Canon PIXMA TS5150 Series - All-in-One Printers for Home Use | Wireless for Easy Printing From Your Smartphone Printer Home Printers

Well packaged ,I'm one of those usually that easy set up means anything but.This was the exception to the rules followed the quick set up guide got to the part to download software to my laptop guided through that then without entering WiFi details in the printer the software downloaded to my laptop did it for me.Connected straight to printer ,hey prestoJust as easy in my Google pixel phone download the app suggested in the set up guide printed first time.My wife's I phone 16 pro max was even easier it just does it all open the app to use select what you want to print it was Initially printing double sided from the I phone but I figured that out ok.I'm very pleased got a discount on purchase ,it's a bit of a unit I'd check the dimensions before purchasing the power lead also isn't that long.But overall I'm over the moon.

When my well used Canon Pixma finally died I looked for a new printer. My requirements had changed - I no longer need 6 separate inks and a slide scanner - so I looked for something more basic.This TS5150 is certainly fairly basic. I'm trying to use it more often, because my old printer had issues due to infrequent use. The print quality is perfectly acceptable and although I won't be printing photos, the one I tried was fine as well. The main thing I wanted was the ability to connect with USB as well as Wifi - this has that connection.Having to lift the front cover right up is an irritation, it tells you off and won't do anything if you don't have it in the right position. The paper tray holds very little - but I'm only using it for the odd thing that needs printing so I don't mind that. I've got it set on 'quiet mode' - the actual printing is fairly quiet, the amount of chuntering and whirring that goes on each time before it prints is more irritating.Having set up loads of printers over the years I found this one surprisingly awkward. The instructions weren't particularly helpful and my Windows 11 laptop didn't see it as a plug and play item.I'm very happy with the quality of scans. It's a shame it doesn't use the same software as my old Canon, although I kept the program it isn't compatible with the new printer/scanner.It's a cheap printer, which does a good job if you want something for occasional printing. If you do a lot of printing then I would spend more and get something with more paper capacity.

My old printer was a HP. I bought the. Correct ink but the printer always said on the settings that the ink was third party and would show the ink as being full.I decided to buy a new one and after some time of searching I de useful to buy this one. I was pleasantly suprised.The price was discounted to a reasonable price. I carried out a print test on 6 pieces of on A4. I expected that it would print out all on 6 pieces es of printer paper, but it didn’t. To my surprise it printed all of the info on only 3. I watched snd the paper printed on one side the printed it out on the back. I was really pleased because it reduced the amount of paper. I’m sure that could be changed to print on the 6 pieces of paper, but I’m really pleased with the results so far.The cost of the printer was better than buying it directly t from the usual shops, and with next day delivery on Amazon it was a no brainier.I very happy with the new printer and definately recommend this printer.

A good machine,which works wellfor my needs.

Update after several months of ownership - do not under any circumstances buy this printer.If you go ahead and buy this printer after reading this review, I'm sorry but you only have yourself to blame. I only awarded it one star because Amazon will not let you award 0 or a minus score.It is the most frustrating poorly designed piece of technology I have ever experienced. It will not print on any type of paper I have found without jamming, needing several manual resets, ages spent fishing around in its innards to remove jams, and half-printed pages spat onto the floor (because, as discussed later, why would you supply a paper tray).In 35 years of computer experience I've seldom known a printer more prone to jamming and/or feeding multiple sheets. When it does jam, it seems to have no idea where the blockage is - the LCD panel suggests an area entirely at random, and you just have to go hunting, opening the multiple doors and flaps until you strike lucky.Part of the problem is the very flimsy paper tray, which takes about half the amount of paper the design and guide tabs suggests it will. Overfill the tray (that's about half way up) and you're playing print job roulette: will it jam straight away, misfeed page 7 of 10, or print page 9 across half of two sheets? After the latest refill or jam you then have to navigate the front panel to pointlessly 'register' the paper tray, presumably because the firmware designers couldn't get that working in time so put the burden on the user instead.The design, if you can call it that, also spits the printed sheets out into thin air rather than any form of tray, so good luck if you take your eye off of it for a second and expect your printout to be in order in the same place when you get back.The printer is easy to set up on Android and Chromebook devices for remote printing. But... there's no proper standby function, so you have to go to the printer to turn it on to accept jobs before you can print remotely, which entirely defeats the whole object.And why does the front panel need to be hinged upwards to print? It doesn't block the paper path when down, and the up position makes the front panel controls harder to use. Another utter failure in the Canon design department, whose UX team should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.This printer will drive you absolutely mad and probably end up being hurled through the nearest window.I've not done that yet but have been sorely tempted. Write things out by hand, give up computer technology altogether and go and live in a cave, or maybe buy another model and brand of printer, but do not buy this printer.Do not even consider it.Please.

As described

The manual is disgusting. It’s so difficult to read or to understand how to get it together. Why did I not buy another HP? At least you can read the instructions if I hadn’t of got an engineer nephew visiting never in 1 million years? Could I have put this thing together Awful
