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

Terrible!

If you are a Google person, don't try Canon. They do not interface with Chromebooks. You have to use an app on your phone which is very flakey.

Canon Products are NOT Easy to Set Up; Canon Support NOT Won't Help

I bought a similar Canon printer AND the Canon CarePAK. There were NO instructions for set up. After 2 weeks of searching for a user's manual, I did find a couple (but nothing written by Canon). The print size was about 0.4 pt--illegible even with my eyeglasses & a magnifying glass. When I called CarePAK for help, they said they could not transfer me tech support until I registered my product. But I could not register because when I tried to fill in the fields required for registration, some of ...

It lasts a long time

I only have one problem though it keeps showing the code 1300 and 6000 error on it and no paper is jammed then the orange light comes on the printer for the telephone and I didn't bother anything I tried you tube and that didn't help I was wondering I had it only 1 1/2 years and I love it just want the same one for the trade in that's all

HATE IT

I am a sectrtary and this printer was bought for me to use in my school office and I HATE IT. The price was good, since it was the schools money, so thought I would try it. I print on draft to save ink. Well after 50 documents my black ink is empty. I am going through a black ink cartridge a month. I would not recommend this printer at all.

so far so good

easy to install easy to use installed on computer and my phone pretty simple prints fast for personal use

Wont pair with mobile devices....poor MAC compatibility

I have barely had a chance to use this printer. Constantly dropped connection with Wi-Fi and needs repaired with mobile devices. No longer pairs with our devices at all and wont connect to BigSur MOC OS. In less than one year, after very few uses, we officially cant use it at all. Its actually kind of funny how bad this printer is.....

Great features

I am very happy with the this product I used it when I was working from home and it worked great!

Garbage

This thing is a glorified paperweight with overly-priced ink replacement. The controls are archaic, outdated and non-functional. The printer loses connection after a few house of it being used. Quality is decent, but it burns through ink in a ridiculous fashion (even in ink saver mode) and the app is worthless. Garbage.

tons of issues scanning

I am at the end of my tether and about to leave Canon for good. I had a great printer that worked like a charm. So, I thought I would by another Canon.... NOPE.... this thing is trash worthy. Don't do it!!

NOT good for wireless printing. Connectivity probs galore.

Connecting a wireless printer has always been a snap in the past. It's pretty easy. Not with this printer. My son is PC savvy, he builds computers from scratch and knows their operating systems inside and out. After wasting many hours on this printer, he finally announced that they didn't do their job of ensuring that this printer will connect wirelessly. It will not connect. Ever optimistic, We tried to connect it to our two Mac computers with a family member who knows Macs insi...

PIXMA TR4720

love my printer. Got it a year ago. Need business capability, looking to add another paper tray. Possible?

Cheap printer

I made a mistake a bought a cheap printer. I had a MX 410 which I had for 10 years and the paper wouldn't load properly. Printers are be made cheaper.

DO NOT BUY

It's flimsy junk that messes with the spool and I have to troubleshoot every time I print.

DO NOT BUY - this printer is garbage

Bought this printer 2 months ago, have only printed about 10 pages total. When I received it, the wireless set up did not work, had to put a wired connection to get it to work at all. Since then, I've needed to print maybe 2 more times, each time it takes an hour of searching error codes to get it to work. Absolute worst purchase ever.

Long Lasting

I bought this printer about 8 years ago and it is still running strong. I have moved a lot over the years and each time the printer has had no problem connecting to the internet and my computers & phone. The print quality is also very good. Sometimes if I cancel a document, the printer will not print any documents after, but I just unplug the printer and try again. Overall, I would recommend this printer.

Far too complicated

Bught this a month ago to replace another Canon Printer. This one is terrible. Everything about it is far too complicated and the on-line manual must have been translated from the Egyptians. And I'm an engineer with 2 degrees.

Don't buy it!

The 4720 is just a rename of the failed 4520 which was a lousy machine to begin with. So, Canon thinks its customer are so stupid we won't know the difference. Then they changed the cartridge so it won't use the 245 xl from the 4520 and requires a new cartridge the 275 xl the only problem is the geniuses at Canon can't make them. So, you get a starter cartridge that prints about 100 pages and then goes dry and you can't buy any ink, so you are stuck with a pile of plastic and can't do any work. ...

Could someone explain to me . .

I have an older computer (windows 7) so I don't use apps and have to get my information from the user manual. NOWHERE does it explain what the buttons on the left side of the machine do. A totally worthless manual unless you're using a smart phone.

CAN'T PRINT WITH OUT INK!!!!

Purchased this TR4720 average printer but cannot use this PRINTER WITHOUT INK no one has ink not even CANNON I would like to return the printer due to it not able to work without ink!!! I would like to see if Cannon will step up to the plate and send me a return auth

RIP OFF

First of all, Canon should have NEVER released this printer. It is the worst printer I have ever owned. You can not find ink for it. There is a chip shortage that is obviously coming into play with this printer. If you were suckered into buying it under bad faith and false promises, contact the Better Business Bureau and DEMAND a refund. It is loud, slow AND you can't get ink. TRASH!! Shame on you canon!
