What Canadian Parents are saying…

We tested this in our home for a couple of weeks and loved it. The wireless was a little tricky to figure out but once we got it working we were so glad that we could have ONE printer and the paper supplies in one place. The printer is pretty compact so we found that it sat on our family room computer desk nicely - it also looks nice so it is not an over-sized eye sore! As for printing, it was a little slower than some of our older printers but the trade-off of having one printer is going to make it worth the wait. The LCD screen makes quick photo printing easy and the photos turned our nice too. This is a great little printer, perfect for any family and especially great for anyone who works from home. The scanner and copier and fax make it a one stop shop. We found this little tour of the printer online if you want check it out. – Deliah, Harry & family
