This thing is a hunk of junk.

I've spent hours this afternoon getting it connected to WiFi and my Android, won't print some documents and others that do print are cut off. Prints incredibly slowly, paper trays are too small so you have to feed only a few pages in at a time (but careful it doesn't suddenly suck ALL the pages in at once and cause a jam), and then spits your printed page out on the desk/floor.

I was fed up with dealing with Officeworks for printing an occasional document and decided to bother with my own printer for basic use.

Could this whole debacle be user error? Yes. But also no.

I had to download an app that is not helpful at all, doesn't let me select some documents to print so I'm really not sure of the point of it at all.

So learn from my life choices - avoid this printer, get something better.

Hiya r/Canon -

After a recent trip to the Atacama desert, I decided it was time to take printing into my own hands. I’ve been disappointed in MPix’s quality for a while, and wanted to bring some color into my home & life.

I’m loving this printer - A3+ is an excellent size, with a mat you end up with a frame of 17x24 or so. It’s extremely easy to use, both the wireless setup and the easy USB connection. Good glass and quality paper also make a huge difference; these are framed with Tru Vue Museum glass, and the paper is Ilford Galerie Metallic Gloss - it almost gives it a 3D look.

Really happy to also say that I’ve paid myself back by selling prints! I’m a teacher, and quite a few families asked for a print - it’s wildly gratifying to know people dig your captures to purchase it.

The two prints are a 5 hour integration of star trails rotating around Polaris near the Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin, and the Eta Carina Nebula - sometimes called “The Crown Jewel of the Southern Night Sky”, imaged from the Atacama desert in Chile.

Printing your own photos is a wonderful “last step” to this process - I highly recommend people who are on the fence about buying a photo printer pull the trigger.
