Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Pixma MP520 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2178B002)
Customer Review: We picked a winner!
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been very happy with this printer.
We've moved from die-hard HP printer groupies to hating Epson to loving Canon as a brand and especially this all-in-one.
It prints fast in both color and greyscale
It copies with a push of a button
It scans and saves it to your computer or prints it if you want.
My only complaint is that if you have it hooked up via a printer switch box, the switch has to be an expensive box that handles true bi-directional communication. I can't scan with my print box even though I can print just fine. I have to plug the cable directly into the PC for the scanning to work. Part of me blames Canon, and another part realizes it's the switch box.
I have my printer hard-wired, so I don't know about wireless.
Ink cartridges are individual color of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Replacements were easy to find in any store, so shop around for the best price. They also have a back-light to let you know if it is truly seated in the slot or if the cartridge isn't aligned correctly.
It was up and running in a snap.
The quality and speed are worth make us love Canon and it will take the deal of the century to get us to consider anything else.
Customer Review: Popping Cartridges
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this printer. The only weird thing is, just a few days after I started using it, one of the cartridges kept popping out of its cradle, so I would get a "ink cartridge not recognizable" error. I called Canon and they promptly sent me another cartridge, saying it was the culprit. A few days after that, the cartridge NEXT to the one I had problems with started doing the same thing. I called Canon again, and they sent me a replacement. That was several weeks ago, and I've had no other problems. It just seems strange to me that that happened. Anyway, other than that, I love the printer.Customer Review: Has its limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good printer...fast, clear print, quiet. It has a good many features. Problem: it does not scan in 3D. This means that any object that has any depth at all, comes out fuzzy. Also, it takes several tries to get the paper you are printing to come out square on the print-out. The machine is tricky in this way.
I found that I get miles of print out of the cartridges, although I have read people complaining about this. You CAN buy knock-off cartridges and use them by transferring the tiny circuit tab from an original cartridges (one comes with the printer).
Customer Review: Canon MP520
Summary: 4 Stars
I selected the Canon Pixma MP 520 Photo All-in-One Inkjet printer based on a recent "Consumers' Report" rating. I use it more for document printing, scanning, and copying than for photo printing. Set-up was quick and easy, and I am pleased with print and copy speeds. Printing and copying in color is impressive! The order process was exceptionally satisfying because Amazon.com offered the best pricing and because of the speed of shipment; the vendor Amazon used for fulfilling the order promised a ship date 10 days from date of purchase and it arrived in two and a half days.Customer Review: Good quality copies for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this printer to replace a 15 year old black and white printer. Wow! This was great. We have done school reports and spreadsheets and it's easy to set up and use. The scanner feature was one thing we really wanted and find the directions on the screen easy to follow.We did have to buy a USB cable which should really come with the product. Loading the ink was easy to follow. We haven't printed any pictures yet but hope to work on that soon. I would buy another canon printer again.
