Canon is my go to printer!
This is my 2nd of this style Canon. I use if for Genealogy and coupon printing, which is a lot of printing. I love that I can print through my router.

Difficult WiFi Connection.
Had difficulty connecting the printer to my Wi-Fi network (Xfinity router, tri-band w/Wi-Fi 6, mesh). Had to manually connect to the network from the printer and then use Microsoft update to load the Canon driver. The Canon install process never got past error code. It is working now but it took 30 minutes to accomplish a task that normally takes three minutes. Canon install might work great on a different router.

Great Value Printer
Functionality and value for price are a plus with one exception. Having difficulty in connecting printer to Xfinity Wifi for mobile printing, otherwise I would give a 4.5 rating. I have owned hp printers in the past and never experienced problems setting up mobile printing. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. Would recommend.

Worst printer I've ever purchased!
This would not even make a good boat anchor. Awkward to use, impossible to send faxes on (they never go through). Scanned a doc to my iMac, can't find it. I do not have time for this PERIOD.

Best of the Best printer
The TR8620a Canon printer is an excellent purchase. This printer replaces Canons TR8520, and I appreciate the service received from Canon’s technical support.
The features are outstanding with my TR8620a, and recommend CANON’s after service.

Cheap and works.
I bought this to replace my Pixma MX870 which was a beast. Like going from a 1979 Pontiac Bonneville to a Chevrolet Spark. Setup was relatively easy after I finally found my modem password. The copies are clean and look pretty good, of course I'm only doing documents. It's cheaply made like everything else, so I don't expect a long lifespan. Fairly simple to set up. The only real problem is trying to register the stupid thing with Canon. It keeps telling me that the serial number that I'm putting in, is not correct or belongs to a product that is not allowed to be sold in the US. I've checked it and triple checked it. The sticker on the back says serial number. You can't reach these people without first registering your product, so I can't get my warranty in place with them. Kind of frustrating.

Always disconnects from WIFI when you're in a rush...
I replaced my other Canon printer as it constantly lost wifi signal and what do you know...??? Same with this wonderful piece of garbage!

NOT a DUAL-BAND printer. Check your router before purchasing printer
It's a perfectly good printer with two big flaws: it goes through lots of expensive printer ink cartridges - $80-ish to get full set of color cartridge refills! Also, this printer is not wired for Dual Band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz or 5GHz) for stable and reliable connections for wireless printing. If you have a dual-band router there is a workaround: ask your Canon customer service person to talk to you about setting up a workaround - setting up direct wifi between your desktop computer and the printer itself. That's the ONLY way you'll get rock solid wireless printing from your devices (desktop and iPhone, anyway). It's all about the printer which does not have dual-band, and current routers which DO have dual-band.

Only set up for about one week, but seems to be an outstanding all in one printer.

Bargain photo printer
Been using this printer, sporadically, for about one year.
Very good 4X6 glossy photo printer, my primary decision point, at a low price. Fast text printing. Fast enough duplex printing.
No problem connecting to my WiFi or printing from iPhone or iPad. Initially could not print from Chromebook but now printing from Chromebook without issue.
Dislike the cost of Canon ink cartridges but can't argue with photo printing results.
Have never used the fax feature.

Mediocre printer at best. Sadly.
I have bought Canon products since I was a kid. I'm almost 50 now. This is the first product that I am thoroughly disappointed in. I feel completely ripped off.
I bought this printer a week ago. The size is great as it fits well into a home office. That is the only nice thing I'll say about it. As a PIXMA, I had great expectations since it is replacing an older PIXMA which was amazing.
The print quality is ok at best. Good for charts and such. Not excellent for graphics and photos. Color reproduction is hit or miss.
The build quality on the entire printer feels like Lexmark in the early 2000's...flimsy and cheap. The touch screen is a nice feature but the response time when pressed is not immediate.
The auto-document feeder works fine for up to 5 pages even though it's rated for 20 pages. Anything more than 5 pages tends to jam and creates a lot of frustration. Specially, if you are trying to manually duplex your scans. The horizontal feed dimensions are tight so on a 8.5" x 11" document, you don't have much wiggle room on feeding our docs to be scanned which also creates the paper jams in the document feeder.

Nowhere near the quality or ease of use of the still perfectly good MX870; which it replaced only because of the lack of a proper software driver for my new Microsoft 11. I deeply regret that I was persuaded to accept his as a proper relacement for my MX870. I did not specify tha price was to be a factor in my decision to buy.

Canon pixma tr8620a
Great printer but complicated to start printing. It turns off automatically so to print, I have to make sure it's turned on and the face-plate must be lifted.

Nice printer at this price point.
Nice printer at this price point. Days after I paid $199 for it I see it on sale for $149. Text is sharp and crisp even at the medium setting. Colors are true and well saturated. Paper loading is a little quirky. Front cassette has extra cover that has to be removed and replaced. Loading paper in the rear feeder is strange. The "operations panel" has to be fully raised for the printer to work. I consider this to be poor design. I have not used the scan or FAX functions yet.

My Brand New Canon TR8620A
I really like this printer. It looks great in my office, it's easy to use, and the wireless connections were simple. Black and white printing is fast. Color printing looks great.

Solid printer
Seems like a nice printer, haven't used all the functions yet. Was pretty easy to set up but I did struggle a bit. It kept wanting to set it up as a fax/printer and I finally figured out how to change that to just a printer. Some people complained that is shuts off automatically, but if you READ the description it says it does that! And mine didn't shut off until around 4 hours of non-use. If I don't get good scanning results I'll update this review, but as well as it prints I don't think that will be an issue.

This new printer is not as well made as the last Canon I had but hoping it last longer than the other one which went bad after only 18 months :(: (: ((

Printer works well. View screen was essential for me so that I could copy, scan and print easily. Setup was quick and WiFi easy to connect. Mobile print works well. Feeder works great. Very satisfied with this printer
