Canon MAXIFY GX4050 Printer for Home/Office Use - Colour Printers & Scanners All-in-One Wireless | MegaTank Inkjet Printer, Copier, Scanner & Fax | WiFi, Ethernet & USB Connectivity A4 Printer

After getting another brand and it locking due to maintenance box being full after 3 months I realised I needed something better. I like the tank versions and an older version or the gx4050 kept coming up. I got this one when I noticed the cashback offer as it made it under £250 once I received my cashback. It prints beautifully. It isn't the fastest but it doesn't complain. The ink feels expensive but lasts a long time. You can replace the maintenance pad yourself so don't have to worry about it locking you out. I'd say it's great for home use it you're printing 20+ pages a week. I haven't used the scanner. I like that it has front feed, rear feed and flat feed

I can’t believe how far we’ve come when things just work out of the box with minimal set up. I mean you don’t need a degree in computer science. My old Mac Pro won’t run the software to use this printer?! What they don’t explain is once the printer is connected to your WiFi and your iPhone and Mac Pro are also on the same WiFi it just works, fantastic. The ink fills with no mess. Have patience and the printer does it all for you. It also scans from my Mac Pro over WiFi. I’ve not got to drills with the document feeder yet. Why did l buy Canon and what is an expensive printers? Because my last canon that died, was close on 20 years old and l used it for my business printing dvd’s Pity the new printer won’t do that, but things move on.

Great for my small home office use. I had issues when first recieved it and did the deep clean from the menu. Solved but then it stopped printing 1 of the colours. I called up Canon amd they talked me through the menu options to flush through the printer head and said that this has happened as the seller must have had it sitting on the shelf for a long time. All maintenance can be done by the actual printer itself though which is great and flushing through the colours solved my issue. Canon customer support were great 👍

Great printer scanner. Good quality prints and scans. Set up quick and easy. Double sided printing and scanning possible. Only gripe is a rather complicated user manual.

In my opinion this machine is an UTTER, TOTAL, ONE MILLION PERCENT nightmare. No instructions provided, apart from telling you basic things in half of the world's languages. Not even a few sheets telling you about basic set up routine. I know the set up with a fairly complex(!) machine will take time, including printer head alignment....but to resolve the initial set and to try to get it operating, took me nearly five hours. Wifi set up, as someone else wrote in the one star reviews is dodgy, and as mine failed to connect it gave a lot of numerous options..so you had better be tech savvy with your router and internet connection. How did i get mine connected...heavenly intervention...as i have no idea. Then i had a constant error message of paper mismatch...it said letter size, despite me continually changing to A4. After much investigation i discovered that default message has to be overwritten! Then i got error message 2110...by this time and so many hours later, trauma was setting in. I could not get rid of it...and what was worse, was that the manual said if this message persists, consult you local Canon workshop for repairs. Somehow i did get rid of it...but by now i was delirious. I cannot fathom out the 3 printer trays...how do you select which one? I cannot find that in the manual..oh yes, it tells you how to load the stuff, but not how to select. The front load seems to be ok for plain paper, but jams every time with photo paper. The top load works for photo paper, but error messages appear saying there is no paper (i keep the front tray empty, in the hope that the software will identify the cassette which is loaded)...if the front tray has plain paper, then you will get your photo printed on ordinary paper. Days after all of this, i just pray every time i switch on the machine that it will just print and not cause more hassle.....that is not the way any printer should be. When it does print, quality looks good. They say the ink may last three years which is great...but be prepared to add on another three years resolving problems.

Delighted with this printer. Easy to set up and connect to wi fi. Very happy with purchase ... even happier as it was "used", though dont know how, and was greatly reduced.

Super printer. We had a new Epson eco tank and it had massive firmware and WiFi connection issues. This printer seems solid I can print direct from apps like eBay. The WiFi signal is also very good. It lives in a cupboard and I can print from downstairs with the doors closed. Really happy definitely worth paying a little more for the machine. I also like the quality of the screen and buttons. To have both is much better. It’s also doing live firmware updates when it chooses I don’t have to prompt it. Over all I would highly recommend.

Excellent printer/scanner. I wanted something with Ethernet as scanning over WiFi is often quite a bit slower. I also run Linux so this one had the right Debian etc. drivers although driver-less printing via CUPS is supported anyway. My only gripe is that the Canon IJ scanning software is not as comprehensive as it was for my previous Canon printer (MG6150). Having said that, very pleased overall so far.
