Horribly slow, runs and runs, not sure what it is doing....never have been able to scan......color ink runs out when I don't even use color so have to purchase color cartridges to print in black and white. Five cartridges....please. I hate this printer.

Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, easy to use, large black ink tank
Cons: in most cases it is good to know computer stuff
you get what you pay for, this is not a high quality photo printer, but it does a decent job with a photo once and a while. I bought it for reliability and it works every time I turn it on and need to print, even from my cell phone.
The scanner works great and I have thrown out so much paper that it made it worth the price.
the second larger black ink tank is a good move

Pros: reliable, fast print speed, easy to use, Easy Setup, Sharp Tones & Colors
This is a good home/small office printer/scanner/copier. I have it hooked up to our wireless network and I have no problem scanning or printing documents from two different laptops. This printer is fast and has good print quality for what I use it for. I do not print photos or photo quality prints but I'm sure with the correct paper and ink this printer would do a good job. So far so good with this printer. I will leave the issue of ink consumption alone. I just replaced the black ink cartridge for the first time after 6 months. I will see how long this cartridge lasts. We don't overuse the printer.

Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Difficult to use, Slow Print Speed, High Ink Consumption, rear tray unavailable for documents
This printer replaced an older Canon multi-function and I couldn't wait to use it. However, I have been very disappointed in it. The print quality on photos is not the stunning "lab-type" I expected, even though I've used several types of photo paper. The ink consumption is enormous. The printer takes an aggravatingly long time to warm up. And the rear document feeder can only be used when printing photos. If you want to print a page of labels, for example, you have to "fool" the printer into thinking you are using photo paper in order to print labels from the rear tray. And this takes an enormous amount of ink. Bottom line - don't buy!

Cons: Dull Tones & Colors, unreliable, Slow Print Speed, High Ink Consumption, doesn't scan w/o cable, pauses between print docts
Don't buy this machine for these reasons: 1. poor print quality--I would not use this to print photos worth keeping; 2. very, very slow printing--it takes a long time to start printing & it pauses between printing documents, which means you have to hover over your computer to turn printer back to print; 3. scanner does not scan via network--needs cable so it's not useful at all. :(

We have this printer on our home network. It works great! We mostly use it for printing receipts and just general use. I printed one 8 by 10 photo on glossy paper so far. You would be hard pressed to tell it from a regular photo. The detail is amazing. We are quite happy with our Pixma 5320!

Don't waste your time and/or money on this product. I purchased it based on a recommendation from Red River Paper (on their website). I tried to print Christmas Cards (7x10) and nowcome to find out that this model does not accept custom paper of this size. Nor does there seem to be any way to work around it.

I recently bought this printer due to needing a printer with a scanner/copier. I had been using someone else's device for a couple of weeks, and wanted one of my own. I have to say that the scanner works great. It is easy to save my files to my computer or straight to my flash drive. the quality of the scanner is much better than the scanner i had previously been using. I also love the feature that allows us to print from our phones and ipad. We are building a house, and it makes it so easy to keep track of all of the paperwork. I would highly recommend buying this printer if you are looking for a great value!!

I purchased this on sale to print DVD's but also use the wireless scan capability. You cannot print to DVD using the WIFI connection, it must be wired to the computer. The printer also has a quirk where you must close the DVD print slot, then open it again to insert the tray. You cannot leave the DVD slot open between print jobs which is quite annoying.

This printer starts to print a sheet of standard paper text and then STOPS.....WAITS with the message "waiting for the previous page to dry". It waits about 8 minutes than attempts to print another sheet and does the same thing again. Takes hours to print a simple document
DON'T BUY

Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use, scanning quality excellent, makes old photos look new
Cons: High Ink Consumption
I bought this product for the quality of scanning old photographs for a photo album sent to a publishing company. My old printer could not do this. When I searched the internet for a printer with with high pixels and quality nothing really came up in the search. So I went to the store and the gentleman at the store was so knowledgeable and showed me the difference of scanning on this Canon compared to others. My pictures sent to the publishing company came out beautiful and when people see the book they ask how did I get the pictures to look so great and I tell them on my Canon Scanner/printer. I recommend this printer for anyone that wants great quality printing, scanning and easy to use. Thanks Canon

I bought this unit expecting the same quality from Canon that I had with my previous printer. While the setup was easy and full size pages looked good, I was really disappointed when printing envelopes. The addresses almost always come out smugged. Most of the time it'll take multiple attemps to get a decent one.

I want to be able to print pics with vibrant colors. My camera produces these colors. The printed pics were outstandingly beautiful. Fast print speed too! I have never had a multifunction , all in one printer work this great! Buy one while you can...WiFi setup was a breeze, as was Apple Air Print. I LOVE THIS PRINTER (and I am tough to please) LOL. It is also very modern looking, just amazing. Canon support is also top notch.

Don't waste your time with this machine! Print colors are awful, dull and with no true color tone. The machine is noisy and is constantly cleaning the print heads which wastes ink and your money! And the ink cartridges are too small and expense to replace. I will be returning my machine today and will look elsewhere for a better quality printer/scanner.

I bought the MG5320 based upon great reviews .. big mistake. I have never had so much trouble in setting up and using a computer (have had 4 previously). I have spent/wasted hours trying to get it to operate satisfactorily .. there are no written instructions .. just online stuff that never seems to fit my problem. All I want to do is print some stuff .. and can't even find a print setting for documents. And, for example, the "print spooler" (whatever that is) is never turned on and I have to find it and turn it on.
