Canon PIXMA TR7020a All-in-One Wireless Color Inkjet Printer, with Duplex Printing, Mobile Printing, and Auto Document Feeder, Black, Works with Alexa

This is the 3rd printer in the past 2 weeks I've purchased. The first two were HP. The first HP had a broken scanner. The replacement HP seemed like a nice printer, but the HP Smart app was beyond frustrating. I had used HP printers for years, then recently tried Epson because I liked the ink-tank idea. In comparison to HP & Epson - this Canon meets my needs MUCH BETTER. I will never buy another HP - the invasive HP Smart app with all of it's requirements to be signed into your 'account', and be connected to the internet is bad enough. But the app simply doesn't work, all it does is spin and spin and spin......trying to scan a couple of sheets of paper with HP can take an hour. Epson print heads clog, so if you want to print, you may have to clean the heads twice, and then print the document a couple of times before it's acceptable quality, a waste of paper and time. This Canon printer is so REFRESHING! It quietly and without fuss does exactly what it's supposed to do! Setup was a total breeze, in a few minutes I had the printer drivers and the utility app installed on 2 laptops and a smartphone. The utility app is simple to use, and has the functionality I needed. The print quality looks good. I've not tried the photo printing options yet, but that is a low priority with me. Overall I am thrilled with this new printer!

I recently bought this printer and can confidently say it delivers everything I was hoping for (and more). From setup to daily use, it’s been outstanding. Why it impressed me: Setup was fast and hassle-free. The compact footprint keeps it from dominating my workspace. Print quality is excellent for the money, giving crisp black text and vibrant color photos. It includes duplex printing and an Auto Document Feeder (ADF) for multitasking: great for scanning/copying multi-page documents. Mobile and wireless options are well catered for — WiFi, mobile printing apps, AirPrint/Mopria support, which makes printing from phones/tablets seamless. Where it really stands out: In a mixed home + office environment, I had tasks ranging from photo prints, scanned contracts, daily document prints and it handled them all smoothly — no hiccups, consistent quality, and good speed. A few small things to note (but not deal-breakers): It’s not the fastest printer on the market, so if you’re printing huge batches constantly you might see slower times than a dedicated office machine. It’s still an inkjet, so ongoing ink cost will matter depending on your volume. If you require ultra high speed for heavy office work, there may be faster options — but for most home/SMB uses this is more than enough. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a reliable all-in-one printer that offers great print quality, useful features like an ADF and duplex printing, and modern connectivity — this a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it.

It works fine when it is recognized, but that in there lies the problem. Nearly every time I want to use it with my computer, it says it is offline. I can print from my phone just fine because it is obviously not offline, and I can use the scan function just fine, but printing, nope. At first I tried restarting my computer, which worked but is obnoxious when you are in the midst of work and have a bunch of things open, but then I realized that I can go to the printer settings, and print a test page. That kicks off the original item to be printed and also prints a test page. This is both a waste of time and money (ink and paper). The first time I printed an image, it was muted to all heck. I was like no way this is the way. So I Googled the issue. Now I can't remember how I fixed it, and I am sure I will have to Google it again the next time I want to print an image and actually see the colors. When it does print without issue, the quality is good. It is loud, which I didn't think would bug me because I don't print that often, but it is kind of annoying. Nothing I can't manage though. The scan function takes awhile, but so did my old printer, and this one has a document feeder that my old one did not, and that has been WONDERFUL. The paper tray doesn't pop out automatically, a feature my old printer had, and I miss that because where I have the printer, I don't like to keep the tray out because I fear it will get broken by my wonderful daughter who pays no attention to her surroundings. The software doesn't have Canon in the name, which makes it hard to find if you don't remember that it is IJ blah blah blah. It also looks like it is straight out of the 90s, and just has mediocre functionality. You do need an app to print from your phone. There is a Canon app, but I think the Mopria Print app is the one you want (Android). Basically do not get this printer if you don't have some level of technical acumen or if you don't have admin rights to your computer, and be prepared for having to do some research when things don't go as expected. DISCLAIMER: If you are buying this to use with a work computer to which you do not have administrative rights to create new users, DO NOT get it. This printer requires not just an admin user to install the software but a LOCAL admin user. So calling IT won't get the job done unless they believe you that it needs a local admin user and are willing to create one.

i’ve looked at so many duplex printers; hp, brother, xerox, canon. none of the other ones even came close in price to this one. i usually buy things based on reviews but for printers, i decided to do my own thing. as someone who is tech savvy and have worked with many people who aren’t, i just can’t trust y’all 😅 nothing is wrong with this printer and nothing has gone wrong yet- i print my own inserts for my planner and the one i owned already (an hp) was monochromatic and didn’t duplex. the reviews kept saying this printer doesn’t duplex but it does when it comes to printing and making sure when you’re on your computer that you check the box in the print settings that says ‘print front to back’. i work in PR so i’m used to top notch printers, printing out with speed. this printer is not speedy and some could complain that it’s slow. see the attached video to watch it print one sheet with minimal text, front and back my only complaint is that it turns itself off after a certain amount of time (which might also be a good thing?) but other than that, i find the ink to be fairly inexpensive, it matches my decor, it’s quiet enough, it prints front and back which was the main thing i wanted, and it works with my macbook + bluetooth just fine

I’m satisfied with this printer. It’s easy to set up, the Wi-Fi connection works well, and the print quality is excellent. It prints quickly with sharp text and nice colors. I can print, and copy without any issues, even directly from my phone. It’s compact, quiet, and perfect for everyday use at home or in a small office. Great value for the price. Highly recommended.

I had a previous printer that suddenly stopped taking the paper no matter what I did it just wouldn’t reach down to take the paper in so I had to replace it. I am so glad I did have to replace it because this printer is heads above my previous one even when it was working at its best! Setting it up with my iPhone was a little tricky but I was able to do it with extra steps that they give you if the auto set up doesn’t work. I haven’t set it up with my Mac air yet but I’m sure it will be a breeze. it’s also nice that there is a place in the back of the printer to put photo paper. You don’t have to use the back feeder except for photo paper. The front of the printer has a tray that easily moves out for you to place paper in it and then the catch tray that retrieves what you printed pulls out right above the paper tray. It has a multi page feeder on top for wanting to copy multiple pages, as well as two sided printing and one single page printing if you just lift the top and place the image on the glass. putting the ink in as much easier than my old printer where I had to reach inside the guts. With this printer you just lift the top and you can easily access the printer cartridges. It does come with one color and one black-and-white cartridge but I’m kind of guessing that they’re probably not as full as when you buy a brand new cartridge by itself. But I don’t print very often just the occasional label every now and then so I think I’m going to be fine. I do recommend this printer but not if you have older operating systems only if you have modern ones. I wasn’t able to get it to work with my iMac which is from early 2000. But I have the latest update for the iPhone and I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I can print from there. PS: the image I am attaching is a full letter size printout of a picture that was about 5 x 6 and printed on regular letter paper, not glossy photo paper. It’s a little on the soft side but when you see it in person, it’s good enough to put in a frame and hang on the wall. PPS: I didn’t rate tech-support because I am thinking they mean over the phone tech-support and not just the how-to for setting it up that you can get online. Since I haven’t used one-on-one tech-support, I decided not to rate that. But as far as what’s given to me online, it was very easy to understand and simple to set up.

I have always used HP printers. This is my first Canon. It was an Amazon Black Friday deal and one of their best picks. This printer is a nightmare to set up. It took me almost two hours to figure out how to connect to a network. The network could not find this printer. I'm no tech wizard but I usually get by. I went through three different alternate setup methods before one made the connection. After much frustration I finally got it to print. When I ordered it I new it said wireless. I thought it had wireless capabilities but could still be connected directly to my PC via USB. Silly me. This is wireless only! I've just spent another hour trying to figure out how to scan a document as a PDF and save it to my computer. All my previous printers were just plug in the USB, plug in the power cord, and turn it on. If I can't get all the printer functions to perform efficiently this printer is going to be returned. Update: I was finally able to get everything working the way I want. The setup was much too complicated but once done the printer seems to do a decent job. I guess I'll hang on to it and see what kind of service I get from it. There are some features that I like with this printer but some of the parts seem very cheap. The rear paper loader is very fragile. I probably will use the front tray. I gave it one more star because it works now. :-)
