Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I knew nothing of Vista, let alone 64-bit architecture, when upgrading to the HP Pavilion. When my Sharp duplex laser wouldn't work, Sharp informed me about the 64-bit situation and said it would not be upgrading drivers for the tabletop models (but they'd sell me this lovely $3,000 business copier). Thus began Printer Trek.
Thanks to Amazon customer reviews, I discovered this Canon model was the ONLY monochrome laser that worked with Vista 64 (at the time of purchase) AND met my most important need: DUPLEX COPYING. The printer performs well with card stock, labels and normal 20 lb printer paper. Produces clear, dark text and good black and white photo reproduction.
Pros:
1) WORKS WITH VISTA 64 out of the box;
2) Duplexing [2-sided copying]. Had to call Canon for help initially, but no problems since then;
3) Muti-function;
4) Clear photo reproduction;
5) One cartridge replacement--no messing with toner AND drum.
Cons:
1) Cartridge service cycle is only 3,000 pages, far less than my 5,000 page Sharp, so if you're a heavy printer/copier user, you may want to search for a different machine. We use the Sharp strictly for copying;
2) The duplexing function has not worked in Web apps. Canon said its probably a program problem. I have that awful Home suite with Works, etc. I cut and paste to a document if I need 2 sided copies;
3) Working with scanned documents/photos is difficult. Have yet to figure it out.
The Amazon price was exceptional, in addition to no tax and free shipping. Canon wouldn't make any concessions to match or beat Amazon's price or free shipping to make a sale. Oh,well--Canon's loss!
With the exception of the above negative aspects, this printer is almost perfect. I'm satisfied and relieved that Vista 64 has yet to defeat me. Thanks, Amazon customers, for your helpul reviews!
Customer Review: Simple and sophisticated; a must for every busy family or home office!

I bought this as a replacement for a Samsung multifunction printer. Our laser Samsung unfortunately did not integrate with our computer(s) seamlessly and Samsung support for that model was nonexistent.
I have to declare I *LOVE* this printer. The ink lasts a very long time and the options for this price are amazing. From reducing/enlarging, 2 on 1, it is fabulous. The feature that sold it for me was the double-sided copy/scan function (duplex). That is/was impossible to find at this price point. Also, the buttons are self-explanatory so that my children use this without needing my help. I am also pleased by the scanner/paper feeder in terms of the motor speed. I no longer feel like I'm waiting on the machine to feed papers through; instead I am scrambling to keep up with the machine. The resolution is as good as any other laser printer I have seen, unless you are in the market for a Tektronix.
I purchased my refurbished Canon MF4150 about a year ago, so I can tell you that I know this machine well and I highly recommend it. It is durable, dependable, and affordable to maintain. The only feature this is missing is built-in wireless networking. I've used several different multifunction printers over the years in my home office; this one is my favorite so far.
Customer Review: Great little all-in-one... So far
Summary: 5 Stars
So far this all-in-one printer has been great. It's met our expectations so far as we continue to learn all of it's bells and whistles. If you have a home office that doesn't require large amounts of printing, copying or faxing everyday then this will probably suit your needs just fine.Customer Review: Pleased with Canon
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Canon MF4150 in December 2007 and I must say, I have been pleased with it. I use my printer conservatively for home printing. I've been pleased with the output quality, except there was a time when I may get a light 1/4" line down the middle of a duplexed page. Somehow, it went away. Still duplexing is a great feature. I'm commenting today because of the price that they are offering this printer for. I paid $199.99 when I bought it. And I see that they have a newer version. I'd check that out. I did not like the scan and OCR software that came with it; I use software now that makes it more usable for me. Additionally, I suggest that you look for a MFP that also has network printing capabilities - more flexibility (i.e., value) for the long run.Customer Review: Great all-in-one product
Summary: 5 Stars
Great all-in-one product, easy to install and use. First Laser cartridge doesnt last too long, but a refil at cartridge world lasts forever
