Disadvantages:
- First page takes a long time when the unit starts from sleep mode.
- Faxes will not be printed, but received in memory when the unit is manually set in the Sleep mode.
- In addition to the printer and scanner drivers, many more programs are installed, which benefits not obvious to me, and is nowhere explained. On the contrary, Mozilla internet browser crashed regularly, Outlook 2010 (on XP operating system) could not be loaded and the computer hung over again for a few seconds. Since I did not know what programs I should uninstall, I have the Canon programs 'BJMyPrinter' and 'CNSEMAIN' disabled under msconfig. [Start> "Run"> "msconfig" type> "System Start"> Select Canon programs 'BJMyPrinter' and 'CNSEMAIN' Disable]. They are problems gone :)
- Print Settings (eg, paper tray selection, number of copies) are partially overwritten by Windows. This may annoy some but was also the case for (Lexmark Pinnacle 901Pro, Epson WorkForce Pro WP 4535 DWF and Epson AcuLaser CX17WF). Can also be a local problem.
Conclusion:
° Although I no long-term experience have (printer about a week in operation), the whole thing looks quite positive.
