Canon PIXMA TR8620a - All-in-One Printer Home Office|Copier|Scanner|Fax|Auto Document Feeder | Photo, Document | Airprint (R), Android, Black, Works with Alexa

I’ve been using the TR8620a for a bit now and, honestly, it’s a decent printer. The setup was straightforward and it hasn't given me any trouble with connectivity or jam-ups yet. The Pros: The print quality is sharp and the speed is excellent for a home office setup. It handles photos and documents equally well. The Build: The only thing worth noting is that the parts do feel a bit "budget." You can tell it’s made of fairly thin, cheap plastic, so it’s probably not a machine you want to be rough with. Overall: It’s working well and gets the job done. If you want high-quality prints and don't mind the lightweight build, it’s a solid choice.

ETA: the printer has been working well. Recently, I had an unusual job requiring the printing of hundreds of pages. It worked flawlessly. Also, it is very easy to refill the ink, which Aoyama is recommended. Do not buy Canon cartridges, a waste of money. Just a few drops of ink will make the cartridges like new. Strongly recommend this printer. Previous review: The only requirement for a printer is just to work - to do its job when needed. This one has been tested for several weeks, not 20 years like one of my previous printers, thus, it is too early to rate. Nevertheless, I hesitated quite a bit because of negative reviews before buying; and this review with "nominal" 5-star is just to allay the fear of someone who might hesitate like me: 1- Setting up isn't that smooth, but it is hard to blame Canon, because the printer has many features, functions, so, smart things are usually a bit complicated. One has to be patient to go through and set it up correctly. Once it is done, with all the Canon software (just basic, not fancy) installed, it will do its job. 2- Printing: since it is new, hard to know when "paper/carriage jams" will occur. I threw away my 3-yr old HP printer because even though it was hardly used, the "paper/carriage jam" problem was beyond tolerable, not to mention misprinting, misaligned on non-common media such as envelopes, checks, labels, etc. Hence, those are the things I tested on this Canon, and so far, with two trays, one cassette for letter-size paper, and one rear feeder for uncommon sizes, the printer works. It works, that was all to be asked of it. How many years (or months) will it work is a different matter. Bottom line, not fancy, but it works so far because it is new. Its print quality is decent for its class of inkjet printers in a similar price range. Photo printing on Canon glossy paper is quite nice looking. I don't have a need for heavy printing, just occasional usages, less than a dozen pages at a time with regular black/color. So far, it is very nice and trouble-free. In particular, I recalled frequent problems with my previous HP inkjet printer when printing thick and odd-size envelopes. This one so far is very reliable. I only hope that it will continue working without HP's classic "paper/carriage jam" troubles. A last note: it is well-known that HP makes money by selling very expensive ink. The rate of ink usage of this printer so far is much better than that of HP. So, if one is considering a low-end full-function, all-in-one printer, I would recommend this over any equivalent HP. I will never buy a HP again.

We are exactly one year in with this printer and it's served us very well as a typical household (not office) printer. The setup was simple and connecting with my home network (using the Canon driver) was straightforward as well. From that point on you have a reliable printer. The driver package also installs scanner software that gives you options for photo and document scanning (the primary difference is where the file is saved (photos or docs) and file type (pdf or jpg). There's a bit of setup for that if desired as you get to choose where files are saved and types but the defaults work well. To connect your computer/laptop to this printer you get a choice wifi or ethernet but (curiously) not both so most will likely go with wifi. That's also how your phone will connect using the Canon app which gets a little cranky sometimes. It may take a minute to connect. Overall, I'm happy with the print quality (I haven't printed photos on photo paper so no judgement there). I've been using a non Epson ink cartridge set with excellent results so don't be afraid of using half price ink. What I'm not happy with: Amount of paper the tray holds. While some printers can seemly swallow most or even all of a ream, this devices will only take about a half inch stack in the main tray which means frequent reloads. Scans and document copies using the auto feeder tend to get progressively more crooked page after page. I've tried cleaning every reachable part of the feeder but no joy, scans using it are always slightly off kilter. Odd disconnects that occasionally produce a "printer offline" message when trying to print or scan. The printer sits literally two feet from my router so it's not a weak wifi signal causing this. Clearing the error means turning the printer off then back on again. The reboot always works and, usually, the print job sent while the printer was "offline" begins printing like nothing happened. Note, this isn't an every day thing but happens often enough to be mildly annoying because it shouldn't happen at all. Would I buy this model again? Yes. And I'd recommend it to others. Just keep in mind you're probably going to spend very little so don't expect the TR8620a to perform like a $300+ device.
