Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Installation.....Easy Peasy Comment: This is essentially a 5* review of the installation only. I will post another review in a few weeks once I have had chance to play with the printer a bit more. My new MP600R arrived today. I have spent the previous 2 weeks doing my homework about which printer to get. The main criteria was individual inks but was I really going to need. I decided that I'd take the plunge and spend the extra on wireless. In the end the choice came down to this one or the HP PSC C7280 for the cost/performance trade-off. I decided on the Canon as the resolution was so much better and remarks about the Canon user interface seemed very positive. It was with some trepidation that I embarked on the network setup as some people seem to have had difficulty. I am not an IT expert although I do know my way around computers more than the average layperson. I started by carefully reading the Setup Guide book as recommended by another reviewer - good advice. In the space of 2 hours I have set up one desktop and 3 laptops installing the software application on all machines without any hassle. It seems the main tip is in order to set up the wired or wireless LAN you need to make sure that the PC can "see" the printer. This is done by making sure the USB is connected the first time you're trying to set the printer into the network (repeat for wired and wireless which may be from the same PC even though ultimately the PC you're using to set up the printer will only be used in one of the modes). Once this has been done by one of the PC's all of the others can "see" the printer without [necessarily] having to also connect the USB. To make sure that there was no chance of difficulties I made sure I also used the USB connection to each PC I was installing the SW onto (just in case). At one point I did also turn off the firewall on the PC to make sure that there was no chance that the printer couldn't be seen on the network. I now have a desktop connect via USB, a laptop connected via 10/100 Ethernet wired network and 2 laptops connected via wireless (with SSID and 128bit WEP encryption). All this with no hiccups. Out of the box other peoples' niggles about a French plug were unfounded. There was a UK and a continental plug lead. The little lights on the ink-cartridges - nice :-) is it a gimmic or is it useful? Not sure but at least it looks pretty! After the first couple of test prints I have to say I love what I have seen so far. The paper cassette tray keeps everything neat but the auto doc feeder means that double sided photocopying is do-able (unless you're trying to do masses). I love the built in duplex unit for normal printing and I've set it up as a default option so the kids dont waste so much paper any more. I'll let you know the results of photo printing at a later date. So far so .... brilliant. Customer Rating: Summary: The best printer I have ever used Comment: Just noticed some bad reviews so thought I'd say something from my experience. I purchased and have been using the printer since April 2007. Got it from Pixmania with french plug and Uk adaptor. Used it with three computers using Windows XP and last month changed one computer over to Vista. Networked through Sky Broadband Router. No problems! Setting up the printer is a doddle. Setting up scanner requires a little patience. Cannon support is non-existent but if you approach the task without many pre-conceptions and calmly read the scant information, it does seem to work out fine. Love it to bits! Customer Rating: Summary: NICE FEATURES - if only they'd work properly ... Comment: as with other negative reviews below ... nice printer if it works fine, if it doesn't good luck. have it hooked up to our router & works fine wirelesly for everything but scanning and uploading the scanned image ... can't figure out what the problem is, have downloaded & reloaded drivers & software several times ... worst part of it is the non-existant customer "support" ... gave up after weeks of trying ... would love to give it a great review as hate to think I purchased rubbish, but it is what it is - .... Customer Rating: Summary: A good multi function device with extensive features Comment: I bought this printer before Christmas, mainly to upgrade my aging HP printer and I wanted to take advantage of the wireless capability. Combine that with the DVD/CD printing, automatic double sided printing, dual paper tray and memory card direct printing this is a true multi function device. I setup the print head and ink units first although the manual suggests the loading the PC software first (great idea from Canon to have lights to show the ink unit is properly engaged). An obvious point but make sure you connect the printer to a PC with the supplied USB cable, this is so you can establish settings to then allow it to be wireless! (it isn't wireless on your network until you've done this). Once you have gone through the setup process on the 1st PC the wizard advises you to remove the USB cable and away you go you can print wirelessly! Remember to load the drivers on each PC that you want to use this printer in wireless mode (don't forget to disable any security/access restrictions on your ADSL router/gateway whilst you set the printer up on the 1st PC). After the 1st PC you will need to add a printer on every PC thereafter using the Windows add a printer wizard, this took me ages to sort out but basically you need to know that you need to select the LOCAL printer option and NOT the Network printer option (logically you would think this was a network printer but it isn't, essentially it's a local printer established on a network port). I would have given 5 stars but none of this was in the manual and only my experience of setting printers up got me through this process. Now the setup is done, the printing on photo paper is superb, double sided was a breeze and discovering that I can scan to any of my PC's wirelessly was a true bonus! (use the Canon network tool on the supplied CD). I have been unable to print on a printable DVD yet but I think this is because my NERO software doesn't have the Canon MP600R as a "paper stock". Looking for a way to find other software to do this or Nero to come back to me with a solution. Otherwise a really good buy! Customer Rating: Summary: U150 Error Comment: No good paper weight. U150 error message as a previous user has mentioned regarding 'the following ink tank cannot be recognized' So useless product until Canon sorts put their ink tanks. BEWARE More Reviews
