Canon imageCLASS MF3010 VP - Wired Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer with Scanner, Copier, USB Cable Included, Up To 2,300 Page Toner Yield in Box, 19 PPM, Black

Nice for basic, one-sided, black printing jobs. I did not even think to read if it could double-side print before I purchased it. I thought that was a standard feature for all printers. This one does not offer a double-sided print option. If I really needed to print on both sides, I could just reinsert the paper in the open tray. Positives for this printer, are that it has a nice print quality, and the printing speed is instantaneous. The setup was easy, too. I connected it to my desktop and it was ready to use. I didn't even need admin to get me through their protective network security layers. Plug and play. There were a lot of additional items in the box, including a CD, presumably for a hard drive set up, if needed. Thevdirections were straight forward. Downsides of this printer are a short receiving arm, and the paper tray is open, instead of enclosed like most printers. The website picture of this printer is a little deceptive because it looks like it is literally box shaped. However, when it is set up, the paper tray extends past the printer itself. The print quality is not superb, but it is perfect for forms, contracts, invoices, and other business type print jobs. I have not used the copy or scan features, so I cannot speak for those.Overall, this is an ideal, very simplistic, black ink, laser printer for the office. As long as you are not expecting grand features, this is a great printer for the price. I also found replacement cartridges for a very reasonable price. One more note: The packaging is very secure. It actually makes the printer look as if it is going to be twice the size that it actually is. Don't fret, it is small and compact, once you finally get it out of the huge box.

This is my initial early revie, and I may later add to it or alter it. Above: The printer atop our rolltop desk.Our PC is Windows 11. We were searching for a multifnction laser printer, at first one that was also wireless. Ink jet was a nonstarter because ink is so costly and because if one does not use the printer a lot, the ik tends to dry out and then the printer won't work. We were very pleaantly surprised to see that this printer inclused a second toner cartridge, A $30+ bonus for free in the box!We wanted wireless because it is nice to be able to place the printer pretty much wherever we wanted to. But wireless would have added a lot to the cost. This printer connects via USB, and as a single computer household, we had no need for a sharable networked printer. But having to place it near our computer ade the printer 's form factor important to us. Fortunately, this printer has a small form factor; even smaller if we keep paper in the desk and keep the paper tray and output shelf closed unless we're using the printer.This printer replaces a Dell wireless laser multifunction printer that had a feeder, which the new Canon printer lacks, but we very, very seldom need to scan more than one page at a time. The Dell printer was one-side print/scan. The Dell printer would only work on slow wireless, and when we went to a 5G T-Moble gateway we had to connect the printer to the gateway using an ethernet cable. Then that stopped working and we had to connect it directly to the PC using a USB cable. Then the Dell printer bit the dust entirely, and tech support and/or repair became too costly or imposssible.Both the old and new printers also handle FAX, but we don't care about that; we never use it. Doctors' offices tend to use FAX, but will give out an e-mail address if pressed, or we can use snail mail if we must.Setup of the Canon printer was not too difficult. The pictures were a bit hard to follow, but common sense led me through. The instructions for downloading the Canon software could not account for changes in the browsers, etc., but again, common sense prevailed. Microsoft then subsumes everything and gives you its own print and scan apps. But Canon presents a special print/scan app library that we'll have to try. But a half hour after the printer arrived in a box to printing a test page and test scanning took about a half hour.I actually found this model first on the Dell web site but dealing with Dell was a nightmare. Its web site twice rejected our perfectly good credit card, and we could not reach a human being who could help. Then I found the same printer on Amazon, not only $1 cheaper, but also with 5% back on our Anazon card and shipping that got it to us in 2 days instead of a week.The next day I used the Canon device to scan a document that I needed to attach to an e-mail. It worked perfectly. I particularly liked the Canon app filing options.

Very happy with this printer. I'm impressed! Not too difficult to assemble. It would have been a lot easier if they hadn't chosen to intersperse languages throughout the manual, making me dizzy, my only real complaint. Just put English in the front. Spanish next, etc...Drivers were pretty easy to install. I found a video on YT that was very helpful, so if you're a newbie to connecting printers to Macs, head to YT for the emotional support video on how to do pretty much everything involved. I didn't use the disk. I just downloaded the driver software from the Canon website. I run macOS Catalina 10.15.7, if that is of help to anybody, and it works perfectly.If you're a newbie, the printer's button functions are located on a quick access card, NOT in the manual. I couldn't find any info on what these buttons were for and what these symbols meant even after reading the manual cover to cover. It wasn't until I noticed the quick access card that I had any idea, so be sure to hunt for that user card.This printer feels a lot sturdier than my HP. Some think it's too large. I find it to be a good, medium-sized printer. Not nearly as noisy as my HP while spitting copies out. Nice clean print. It does print a little lighter than my HP printer, but that doesn't bother me too much. I haven't used the scanner yet. I do wish I could slide the paper tray in without having to remove the paper Not sure how they missed that feature, but I'll find some solution. I am just proud of myself for connecting my very first printer.It comes with an extra ink cartridge which is a nice bonus. I don't think I'll ever go back to an HP unless I need something fancier, and I'm not even sure that would make me switch back. This Canon is fine for my needs.
