PIXMA TS7720 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer – Print, Copy, Scan – Auto Duplex, 15/10 PPM, 2.7” Touchscreen, Compact Home Photo Printer with Easy Setup

This TS7720 is a great choice for home printing or home office use. Versatile in it's choices for printed media allowed by its front and rear input sources. Seems a little slow on the startup while it's 'getting ready' to print the first page, but once it's printing it seems to move along at a good pace. The printer is fair to good at printing smaller photos, and is just 'OK' with larger 8X10 size prints. The flat bed scanner has no auto-feed input tray so is typical for a 'single-page-at-a-time' scanner. Scan quality is good enough to scan-in Black and white or color documents and photos. The included software is adequate for home use for both printing and scanning. Just be aware this is not a professional quality photo printer/scanner/copier but is adequate for home use. Can't comment yet on the ink usage as I haven't had it long enough to observe its usage over time. Installation is not as simple as the Canon marketing hype would have you believe. It was not just plug-and-play, at least for my setup and installation, which is wireless with Windows 8.1 and Xfinity router. Unpacking is fairly straightforward, just remove it from the box and take off a couple pieces of orange shipping tape. Then the single page instruction sheet gets you started with setup, loading paper and print cartridges, and a link for downloading the setup software and drivers. I'd recommend downloading the TS7720 user manual first - in my case I needed it. I tried using the 'fully automated' Canon installation/setup but it couldn't find the TS7720. After reading the user manual, and learning how to use the TS7720s touch-screen control panel, I first followed the steps to connect the TS7720 to the router. Selecting my router out of the list of all my neighbors’ routers was easy but keying in my router's password was no easy task on the miniature touch screen control panel. Once I got the TS7720 connected to the router, I restarted the Canon setup software and it found the TS7720. After that, the installation went fairly easy - just follow the steps displayed on your computer screen. I also downloaded and did the setup on my wife’s computer so she has full printer/scanner functionality. The Canon installation/setup software easily ‘found’ the TS7720 since I had already connected the TS7720 to my router. One last observation... The TS7720 default setting is to timeout and shut down (power off) after 240 minutes (4 hours). With that configuration, it shuts down every time it has 4 hours of non-use and you have to manually turn it back on each time before you use it. Very aggravating, especially if the TS7720 is in a different room or different floor of the house. After reading the manual I found the solution. If you open the Printers page on your computer, right click on the TS7720 and chose Preferences. Then click on the Maintenance Tab. Then click on the Maintenances and Preferences button. Then click on the Auto Power button. This brings up the Auto Power Settings. 'Enable' Auto Power On. You can also change the Auto Power Off setting here too, if you want it to time out sooner that the default 4 hours, or not time out at all. Now, any time a computer tries to send something, the TS7720 will turn itself on. Once you make this choice it makes the changes in the TS7720 so from now on, it works for any computer that might be using the TS7720.

Quiet, fast, and great quality print. Set up was easy, to phone and computer. Great price too!

I bought this mainly because I print out garden images (plain paper) for inspiration and (so I've read) Canon is best for pics by far. My old hp printer no longer provided correct colors/crisp images. I need to see the tones of color, crisp images to study why that design works so well and try to ID specific plants and I wanted to upgrade to the best I could afford (no $600 printers for me!) Easy setup they said. Auto reconnect if WIFI is interrupted they said. Still fiddling with this printer. Confused on setting it up. JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO, STEP BY STEP. I don't want a dozen options to download! Do I need that, whatever it is? Hell, I don't know - they aren't explained. Apparently you're just supposed to know. 3/4 of the time, it indicates printer not available at all (muted out of the printer option screen on my phone). Then it may work (takes a couple of minutes to wake up, clatter around, before printing). How to set up your default printing? Good luck figuring that out. Mine still switches automatically to special glossy photo paper, 4x6, despite my changing it each and every time. Nothing in manual on how to change/save defaults. All pics so far are muted in color, hazy. A LOT worse than my old printer! Opted for the Canon Ink program. I got an email I'm enrolled. Am I, really? Not sure because within 3 days of setup, I'm out of ink (the regular cartridges that came with the printer), and no indication I'm being mailed new ink. Yes, this is an ink hog. Or else the over the counter ink cartridges hold very little ink. Normally I'd use a color cartridge every 4 months or so. The good news: prints out black and white text beautifully - crisp. Wish that's what I needed. A waste of my money. Unhappy camper. Update 3 months later: won't connect or print anything. Funny that it stopped working on page 4 of a 5 page job (they printed great, it just stopped). Previously the problems were hit or miss -- different versions of the printer would appear, then disappear. I'm buying another brand, can't handle this aggravation.

This has been a pretty good printer, but not perfect. For the price, it's worth considering. Upside: easy setup, as a network printer or attached by a USB cable. Reasonable print speed, decent quality output. Ink cartridges last a long time. Downside: The first one I had, jammed while printing duplex, and it could not be recovered, even after cleaning the jam and recycling the printer multiple times. As there is no Canon servicer nearby, it wasn't worth the expense to ship it off for repair. Also, as I use it infrequently, about once a week, I have to clean the print heads before trying to print, and, even then, I may have some print defects. I have not used the duplex option on my replacement printer. It's a convenience, but I can live without it.

I love everything about this printer, its a compact machine with big functionality and almost feels like a large office printer got shrunken down in size to fit snugly in your desk. The printer prints quality images and can print a wide variety of applications such as, photos, design patterns, christmas cards etc,. The first test performed was printing an abstract rainbow design that was absolutely filled with color and lots of ink to test for smudging and discoloration, there was none. I am highly confident that if I used a higher grade paper, ( not regular printer paper) that I could achieve some beautiful prints. This printer also comes with a touchscreen that is easy to use and is adjustable to your viewing angle which is awesome if your using it nearest the floor. Now I do have one complaint and that is the ease of setup. Unfortunately you will have to have this printer set up with an app and this process took about an hour due to having to download the app off of the internet per the instructions which was a struggle for me because it was challenging finding an internet download I could trust, even the canon website seemed a bit shady.... after struggling for a while the app suddenly popped up on the computer asking to download which was a relief because I didnt want to choose the wrong download. Not sure why it took so long but maybe if your a person that doesnt like internet downloads either, give it an hour to try and connect itself🤷 That was really the only problem ive had with it and my last project I printed was a full traeger recipe book and it accomplished that without issue so im pretty satisfied overall. Enjoy!

The print quality is fine for home use. No problem connecting to my cell phone by following the instructions given, but it wouldn't connect to my computer (at first). What happened: To connect my computer, I went to the website as instructed by the printer digital screen prompts (nice feature, by the way). I then downloaded the app or software from there, then continued to connect, but it was unsuccessful. INSTEAD, I searched for the "canon smart connect" app in my computer's Microsoft app store. Once I downloaded that, I followed the prompts and had no problem connecting my computer. Not sure why it was different from using the website download, but it worked. It asked me if I wanted to pin the canon app to my task bar, and I said yes. Glad I did because now I can just click on that button and select scan or other things (although I'm sure there are other ways to do the same). After I did a test scan, the scan showed up in the app, and I had the option to save it to my computer from there. Very nice, and seems easy so far. I also love the clarity and simplicity of the digital screen and other buttons on the printer--just on/off, home, back, stop, etc. Straightfoward and easy to understand. Hope this helps.

I searched around quite a bit before choosing this brand/model. I had a few issues setting it up but they all got worked out. It stays connected thru wifi so I can print from any computer in the house. The ink cartridges last and the cost is reasonable for household printing needs. I like the scanner and copy features. I dislike the fact that the scanner powers down after a few hours of non use and you must physically go to it to hit the power button. The rear feed tray seems flimsy and poorly engineered, guide pieces don't lock in place to hold the paper straight. There does not seem to be a "paper setting" for labels there is for photos, card stock, iron transfers and many others. I find this enervating as I use my computer for printing labels for letters and shipping.

I’ve purchased this Canon PIXMA a few times now, first for our old house and now our new house, and it’s been consistently good. Setup is straightforward, the wireless connection works without constant resets, and it prints crisp text as well as colorful photos. The scanner/copier functions are easy to use, and the footprint is compact enough for a home office or dorm. Ink cartridges are reasonably priced for the quality you get, and the app integration makes printing from laptops simple. Each unit I’ve bought has been dependable right out of the box which is why I’ve gone back to this model instead of trying something new. If you want a reliable all-in-one for home or small office, this model is a safe bet.
