About Canon MX492 Black Wireless All-in-One Small Printer
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
77% highlighted the software compatibility, while 23% were disappointed
I have standout features in terms of software compatibility. The Canon PRINT app makes it easy for me to print and scan from my mobile device, and I can conveniently print from Dropbox or Google Drive.
The software is a nightmare with unclear driver download web page. Customer service is lacking and screen options are impossible to follow.
I found this printer very difficult to install on Windows 10/11 computers. It took me an hour to figure out how to get drivers installed. This shows that I have faced the problem personally.
71% liked the printing speed, but 29% weren't satisfied
I have noticed that the print quality is excellent with sharp and clear prints and vibrant colors.
The printer produces terrible prints, runs out of ink incredibly fast, and is super slow. It also doesn't allow scanning when out of ink.
Printing a document takes me more time now than it used to. I have to turn on my laptop, retrieve the document, and then print it, which takes more than a minute.
77% appreciated the print quality, while 23% disagreed
I am impressed with the excellent print quality of the printer. It produces sharp and clear prints with vibrant colors.
I have been having consistent problems with the printer since day 1, including paper misalignment, spotty printing quality and general annoyances with its operation.
The print quality is mediocre and I receive near ubiquitous error messages with every attempted use. It is the worst printer I have ever owned.
72% found it energy efficient, however, 28% raised issues
The printer is not energy efficient and can't perform its basic function reliably.
89% were satisfied with the connectivity options, but 11% weren't
The Canon PRINT app makes it easy for me to print and scan from my smartphone or tablet, which is very convenient when I need to print something on the go.
I struggled to connect the printer to wifi for a long time, but finally figured it out. The printer did not give me much trouble other than that.
