4Worked perfectly out of box and was very easy to set up on both PC and MACs
By RW on April 10, 2015
I just received this printer today and I have successfully installed it on both PC and Mac machines. I was able to connect the printer directly from my PC via USB cable and also over our wifi network (via a wireless router) to my wife's and kids' MACs. I initially thought that (based on some wording in the manuals...) I would not be able to use both connections at the same time, meaning, for us, that I would have to switch manually between USB and Wireless connections. This was, fortunately, not the case. I was able to print from both machines without any switching on the printer.
I should admit up front that my requirements for this printer were not necessarily typical, as this is not my only printer. I already have a HP monochrome laser for printing high volume text docs (cheapest per page that I've found, plus I got the printer for free...). I also have a Xerox Phaser (solid ink printer) for doing color presentations. What I needed was a relatively cheap printer that my wife and kids could use for printing random stuff (mostly homework and an occasional photo) from anywhere in the house from any computer. I also needed multifunction (copy and scan mostly with occasional faxing) capability for my office, as I use this mostly as a duplex scanner and duplex printer/copier. Auto duplex functionality was critical for me and I also wanted 2 paper trays (1 for paper and 1 for envelopes, in my case) that could be setup individually for different uses. Print speed and print quality were important, but obviously, for the uses I list above, we are not looking at individual pixels, nor using it for high quality graphics or photos...I might do one or two photos a year and I do graphics on other printers, so this is mostly for text and homework. For my uses, the graphics and text quality is very good. I've already printed a few business letters on plain paper and the image/text/graphics quality is very professional looking and more than adequate for my use, even if I want to print some occasional business letters on it--which I just might!
A number of reviews have pointed to very slow print speeds. I have not really put this printer through any demanding paces yet, but after printing a few test pages from different computers over different network access points, I do not notice a level of slowness that would cause me any concern. I have not yet tried to print a graphics heavy, 2-sided document, so that could be a different story. It printed equalIy fast via USB and over our wireless network, so I am happy that the wifi setup and execution seems to be working well too. I do not notice any particular shaking or vibration during printing or other uses that another reviewer highlighted. It's not the quietest printer I've ever heard, but it's not noticeably loud nor shaky for me and it's no louder than my HP Laser nor my Xerox Phaser.
For me, the final proof will be in the long-run ink costs to run and maintain the printer. I had an old Canon MX7600 that just died that this Maxify MB5320 is replacing. The MX7600 was admittedly more tilted towards photo printing than small/home office/business use, but the ink costs were exorbitant to me and it seemed to just devour ink for constant head cleaning prior to printing each document... I looked extensively at reviews on Consumer Reports, CNET, Computer Shopper, PC Mag, Amazon, etc. I almost bought the Epson Workforce 4640, but was concerned about the number of out-of-box issues cited by so many reviewers and also the apparently poor Epson customer service. So far, so good on the Canon Maxify MB5320. I will try to write an update once I've used it for longer and have used the scan and copy features, particularly with the duplex auto-feed capabilities under scrutiny. If your use is similar to mine, I think you'll be happy with the new Maxify MB5320, particularly for the current $199 price. I definitely would not have paid anywhere near $399 (MSRP) for this machine, but at $199, it seems like a good value to me. I don't have anything negative to say about it. I consider it very good--and it does everything it says it does in my case, at least so far.
4Excellent Low End_Home Office MFP by Canon, but prints slower than your kid does his chores.
By Matthew Marlowe on March 30, 2015
The MB5320 is a new printer getting quite a bit of attention, and buyers should know exactly what they are getting, and the limitations of the MB5320.
Small-Office/High-End Home Office Printing has typically been the range of all-in-one laser printers by HP and Xerox. Inkjets historically have catered purely to the consumer home user and other niches, as they have issues with print speed and overall cost per page when deployed for wide use.
Canon has a very well known brand in the consumer space, especially photography, and is trying to leverage that brand to invade the small office market, at least for small start-ups with < 20 employees - especially those businesses on a limited budget. The good news is that Canon seems to recognize the challenge and isn't releasing any business products that won't be credit. The bad news is that Canon maybe overselling what inkjet technology is capable of, at least at this price point. The processor of the MB5320 also can be a little sluggish at times - I think it is depending on the OS print/scan drivers to fill in for additional power.
OK - here are the details you want to know, and my test results after using the printer intensely for a few days with extensive tweaking. First the good news:
Business document print quality is _superb_ and overall, the black text looks better than my old $6K Xerox c2424 Phaser Workgroup printer. It's hard to believe it is from an inkjet. For those worried about scanning, that functionality and the auto-duplex document feeder are also professionally done, mimicking the power of much higher end MFP's. The overall user experience, drivers, startup, and build of the printer are very well done. The 500 page paper cartridges is also a nice plus for a low-end mfp.
I was happy to see that on first turn-on, the printer automatically connects to the canon website and downloads the latest firmware.
On to the bad news: - Print speed, when the drivers are tweaked for quality, is atrocious. You are looking at 50 seconds per double sided page. - Multi platform is also likely to be an issue, as the printer seems to be extremely dependent on its drivers for 'assistance' so user experience will depend on how well the drivers are implemented on their platform. I suspect windows 8 users will be happy, mac users will find the printer acceptable, and linux users will be completely out of luck. - It shakes quite a bit while running. You need to place it on a very stable/solid platform to get the best scanning and graphics printing results. - I have yet to extensively test the price/page and photo printing, but I suspect that even with Canon's XL cartridges we're looking at 2-3x the price point of laser and I've seen some slight defects that make me believe that you won't want to use this printer for high end marketing brochures or where graphics/photo quality is critical.
Overall, I'll suggest that this printer was a great deal at the original $200 price point, that it's a fair deal for $300, and that buyers probably should look for a higher end printer from HP/Xerox if they can afford closer to a $500 price point. Certainly, this printer shouldn't be used where speed, multiplatform, or photo/brochure printing are important.
Update on 4/9/15: First paper jam, I suspect the printer has issues with heavyweight paper. Printing an scanning has otherwise been reliable. Tested out copying and it's not as full featured as the printing/scan functionality, but works OK for the home office.
