Canon PIXMA TR7650 Wireless All-In-One Colour Inkjet Printer - A4 Print, Copy, Scan, Fax - 20-Sheet ADF, Borderless Printing, 5 Individual Inks - Touchscreen - Wi-Fi, Cloud Connectivity - Home Printer

Had had a Canon printer for a number of years & needed to replace it. Made some enquiries & found this one used the cartridges of my old one. Reasonable price, next day delivery. Not technically oriented however with a little assistance was able to connect to my laptop & phone. Good quality printing & functions similar to previous printer.

It's a sturdy-looking and feeling machine, very similar to a Canon printer we had a few years ago, which did absolutely sterling service. If this one's as good for the same length of time, it will see me out! A few new worthwhile features which the previous one didn't have (eg auto switch off). The paper input "trays" seem a little less easy to line up, but that's probably just a question of getting used to it. So far, well pleased with speed and quality of the output.

Printer arrived early with packaging all in tact Set up of printer was easy using QR code video links and print / scanner quality great 😃

Excellent for the different uses

I finally decided to retire my 10 year old Canon Pixma PG6250 due to increasingly frequent error message about a door being open that wasn't. I decided to replace it with the nearest equivilent that I could find, as error message aside, the PG had been a good printer. Upon opening the box it immediately became apparent this was a whole different species. Whereas the PG was made from sturdy Glossy plastic, this one was made out of very thin matt finish plastic, which immediatly looked dirty and dusty. First job was to remove the transit tape, which, in contrast to the printer itself, was first class, tough and sticky, so sticky that most of the panels it was attached to deformed alarmingly whilst trying to remove it, in fact the paper tray disintegrated and needed to be reassembled. Next job was to install the ink cartridges, this went as expected, no problems there. Next, print head alignment, again no problems. OK, time to connect it to my computer., that took 2 hours! The "Easy Wireless Setup" didnt work, the "Easy Wireless Setup Troubleshooter" didnt work, none of the online help worked. Eventually I went back to basics. I connected it ot my network manually using the password ("WPA" didn't work, obviously) ok, at least it was on the network. Now to connect it to the PC. I downloaded the drivers from the website and installed them. Next went to the "Software" page where i spotted the "WiFi Connection Assistant", yippee I thought! It Didn't work ! I thought whilst I was there I'd download all the relevant software, turns out half of the stuff on the page isn't compatible with W11. It's basically just a page of apps to help you consume ink, should you get it working. Eventually I admitted defeat and went back to the box to get the USB lead and plug it into my PC, guess what? No USB cable. They did thoughtfully include what looks like an old telephone cable, little use for connecting a printer to a computer though. Fortunately I still had the USB cable from the PG which has the weird almost square plug on one end. Plugged it in and success, the computer spotted my printer instantly. Ran the "WiFi connection assistant" again, and it, somewhat ironically, worked. OK time to test it, obviously the old "Solution Menu" doesnt work any more, so I uninstalled it and downloaded that new "Quick Menu". Yep! Didn't work! apparently its not compatible with this model, every other Canon model, but not this one. I noticed on the box, there was a photo of a mobile, so I thought I'd install the app and control it via that! That worked. I then noticed that the app was also available for windows, so I installed that, amazingly, that worked too Bizzarely the "Canon Print" app does not appear on the software download page for the printer, even though lots of stuff that no longer works does, and when you go to the app download page it says explicitely "Apps & Functions On this tab, you can view the available Apps and functions that are compatible with your product. There are no compatible Apps available for this product" Really? As you can guess from this review, this will be my last Canon printer.

Brilliant all in one, extremely good value for money. Well packed, delivered on time. I really am enjoying using it.

I was apprehensive about setting up my new printer but I needn’t have worried. Using the Canon setup webpage I linked immediately with my WiFi and printing from compatible devices like my phone is straightforward. I have had no issues with its operation so far but would have welcomed more information in the box about its various functions. I resorted to YouTube videos for step by step operation guides for scanning and copying. It’s too early to comment on how long the inks last for. Recommended.

The printer needs to be powered on before a print job is sent to it. The option to wake the printer from sleep when it receives a print job has to be enabled in the settings, as this is not the default behavior.
