4.00 of 5)

  • Teally frustrating as it will not print wirelessly from a Windows 10 laptop
  • But for the price and for my intended use, the MX492 is a very good value.

Reviews around copy (3.95 of 5)

  • I took the dick option setup opposed to the download and all I did was follow the prompts, works great, clean crisp copies, for ONLY $45.00 AND the ink is included, black and color!!
  • it’s great, prints clear copies and the ink doesn’t run, however when printing something with a lot of color let it cool down before touching because you can smear it and get ink on your hands
  • It turns on quickly, is not noisy, prints quickly, hasn't gone off-line yet, and copies are clear and crisp.
  • It makes very clear copies, and the wireless set up was simple
  • This printer is Rinky-Dink, Cheap-o, Cheesy, with ChinesEnglish directions

Reviews around deal (3.86 of 5)

  • It's also a bit louder than our last printer (Brother), but not a big deal.
  • I need a flashlight to read the LCD screen, but for the price it's a great deal.
  • $50 is a great deal on a printer but not when it only lasts a few months
  • Ink is high priced and it doesn’t hold a great deal of paper
  • Teally frustrating as it will not print wirelessly from a Windows 10 laptop

Reviews around color (3.84 of 5)

  • I love this printer a little noisy but the functions are wonderful and the color is great
  • Color is good, prints faster than expected, carts have lasted well so far.
  • The scanner works great as does the color, easy to insert and extract the ink and paper
  • , it's perfect for documents, but if you're looking to scan higher definition items like vibrant pictures, you'll probably notice it falling flat color-wise
  • However, it prints well and reproduces electronic photos with remarkable color and clarity

Reviews around thing (2.02 of 5)

  • I just did a direct connection between my printer and tablet using the Canon app (no WiFi) and it was the easiest thing ever
  • After having the printer setup for over a week now and the first few prints being successful, the paper jams have begun... and with the paper jams, my print alignment is screwed... and with my print alignment being screwed, I honestly thing this thing somehow ruined one of my printer cartridges.
  • This printer drinks ink like crazy and toners aren’t a cheap thing at all
  • Literally the second thing I tried to test print, it jammed and then refused to acknowledge paper in the tray, rendering it JUNK
  • This printer isn't necessarily a waste of time, but it's not my favorite thing to use.

  • Turned on and off a few times to clear the error but always comes up the same
  • Gives stupid errors indicating there are paper jams when there aren't.

Reviews around doe (1.75 of 5)

  • Here is the good (which does not in my mind outweigh the bad):A) the copy function is very good and clear - (although it is good only a4 and ltr)B) the driver and app is very good (to MacOS High Sierra)C) very lightweight - easy to change location (even up the stairs)
  • The printer is quite easy to use however, it does make more noise than what I had expected.
  • This printer is Rinky-Dink, Cheap-o, Cheesy, with ChinesEnglish directions
  • The worst part of this printer is that it does not make it easy to load the paper--either it's too far inside or not far enough--and it jams if you do it wrong
  • Only problem is that whenever Windows does an update, all the drivers are lost
