Does A Lot for Its Price and Size,
Over the years I’ve installed many network printers. This is one of Canon’s newest models and it was the easiest yet to install. The PIXMA MX420 also functions as a network sheet-feed or flat-platen scanner, color or black and white photocopy machine and a fax machine all in one low-cost package. I tested its capabilities and they all worked quite well. This device will work just fine when it’s connected to a single computer with a USB cable (not supplied) but what is really handy is being able to share its many functions with everybody on the network.
Although this device will also work with a CAT-5 network connection, my installation was a good test for this device’s Wi-Fi sensitivity. I located this multi-function machine on the second floor and at the opposite end of my home from my wireless router, which is in my cellar. During the set-up process the printer quickly found my Wi-Fi signal. After entering my WEP encryption code into the printer it was ready to be “found” on the network by the installation software. Installing the software and registering the printer on-line went without a hitch.
Unlike Canon’s higher-end models, such as the PIXMA MX882 which uses five separate ink cartridges (three for color and two for black and white), this model uses only two ink cartridges; one for black and white and the other for color. Using Canon brand glossy photo paper this printer delivered excellent, lab-quality photo prints. Prints on other brands of glossy photo paper were disappointing. On plain photocopy paper, text and graphics look very good.
Color prints can also be made directly from compatible cameras and memory cards, simply by plugging them into the appropriate place on the front of the PIXMA MX420 and then using the small LCD color screen to choose what you want to print and how. The scanner works directly with TWAIN compatible applications such as Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint or via the Canon utilities included with this device on the installation disk.
If you ever have a problem, Canon has support people who are in the USA, actually answer the phone and can communicate clearly in the English language. My first-hand experience with Canon’s support people has been very positive. In summary, this device packs multiple capabilities into a single low-cost package that can be accessed by any computer on the network where it’s installed. A step-up to Canon’s PIXMA MX882 for an additional cost of $50 to $60 will add a second software-selectable paper source and separate ink tanks for better photo reproduction on all brands of glossy photo paper.

|Canon Pixma MX420,
Got this today. 2 days from order to my home. Now that’s fast. It takes a while to load drivers on all computers but relatively painless.approx. 20 min each. I have 2 desktops hooked up to my router on the ethernet ports running windows XP. One laptop running Vista and one running Windows 7 connected wirelessly. Having never done this before it took a little longer than someone more familiar with networking, but I feel it was still easy enough to do with the accompanying manual.
The test prints came out nice and crisp and clear. So far I am extremely happy as this is replacing older printers that were causing me to rip my hair out. I couldn’t print from my laptops even if the old printers worked properly. Now all my computers can print to this beautiful machine. Definately happy.
