## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Bought this as I needed a workhorse - 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
Review: This printer almost sets itself up!! - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely Printer
*by D***C on 20 May 2024*

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 👍
