CanonGX6021 All-in-One Wireless Supertank Printer-for Businesses [Print, Copy, Scan and ADF], White

Bought this to replace an old Epson all-in-one that still worked well but shut done unexpectedly when it said the waste ink pads were full. You can buy the parts but then need a code from Epson to reset. I actually got a code (only works with Windows) but it still insisted I bring it in for authorized service. Obviously no more Epson products in my home!There are fewer ink tank printers out there than regular cartridge printers, but it is well worth the cost and effort to find an ink tank printer such as this. Instead of 12 - 30 ml of ink in a typical cartridge (of which some is always wasted), you get 132 ml of each color and 167 ml black ink included with the printer. You can also see the ink level and can refill whenever you want, so no more frantic late night trips to Staples when you have a report due the next day.Setup is easier than it sounds. My computers and printer are all connected via wifi and each computer connects on its own to the printer. You initially fill the 4 ink tanks (bottles make it fool-proof) then print a page that it uses to check alignment. The instructions then tell you to download a program from Canon, which I did for my first computer. However, I skipped that step for my other computers (all Macs), as well as my phone, and they were all able to find the printer and connect almost immediately without having to download any additional programs or drivers. The downloaded Canon program facilitates printing and scanning, but really does nothing different or better than what already comes on the Mac.As others have mentioned, you need to go into settings and disable auto-off, so that the printer is able to respond to print jobs wirelessly. This uses minimal energy – less than a typical nightlight.Quality is great. I would have no concerns about using this for making handouts that contain print and graphics for business meetings. I've only printed photos on plain paper so far but they are vibrant and look very good. This machine comes with all pigment (as opposed to dye) ink. Pigment ink tends to cost a bit more, but the ink already comes included with the printer. Pigment ink also is more durable and UV resistant, and much less resistant to water smearing. (The HP tank printer that I looked at only used pigment ink for black, but dye ink for colors.) I purposely tried to smear the output from this printer with water, and was very pleased with the result.Scanning quality is very good and works with my Mac natively. And as expected, copy quality is also very good. If you need to change any settings, the touchscreen on the printer is bright and easy to use. One additional benefit of this machine is the rear printer slot which you can use for thick card stock that would typically not work in the paper tray.Overall, an excellent printer. The initial cost is higher, but the much lower ink costs make this a bargain in the long run. Highly recommended.

This printer was delivered rapidly. It was sufficiently well packaged that nothing arrived broken.The setup instructions were a bit terse but I had no trouble understanding them. One tip - if you are setting up to use USB as I did, do NOT plug the USB cable in until the directions specifically tell you to do so. If you do, Windows will install its generic driver and that is not the driver you want. Just follow their directions and don't anticipate and you'll be fine.In my situation I have two desktop computers. Neither has WiFi but both have USB ports. While each desktop is on a LAN, I preferred not to use a LAN connection for this printer. Rather, I have a USB switch that switches a Canon Laser Printer and Fujitsu Scanner between each of the desktops. I wanted that switch to also select which computer drives this GX6020 inkjet printer. I had to install the Canon software on each desktop and, after that, everything worked beautifully. Windows would queue up a print job on a computer that was not connected to the inkjet - and printing would commence right away when the switch toggled. This pleased me.Others have reviewed the printer in detail. I'll observe that the B&W print quality for reports or other text printing is excellent. I use inkjet printer paper from OfficeMax with excellent results. The color printing is also very good especially since it is a 4 color printer (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). I print photographs on glossy photo paper with good results.Paper handling has been good. This printer has only two options for paper. There is a bottom mounted cassette that is typically used to hold your high volume paper - in my case, this is 8-1/2x11" paper. My use case has me randomly printing 4x6" photographs from time to time. There is no convenient place to keep this photo paper stored inside the printer. Rather there is a "rumble seat" that folds out from the rear of the printer into which envelopes, 4x6" photo paper, or other paper can be inserted. I found that I could store a dozen 4x6 sheets in this fold-out and just keep it folded out all the time. I don't like this because dust will settle on the top-most photo paper, but it works.The instructions weren't real clear on this next point: When you load paper into the cassette or into the "rumble seat" the printer will ask you to specify the paper time. Make certain you remember exactly what you selected. Then when you want to print something from Windows, your printer dialog box will let you specify the paper to use and the source. Make certain to use the exact same name in Windows that you used in the Canon setup. Also, tell windows to make the paper selection "Automatic" rather than specify the tray to use. If you tell Windows to print on "4x6 glossy photo" then the printer will look and see which tray contains "4x6 glossy photo" and will use that for your printing.I don't use the scanning or sheet feeding much but they work fine. The duplexing I do use a lot and that has been flawless. Like everyone else, I've done a ton of printing and haven't seen a measurable change in the ink levels.Bottom line: I'm impressed with this purchase.5/30/25 Update - after almost 2 years of use, I'm starting to have issues with the print head clogging. I'm still using the original ink that came with the printer. In the past, doing a Deep Clean has been successful in restoring print head operation. However, now it is insufficient. I'll try removing the print head and soaking it on a wet paper towel to see if I can restore operation. I'll mention that I also have a Brother printer - in 5 years of intermittent use it has not clogged once. The Epson that I had before this Canon did not clog once either. Therefore, I suspect print head clogging could be an issue with this printer.
