So simple. but precise
It's so easy to print double-sided. And I love that you can print photos precisely the size that you want. so there's no wasted photo paper( which can be expensive). It's takes a few seconds to 'boot up', which was unexpected, but once it's up, it's on!

I purchased this printer as a replacement for my Epson Artisan that was worn out..
I read hundreds of reviews and finally decided to purchase the Canon PIXMA MG5520. Honestly my biggest reservation was that it was so inexpensive I was unsure as to what quality it would be. I was pleasantly surprised by its quality as I took it from the box.
I am not a tech guru so I was not looking forward to the install process but I just simply read the directions and the wireless install worked very smoothly and i was printing and scanning in approximately 30 minutes of which most was reading the directions several times.
My wife wanted to be able to print from her pad and phone as well as her personal computer and our main computer. In addition to that I wanted to be able to print from my hobby computer in my shop as well as my phone and another tablet that I use with my hobby. So I had to download iphone apps as well as android apps and install on 3 other computers. I was shocked by the fact that all of them installed so easy and were working properly on the first try..
We have used it daily for about 45 days now and not needed to replace ink units yet. The seem like a good sign.
So far I am very happy with the purchase especially since the unit was less than $100 and I just didn't think a unit for that price would be so functional. Color printing and photo printing is excellent and seems as good or better than my older unit that was 3 times the cost.
Over all my initial experience has been exceptional. We shall see how it endures for a year or two.

I've been using this thing for four months, and it has been great. (Except for the fact that it broke three weeks into ownership. I contacted Canon, and they quickly sent me a new unit and a complimentary set of ink cartridges.)

Favorite Features:
-Automatic power on: this let you print from anywhere in your wireless network even if the printer is turned off. It will turn itself on and complete your print job.

-Automatic duplex printing: lets you print double-sided documents without having to flip the paper manually and reload it into the printer.

-It doesn't use a lot of ink (I mostly just print documents, though. I'm not sure about photo printing.)

-It's quiet. There's a special quiet mode, but it makes printing a little slower if used.

-It's reliable. Print jobs are always completed on the first attempt without frustrating wireless network grief.

-Excellent customer support (mentioned above)

-Easy set-up. Just follow the simple instructions.

Cons:

-It's large and takes up a great deal of my table space

I would highly recommend this printer to people who want to print from anywhere on their networks but don't want to get up and walk to the printer to turn it on.

In the interests of fairness I must point out that this is my first color printer. For many years I've worked perfectly with a B & W laser printer plus a flatbed scanner to digitize prints and slides into my computer. But I have wanted a color printer for a few reasons, the main one being for the capability of printing my photos - primarily scenic and nature. So some of the comments I'm about to render might apply to all moderately priced color printers. First of all, problems started for me upon setting up the MG5520. I was having a frustrating amount of trouble following the pictorial representations of the 'Getting Started' manual.(BUT THAT'S ALL THERE IS) My big screw-up came when I plugged in the unit while the feed tray was still folded up. So now I had a non-functioning machine with an error message I couldn't get rid of. Canon prominently provides a 1-800 helpline # and I used it fast. After having me unplug the unit for a few minutes and then plugging it back in, (something I already tried) the agent told me that I had done nothing to break it (I sort of doubt that), that it was a lemon and they would send me a new machine via priority shipping. It arrived the next morning. I CAN'T COMMEND CANON ENOUGH FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE! The machine they sent was the MG5620, a machine similar in every conceivable way. This time I made no mistakes with the set-up and within an hour I was printing. Docs with color come out clear, crisp and beautiful. I'm still experimenting with my photos to see exactly what I can and cannot do. When using a high quality, 80 lb. paper you do come out with a luxuriant and beautiful print with high image accuracy and intense colors. BUT... with 8 1/2" X 11" paper if you have any subject matter near the (horizontal) sides of the image expect the printer to chop part of it off. As a photographer I've always been told to "fill the frame". Now I find that some of my pictures will be inappropriate for printing. Maybe if I were to use A4 paper (8 1/4" X 11 11/16") I will achieve different results, but who knows what might be cut off from the (horizontal) bottom or top. BESIDES, in terms of display.... I'm having lots of trouble finding suitable pre-made framing even for the 8 1/2" X 11" format. All matting seems to be cut 8" X 10" (the classic 'head shot'), which would crop my images even more. Only 'document frames' are sized properly, but they're cheap looking and then I'm worried about the emulsions being flush to the glass (provided it really is glass). Given the popularity of home photo printing, I'm surprised the framing industry is still focusing on prints developed from film. In conclusion, this machine is really pretty good WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITATIONS FOR FINE PHOTO PRINTING. The instruction manual situation is atrocious. I found the 'Getting Started' manual to be most unwieldy, and the supplied disc only makes a half page accessed through your 'Printers and Devices" function. On this half page it says you can download further operations manuals with a link to the Canon website, but once there one finds no download windows. The manuals are hardly worth downloading anyway. But in the end, even with all the wrong my experiences have portrayed, given what this unit has cost me, what I have gotten is still well worth the money.

Reviewed in Canada on April 9, 2015

From the pictures, it appeared that this Canon model used the same ink cartridges as my older model, but sadly this was not the case. An excellent printer, but as I should have known, no two models use the same carts and with over $300 invested in ink for the older model, the same model is no longer available. This is a flaw in the industry, not the printer itself, which is more than satisfactory.
