Amazon says this is a "newer version" of Canon Pixma iX6520 Inkjet Printer. I need the graphics ability of X6520 but in a wireless printer. Anyone know if this one is truly equivalent to the X6520 in terms of quality of output?

The iX6820 is just the iX6520 with wireless. I have both models, one at work and one at home. The graphic quality is exactly the same. Again the newer model is just with wireless added.

See comment #1. This will not automatically handle paper size greater than 8.5 x 14.Also - this is NOT a color copier or printer.It will duplex/two side print.It will scan and save in color. Output is PDF, TIFF, JPG or BMP.I have had this model (2 of them) for a number of years and it is extremely reliable and heavy duty for its class.Recently purchased a third MFP from Canon - DW4880 wireless scanner, printer, copier and fax. Updated model but doesn't have the performance of the 4370. It is not color output but will scan and store color images.

I'm wondering the same thing. Canon's website doesn't even have this printer listed and I just bought it!

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

This is the printer you need, I've had mine for a couple months now and I love it. However, you might want to check out the compatible ink cartridges for the printer instead of the Canon brand. Reason being, it does go through ink a little faster than the Epson Workforce all-in-ones, but with half-cost ink, the cost of printing is... half cost :) There are a lot of inks out there but this particular brand has built-in computer chips to show the ink levels just like the brand name cartridges. I just ordered a set and will make a review after I've used them. Also, with the auto duplex feature, have your kids print on both sides of one piece of paper if they can to save on paper cost. Try this link for the ink: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PGI225-CLI226-Compatible-Cartridges/dp/B004WPXS9O/ref=sr_1_17?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316424592&sr=1-17 Good luck!

You have a point there but to me MX860 is a more attractive machine than MX850...and I really want to have WI-FI even though I can go as far as using a wireless bridge, I don't want to. Plus it remains to be seen which machine produces better quality prints for those occasions when I do want a lab-like print out. For now, there is not enough reviews out there from sites like CNET.Although interestingly enough, looking at the specs I see that MX850 has a lot more print nozzles then MX860...wonder what that means in terms of quality or maybe that's why 860 is slower. In either case, I'll give 860 a shot. But if Wi-FI wasn't a "really-want-to-have" feature for me, I would consider MX850.

I agree its a great printer. works with Mac OS 10.9.2 when I am on that network which is primarily windows 7 & 8 machines. I have had no issues printing from either microsoft office or pages/numbers. It is a higher speed / B&W; printer that I think does well on shades of grey images. I also have a Brother 9840 color printer that I have no issues connecting to, scanning or printing to in a wireless configuration as well as a Brother 2270, also wireless. The 6180 has, in my opinion, the best performance/price ratio of the B&W; printers.

I've had no issues with it, yes this is the latest I know of. fyi only issue I don't care for as I have had others and this is not been a friendly as those, is the paper tray doesn't hold a lot and is a pain to put in at times, other that that I like it. no question Samsung make great printers and this wifi version is nice.

I believe it would since you can print from your computer, wirelessly; but, in truth, I don't use the wireless capability. I suggest one of two things, or both: download the manual and read it; or, call Canon sales directly. It's a fine printer. I prefer my old Pixma MP800's controls and physical function; but this one prints pics much nicer. Little change in how it works overall, differences in software, etc. I fell right into it, having had my 800. I like this one's rear paper feeder - set the cassette to 8.5 x 11; and, anything else goes down the shute automatically, its size determined by the brain, depending upon how the feed holder is set.

I have the printer. I purchased the 950 & 951 (3 color) cartridges. But have changed them yet. I'm still using the cartridges that came with printer. Love the printer, wireless & print quality is great

I purchased a Canon PIXMA MX340 and never had much success with it. It was very slow and printing with it was 'hit or miss'. I opted to donate it and purchase another brand that was not wireless. I do not know if 'wireless' had anything to do with the problems I had, but also in my case, the alarm light stayed on more often than not.

Have you bought the printer? I, too, am thinking of buying this printer and I also LOVE using Picassa. I always edit my pictures on Picassa before printing them. Just curious to see how this is working for you.

Your question isn't really very clear. My advice is to buy the ink cartridge model that the printer manufacturer specifies. Perhaps Amazon hasn't updated their specs with the latest printer models yet. Stick to the name brand inks, at least until you get to know your new printer well, and have had it for a while. The savings on the knock-off ink just isn't worth the risk.

Hello. I have a Pixma MX360, not the MX350. So, my Pixma does not have a wireless feature. Sorry, but I have no knowledge related to your question. I would suggest you contact Canon Tech Support: Support by Email: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/form_display/sup_by_email; Support by Phone: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/contact_by_phone. Good luck in getting an answer to your question. Best regards, Bruce

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

I'm thinking of buying this printer. I LOVE using Picasa3. If I buy this particular printer and I will be using Picasa3 and IF I find the same problems you are talking about, I'll get back to you. Thanks for the information you've passed along. I've LOVED my HP Photosmart 7550 but it just quit accepting ANY ink cartridges! Can't find it's problem. Printed beauuuuuutifully.
