Ratings & Reviews for Canon PIXMA TR4720 All- in-One Printer Copy/Fax/Print/Scan Black

Trerrible Printer

Printer is very difficult to connect to wirelessly. There is no option for a data cable. Will be returning for an HP or Brother brand printer. Very disappointed.

Do not buy!

I bought this about a month ago. I am a homeschooling parent and needing a new one that has a Wi-Fi feature,thinking I hit the jack-pot. Unfortunately,no and this printer is absolutely awful! Its very large, difficult to setup and connects/prints when it wants to. I should have read the reviews first.

Go to another brand.

This machine was hard to set up and its hard to use . Not elderly people approved.

One copy and it failed ,error codes , repeated trying to self correct

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT It did not work after one copy . I bought it because I needed one copy . Then got an error code . 5100 . paper jam ? nope. ……packaging material stuck in machine ? nope . Then try cleaning contacts. ??? WHAT ? It made one copy !

TR4720 printer

The TR4720 replaced my six-year old TR4520 and it works fine. I got a lot of help from Canon's helper service to get the new printer into operation.

Canon Pixma printer

The Canon PIXMA printer works well, but I did not realize that there was an internal ink reservoir that can become saturated and cause the printer to not work. This ink collection system is not repairable, and the printer needs to be replaced.

The Worst Printer of All Time

You get what you pay for! This is the worst printer on the planet. You may have better luck buying a printer on temu or digging in your local dumpster. This is the most useless waste of space I have ever had the displeasure of keeping in my home. I would rather go to prison and request to use a printer there than ever buy one of these printers again. My life is infinitely worst for having attempted to use this printer.

Does not like current version of Windows 11.

Stopped working on windows 11. Had Dell tech working over an hour trying to get drivers to download after Windows 11 reinstall. Wasted a day trying to get this printer to work. Complicated piece of junk with overpriced ink for good measure.

Junk

My 3=month old printer lost contact with my PC. I have spent two hours trying to reconnect. 20 years ago I could have gone to the website and downloaded a driver in 2 minutes. Now I can't even connect by any means.I think that this is my last Canon.

High cost ink, works 50% of the time, maybe

Worked once per cartridge, don't anticipate that you will get very hight quality printing and high volume from this printer. I purchased it in a pinch and got 2 pages out of the first cartridge and 3 pages out of the second page. Yes, I have infrequent use, but I have a brand new cartridge and the printer tells me my ink is out. I guess it did let me print the document I needed but didn't know I would need to buy a new cartridge every time I wanted to print a few pages. I recommend saving your m...

PAY MORE MONEY AND HAVE LESS HEADACHES

I love Canon printers but this one has been lots of trouble. I wanted a fax machine and it has that but the instructions for use is all online and you have to hunt to find the manual on Canon's website. My calls were being cut off and the fax sound rang in the ears of whoever was talking to me because I missed a setting on receiving a fax and didn't go to the advice setting. I had to buy a longer telephone cord so I could move the printer in a further spot from the modem because I still wanted ...

AWFUL!!!!

worst printer I've ever had. doesn't even print. No instructions. the couple of times I got it to print, it was so light you couldn't read anything. bought new ink cartridges for new printer and still same results. Do not buy. What a piece of crap.

Pita printer is black hole for time

This printer is awful because it's supposed to be wifi but it's actually USB-based & doesn't communicate well with Netgear43 Gateway. It's also incompatible with Windows 11 and has communication errors constantly, the print spooler needs to be emptied manually & reset repeatedly. No firmware updates are available to fix these issues, & the Printer Management App does not work with Windows 11 Home Edition. It only works with Windows 11 Pro. Had I known all these things I would not have purchased ...

Ready when I am ...

This printer does everything I need it to do. The auto duplex is a really nice feature to have.

No more Canon

My partner needed a printer fast and this one was in stock. Biggest mistake ever! We have had so many issues with it. Whether we are printing from a phone, tablet or laptop there is always an issue. This has been the only printer that I have to print through the app. And that still isn't a guarantee. Even without high usage the ink dries out quickly. I've had a Canon in the past but if this is what to expect I'm done.

Stay away from this product!

Terrible product. Ink evaporates over a couple of months. Spent at least 5 time more for ink than the printer itself. Ink cost per copy is enormous.

Horrible Product

I have had nothing but trouble with this printer since I bought it. It constantly disconnects from my wifi causing me to reinstall and re-enter password. The keypad for that is ridiculous - not very user friendly. Whenever I have to install a new ink cartridge, it gives me error messages, and this time when trying to change my color ink cartridge, it is giving me the error message but this time I can't get around it. I paid a pretty penny for the ink. I can't just throw it away because it's n...

Better than Expected

I've had wireless printers before, this model seamlessly configures to laptop, phone for easy printing. Trying out the auto-ink program, let's see how it works.

Easy to use printer

Everything works and is easy to use. It was easy to set up..

Horrible wireless printer - count yourself lucky if it prints.

I bought this printer a couple of months ago and wanted a base model that could print a few documents per week, mostly in black and white. Every time I try to print, I have issues getting the printer to download the document and even once it does and the printer queue indicates it is printing, nothing is happening. I typically have to cancel printing mutliple times before I actually get what I need.
