Canon Pixma E477 All-in-One Wireless Ink Efficient Colour Printer (White/Blue)

Printer setup doesn’t work on day 2 of purchase and now I am stuck between manufacturer and seller.

WiFi will not connect , printer cannot be discovered on network, paper keeps jamming even on copying !!
Amazon says go to manufacturer. Manufacturer wants to take to service center. Not worth the head ache at all. If companies don’t stand behind the product they sell, they should not scam people like this.

The printer does the printing, copying and scanning functions well enough as you’d expect. The prints that come out while you use the printers copy function tends to be a little lighter than regular prints though.

But what is horrible with this printer is Canon’s WiFi connectivity feature. The setup process itself is a pain and even if you deal with it thinking it is a one time hassle, it won’t be, since over time, at some point the printer will stop being connected to your pc automatically. Especially, if you print only occasionally and assume the printer will automatically connect when you turn it on, because you’ve already set it up, it will surprise you by not connecting. You’d have to reset the WiFi connection between your printer and PC and setup the connection again. Or choose to connect directly by cable. Feel like I wasted money investing in a WiFi printer since I connect almost exclusively by cable now, not wanting to waste my time often with the flaky WiFi connection.

Cartridges as usual are very expensive and doesn’t give a lot of pages per cartridge. Choose this printer in that regard only if your printing needs are minimal or occasional. Else you are better off with one of those ink tank printers where initial cost might be high, but you don’t have to keep spending on cartridges every so often because they print a lot more per refill.

Pros:
1) The Best / only wifi all in one printer in the range of 5k with ink saver (so called).
2) Low usage required & low maintenance: Thought of buying ink tank but learnt from friends that it’s suitable for heavy printing and when they didn’t use it for a while repairs needed. Hence decided to go for inkjet with low cost maintenance. This doesn’t require daily print like ink tanks.
3) product is solid built and no issues observed so far. Many long term reviews also confirmed flawless working for years so decided this model.
4) Print quality: Black is very good but colour is average. Does the job for kids school project purpose.
5) Easy setup : It’s very easy to setup if you are techy. Setting up WiFi took little bit of time (an hour). I hate reading manuals and it was first time with a printer at home.
6) Wi-Fi printing via mobile is a breeze with Canon Selphy app. Easy photo editor by canon is also quite useful /handy.

Cons:
1) Black is good but Colour is pretty average. Like I said good enough for home /students purpose.
2) Not happy with cartidges supplied by Canon. They seem to fill only half or less for demo purpose. It gave around 100 pages for black and 15-20 pages of color with lowest quality settings (where in they claim 250 Black and 100 color). Both cartidges were almost empty and mobile app started showing the same.
2) Ink cartidges cost & yield: The cost cartridges seems to be increasing (when I was purchasing this it was around 500 for black but now it’s around 600) and I had no faith on the yield based on what I have got with stock cartidges. It’s not worth buying cartidges so go for refill.
3) We only find CL 57S Which is small. Where is Cl 57 (large size) ? Couldn’t find anywhere online.

The product is very bad….
Only one time
Used
Next time its not worked. ….
Waste of time and money
We are not Happy. ….
