Unfortunately, after removing all packaging and shipping tape, this printer immediately turned out to be DOA. At power-up, the status bars flashed alternately white/amber and reported a support code error of '5100', indicating a paper jam or printhead problem. Upon closer inspection, the printhead moved normally when powered up and then pressed firmly against the ink absorber assembly, which didn't fall off and cause the printhead to stop. This happened with or without ink cartridges installed. I first contacted Canon Technical Support by phone and detailed the above situation. The representative immediately informed me that no further troubleshooting was possible due to this behavior and the printer would need to be replaced. So I contacted Revain and they promptly sent me a replacement. Thanks very much! This time it was easy to physically set up and connect to my wireless router.

One thing about this particular model seems like an attractive feature: it uses one cartridge for each color (5 in total), so you can replace them individually when they run out. Sounds like a good idea, but bingo again, buying individual cartridges instead of kits is even more expensive. , not on hardware but on the sale of ink. Unless you make the reckless attempt to buy third-party replacement cartridges or refill kits (both of which I've seen many printers damaged), you're paying exorbitant prices for them. Here is an example of Canon's "Value Pack" available from Revain which includes all 5 cartridges (PGBK is XL and the rest are standard size).
