The printer works brilliantly and the wireless is fantastic although I did get slightly confused when setting it up!
The printer comes with ink cartridges which I didn't know so that was useful. Definitely the best printer on the market!

This is a fantastic Printer/Scanner/Copier. Very easy to set up using the User Guide and works flawlessly within my wireless network. Id recently swapped from a desktop to a Laptop and decided that i wanted a wireless printer to go with it. Really pleased i went with this one. It does everything it says it does effortlessly and is so easy to use. Was set up within 30 mins of taking out of the box (at least 10 mins of that unpacking/installing the inks etc). very Highly Recommended!

This is my first review.
The bigger brother of this model, the MP630 did not have the same connectivity but is a better printer for normal (USB) use. This model is a better option if you want to print from multiple computers and have a little home network setup.
Firstly the instructions, easy to follow, the hardest part of the installation I found was getting the print head installed as it seemed to need more pressure even when it was in the right place.
Printing is speedy, even over the wired, or wireless connections (not both at the same time though, setup one or the other) Setup of the wireless connection was easiest with a USB key and the windows wireless wizard. Scanning works well again, via USB and over the LAN. Photo printing is excellent quality when used with the proper paper.
On windows, this setup is easy, you can get it to work with Linux (Ubuntu) but it takes some real effort to do. Instructions are spread out over the internet. If you are after better linux support and are not confident in doing this, I would recommend an HP Photosmart instead (this worked almost out the box with Linux for me last time) but these are typically more expensive to run.
Scanning in linux "Should" work, but I've not got round to getting this up and running yet!
Printer has been up and running since Christmas, and with light to medium use, I've still not had to change a cartridge yet!.
Each colour is individually tanked, and each one costs around £10. More economical to only change the colours you have used up.
The Paper tray underneath is quite small, and the feeder at the back is good as an addtional source but spoils the aesthetics when up. The tray at the front flips down automatically (pretty swish and neat) so your print job comes out.
All in all, a great little package and a good price.

I bought this because I needed a Wi-Fi printer.
I must say it was a breeze to set the wireless network up,which can be awkward to say the least.Canon seemed to have made this easy just follow the manual and you can`t go wrong.Have got it wireless networked to one desktop PC and two laptops and works great.
Well recommended.

Love my mp620 printer as yet can't fault it, BUT when I bought it from Amazon there was a deal to buy an extra set of ink.
Just checked and the page is the same,when you buy the printer the next line says "Frequently Bought Together..Customers who bought this item also bought this set of ink" ...so I did too. When my original ink that came with the printer ran out I opened one of the new inks(which now means I can't exchange it) only to find they are the wrong ones for this printer. I e-mailed Amazon and got a computer generated e-mail telling me how to return my purchases. I rang the Amazon help line and the young lady told me I must deal directly with the third party that I purchased the ink from. She did not seem concerned about how I had managed to order the wrong ink in the first place. I have now e-mailed the ink company and am waiting on a reply. So BEWARE save yourself a lot of wasted time and money and check the deal they are offering ...Regards Elizabeth
P.S Shima Uma the ink company have been quick to respond with offer of a refund when they were NOT at fault.
