Beauty and the Beast
Date: March 17, 2010
Pros: durable, easy to use
Cons: Heavy/Bulky, Difficult Setup
This is a very nice package of all-in-one printer capabilities. Solid materials, logical controls, good manuals and excellent tech service. I used the wireless printer function with one using Windows XP and one using Windows 7. The included installation disk was perfect for the XP system. It was completed within 30 minutes. The Windows 7 system installation was a disaster! Tech services advised to uninstall the drivers and software. Even though you are instructed to use the Windows Vista instruction, this will not work. A download from Canon over the internet and 30 minutes of very good Tech Services concluded in a successful completion of installations. They are very weak on this area and should make every effort to correct this problem.
Very satisfied with the quality of printing, speed and features of the MX860.

Nice machine

Pros: Sharp Tones & Colors

This all in one is great but for setting up the wireless link you may need help by someone with computer knowledge more than just an everyday person.

Very Good All In One Printer
Date: March 12, 2010
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint, can not fax directly from an application with mac
Integrates well with Mac OS. Easy wireless setup, and all functions work well. over wireless. Love the duplexer! Only drawback for Mac users is the inability to fax directly from an application. If Canon would only provide this software for Mac users (it does provide this for PC users), the printer would be perfect! It does have a rather large footprint, but it is very well built, and so far has performed flawlessly. Good value for the price. Ink consumption and print speed are not stellar, but well in line with other all-in-one ink jet printers in this price range. Print speed is actually better than most. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Excellent Printer/Copier/Scanner etc.
Date: March 11, 2010
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
After being steered toward this all-in-one by the store tech when we purchased our new computer, we were expecting a good machine, but not one that was so totally excellent!
Every feature we have used so far (we've yet to fax) has worked beautifully. In particular, the scanner on this machine is exquisite. We've scanned tons of old photos into our computer and couldn't be happier with the results.
As a printer & copier, we have absolutely zero complaints and I look forward to many happy years of use.

Flexible Functions
Date: March 8, 2010
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, durable, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use, features
Cons: High Ink Consumption
This all-in-one is full of functionality. Set up was relatively easy. Scans, copies, faxes etc. are all crystal clear and this machine has all the bells and whistles that you would use to manipulate your images. By far my favorite feature of this machine is the automatic document feeder. This feature helps anyone using it to be so much more efficient and I have rarely seen it in a all-in-one at this price point. My only complaint, as with all other ink jet all-in-ones that I have used, is the amount of ink used and the cost of replacement ink.

Great multifunctional printer
Date: March 8, 2010
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint
This is my first purchase of a Cannon printer. So far I am very happy with it. The printer is fast and quiet. Based on other reviews I expected to run into some set up problems but apparently I avoided them by carefully following the set up instructions in the manual. It would have been nice if the commands for getting the printer to do what I wanted it to do were more intutive. Never-the-less I really like this printer and it is a vast improvement over the previous mulitfunctional printer that I owned.

Great Wireless or Wired Printer
Date: March 5, 2010
Pros: Easy Setup, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint
After initial USB setup we now have it turned on to work with our router. Everyone can hit this thing wireless for scanning and printing. I've seen some reviews that say it's hard to setup. I found it challenging but not impossible to do. Take your time follow the directions and it works great!

Great Printer, and Software is Intuitive
Date: March 5, 2010
Pros: Easy Setup, Sharp Tones & Colors, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint, Heavy/Bulky
While I have only had this printer for about a week, it was easy to set up, and the software is simply great. I have it hooked up to two macs, wirelessly, and one of the macs is running windows as well. I have had no problems with any of the computers using this printer over the wireless network. This is the first Canon printer I have owned, but if it performs over time as it has for the last week, I will be hooked on Canon. As an aside, Canon's support over the phone is very good as well. I had a couple of small problems setting up the system, and they knew the answers to my problems immediately. Thanks Canon, for a great product.

Super everything
Date: March 5, 2010
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
This is my third Canon printer, and I have never been disappointed. While some folks think it has a rather large footprint, it fits just nicely in the space previously occupied by it's smaller brother (MP190...lol). It networked so easy once I read the directions (lol). A very quick printer in both B&W and Color copies, and it prints photos with vivid colors and speed. You can't go wrong!

MX 860 and operation
Date: March 5, 2010
Pros: fast print speed
Cons: Difficult Setup
At first this may seem like I'm knocking the machine. Actually I like it very much. The problem was the set up. I bought the MX860 on the applle store recommendation. It took me 14 hours to set up because the disk and install instructions that came with the printer were not compatible with Apple snow leopard. There was a warning to go to the site, but I found the site confusing. After getting with a real person at Apple and Canon the set up went smoothly. No way would I have been able to set it up from just the web site tech support pages. Suggestion to Canon, make sure your printers leave the factory with easy and precise instructions that are accurate.

Top Notch Printer
Date: March 5, 2010
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
We purchased our MX860 approximately 2 months ago to replace anothe all-in-one of another brand. We have been delighted with the MX860's performance. The ink cartridges last longer and are priced more practicable than what we had before. The quality is excellent. It was easy to set up and connect to our computer network. We would gladly recommend the MX860 to friends and family.

Excellent All In One
Date: March 4, 2010
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
I purchased the Canon Pixma MX860 about a month ago and love this printer! Was looking for a photo printer but needed the copier and fax capabilities. Got it all in this printer. Love the wireless function. Can carry my laptop around the house and still print. The picture quality is fantastic and was such a nice surprise. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone who is looking for a wireless printer that is easy to install, a fax machine that is easy to use, a photo printer that you can plug your digital memory cards in to print out photos without downloading them to your computer and get high quality photos from and a scanner. You can't go wrong with this printer. Love everything about it.

Pros: Easy Setup, Sharp Tones & Colors, easy to use
I am what is referred to as a computer dummy. I bought the MX860 to eliminate the clutter on my counter. I found that I could fax, copy, and print on the very first try. The directions were easy to follow. I may still have problems using my computer, but anything I need to do with the MX860 ( copy, print, fax, scan, etc.) I know I can easily get done. This has been the best buy I have made.

Great performance; easy to set up
Date: March 4, 2010
Pros: Easy Setup, durable, Sharp Tones & Colors, easy to use
I have had poor experiences in the past with a competing brand of printers, and decided to get a Canon, because we've had such great results with their cameras. The MX 860 had very easy instructions, was easy to set up, and worked promptly as intended. Print quality is very good, and it's great to have a system both my wife and I can use, via the Wi-Fi wireless system. Outstanding purchase. Yawn.....another great product from Canon.

On time every time
Date: March 4, 2010
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
First off, Canon will always excel as long as there are individual ink tanks. Some of my projects use more of one ink than they do the others, and being able to replace only what I have used is incredibly economical. I have used the print, copy, scan, and fax (both in and out) functions and found this unit's performance to be user friendly and easy to use first time, every time. Even envelopes were no problem. Receiving faxes while I'm away, using the same line for voice and fax… excellent. I'll be back for upgrades.
