Digital camera reviews of Canon Pixma MX850 Office All-In-One Inkjet Printer (2436B002)
Digital camera Review: Cannon MX850
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, this printer is great. Tops anything HP could ever come up with. This printer was easy to install. I like the extra paper trays. The ink cartridges are reasonably priced. Only time will tell if this printer lives up to the hype. I am betting it will.Digital camera Review: Cannon Pixma MX850

This machine was so easy to hook up. Perfect and easy to get reports for faxes. Have not yet prices ink cartiliges but I love it....Digital camera Review: Cannon Pixma MX850

Printer and copier work fine--I have not tried the fax yet. The black ink cartridge is not as "black" as in my old printer--the only draw-back I see so far.Digital camera Review: Canon MX 850 - what a disappointing product
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe Canon put out this product. I previously owned an MP780 and printed probably close to 30K pages over 4 years before it wore out. It sure didn't owe me anything. Hence I bought the follow-on MX850. How could I go wrong? A little more speed, maybe an extra improvement here and there. Well, how wrong I was. For starters, they made a major "upgrade" to the user interface, way over-complicating it. Simple custom settings in the scanning in particular are very difficult to use, and to sequence through a basic scan now takes probably 3 - 4x the "clicks", screens, and time. If there is anywhere I can reconfigure the default settings to avoid this, I can't find it in the screens in their poor documentation.
The real kicker was the fax setup. I have a dual number line, with double ring on one of the numbers which is the fax line. The MP780 would switch on the fax machine on one ring, and over 4 years, never once missed an incoming fax. The MX850 setting minimum is two rings (WHY is one ring no longer available?), and it NEVER answers on two rings. It usually takes four. That means that I have to set the forwarding to my cell phone delay (which acts on both lines, can't get around that) to about 25 seconds, and sometimes faxes still forward to my cell because this machine ignores them. Plus it is unacceptable for my clients/prospective clients to sit there while the phone rings for 30 seconds while it forwards to my cell. I'll bet I lose business due to this. When I got Canon tech support on the line, we went round and round, with them blaming the voltage on my phone line as being the problem. When I asked them, "OK then how come YOUR previous MP780 product never missed receiving a fax on one ring over four years?" They couldn't answer that. The MX850 is a poor product with poor tech support. I am shocked that a product like this comes from Canon. I certainly DON'T recommend it. The MP780 was a great product, they should know "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." They fixed it alright, and not for the better.
Digital camera Review: Canon MX 850 --Seems like a good printer
Summary: 4 Stars
I've only had the printer for a month or so, but I like it alot. Easier to use than my last Canon, the Pixma 780. Hope it holds up better than the other one did.
