What were these printers always distinguished the good print quality with respect to P / L in conjunction with low available cartridges. From 2009 to 2014, the printers have always improved, both in terms of technical specifications as well as the quality.
To the printer itself: positive, no longer glossy, it prints reliable, beautiful contrast images (for this price level) but that's it.
Negatives: The printer has apparently been constructed for an evening sporting side activity, otherwise I can not explain this ill-treatment of a structure of a storage compartment. Each sheet is after printing (if you have not yet nachgeholfen) individually pick up from the ground - because you would have the plastic can save on a shelf as well. Compared to the much better predecessor MG5350 printer is unusually loud, even though he has regarding printing speed, quality or other characteristics no advantages. He is only slightly more compact. The Wi-Fi connectivity and stability has not improved in the other.
Note (1): There are new firmware updates that are apparently prevent cheap cartridges are accepted.
Now comes the very negative connotation:
This is my 4th Canon multifunction printer that I use as a second printer for various things.
Purchase data / defect date were as follows:
30.12.2008 - 12.01.2011,
18.01.2011 - 21.01.2013,
23/01/2013 - 28/01/2015
So you have to google only planned obsolescence and know what's going on and the continuous and very consistent because all printer error B200 spat and saw price not appear to have been repaired.
Therefore, I would like to draw attention to this review that this printer will give a high probability directly to guarantee the end of the mind, as all printers listed above were used in different times and all anzeigten with less than 2 weeks after the warranty, the printhead was defective.
Unfortunately, so far I did not have time to more accurately get to the bottom. Will I, however, raise a little time for the MG5350, I update this review.
Conclusion: Thus, one can live with it in 2 years having to buy a new printer, has its routers are near the printer, it is not bad folder to put under the storage compartment, so you do not have to pick up each sheet, the printer is choice which could be drawn if there is no other at this price.
Overall, the printer of me gets 2 stars because of the good P / L. Sorry, this printer probably unintentionally, otherwise we would have resorted almost certainly to the competition.
I would like to end this review of seemingly ecological catastrophe that is produced here with "Canon Signature": "Please consider the environment before printing this email."

Edit: As promised I complete my review in time to questions and problems to be able to answer in advance:
Supplement (1) - Canon Support: Even stubbornness unfortunately brings absolutely nothing at Canon. The problem of the error has gone away from the B200. However, a sobering and me almost conscious little thing I could "squeeze" from the staff. The error B200, which is, as already described very likely occur again immediately after the end of warranty, although an error message would show a defective printhead, according to Canon, this error is much more non-specific and could therefore be anything.
Having friendly and at the same time objectively planned obsolescence with the respective purchase and defect data I was completely ignored and have since appealed no more mail by Canon to get back.
Supplement (2) - error checking by using the Canon Support: Since the phone calls and emails overwrought course and appeared about 10 different assistance in the automated responses I have the printer first "semi-disassembled" - all possible sources of error, which were recommended to me I checked, including expansion of the print head and the cleaning -. However, unfortunately in vain - the error B200 jumps still faster than the printer can respond to what further deepened the suspicion of a counter. So the day is followed by a complete slaughter of the printer and see if something can be found hardware or Softwarespezfisches suggesting a counter.
