The startup-routine is as noisy as it is lengthy, and I wonder how much ink is being used to clean and prime the printheads. The connectivity is good and I have had no problems with the wi-fi connection. However, although this is my first Canon printer it will certainly be my last.
The iP7250 looks wider and deeper than the iP4300, on checking the specs:
iP7250 (W x D x H) 451 x 368 x 128mm
iP4300 (W x D x H) 445 x 303 x 160mm
As others have stated the iP7250 gets its paper from one of two trays (so not a top feeder like the PIXMA iP7250). This caused me some issues as the only paper tray that accepts A4 paper is the bottom one, and it kept catching on the table cloth (on which the printer sat) when I tried to remove the cassette. So no more table cloth!
I connected the printer using a USB cable and downloaded just the printer driver from the Canon website. Printer comes with a USB cable approx. 1.4 metres.
As usual which Canon printers, printer makes a lot of whirring, wheezing and banging before it does any printing. Once printing it is quiet in operation and produces good quality results.
Went with Canon due to the fact the last one was so good.
It prints good quality papers and photos - just like the model 7 years before.
But - unlike the model of over 7 years old
The iP7250 is slow to start up - really slow, like 2 minutes slow - every time.
Its very very noisy - its so noisy it sounds broken and unhealthy - but its not.
Like a few other reviews - on Windows 7 I've had issues with the computer being unable to communicate with computer. Printer seems to be put into pause mode under device manager - no idea why.
WIFI seems to work ok. Wifi access point is in the same room, so signal is no issue. Relatively simple to set up.
I've had a few photos where the ink came out smudged on on top corner using 6x4 canon glossy paper.
Personally, I would not recommend this printer. I've no idea what else to recommend but this is not that good.
Finally I grew exasperated and tried a small Canon printer, primarily because, as a photographer, I wanted to be able to print on CDs. This printer became my daily printer for almost everything and I had no problems until, finally The print head gave out and it would cost more to replace the head than buy a new printer. So I purchased this. This has WiFi bulit in so I can send stuff from my Laptop or Tablet.
I was so impressed that I recommended that a friend get a Canon printer as well. She wanted one that included a scanner so went for the CANON PIXMA MG5550 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer and is equally satisfied with it.
Set-up was not as easy as expected, which is why it's only 4/5. The WPS (automatic Wifi connection) failed to work several times with my Virgin 100MB broadband router. I have to put the CD in and run through the set-up with the CD - it does need a USB cable for a CD set-up but this comes with the printer.
The printer has two paper trays. One for A4 (The bottom one) and the top one for smaller sizes. When using AirPrint with Apple products to print photos the AirPrint defaults to the smaller tray and prints directly onto smaller photo paper very well. The only down side is that to print to the A4 paper tray you have to download the Canon Pixma App and print through that.
A neat little unit and apart from the slow ish initial set-up and the non-ability to print on A4 using AirPrint it's a very good printer.
I did something I have never done before....I asked Canon to recommend a model to replace my old one, explaining fully to Canon exactly what I used my printer for....strictly Photographic use. This model was recommended by Canon. It was straightforward to install. ususally there is something that snags, however minor, but this wet as smooth and as easy as one would wish. The pictures produced are first class, There are times when I do miss the old Wet film and print system ( old smokers occasionally miss their pipes! ) but digital photography is a doddle and this printer puts the snap into doddle absolutey. Recommended.

Here is a very useful all-round machine - someone thought about this when they put a duplex capability in such a budget piece of equipment. And yes, it works - indeed, as I write it's producing 30 double-sided words and notice sheets for church on Sunday without the hassle of trying to remember which way to feed the paper back in after printing on one side. Full marks for the duplex!
But the ship has been spoiled for a ha'p'orth of tar - or the accountants got hold of it, more to the point.
There's no proper screen so setting-up some functions such as wifi relies on waiting for various lights to flash rather than having a clear message.
Photocopying is fine in both black and white and colour but there's no zoom capability.
The colour cartridge is just that - singular - meaning use too much yellow and you need to replace the unused magenta and cyan at the same time which is a bit of a waste.
Setting up the machine to work with the computer was not as straightforward as I would have hoped; Windows didn't recognise it but, strangely, would scan into a document while refusing to print. On second attempt it installed correctly but the accompanying software is somewhat over the top for such a basic piece of equipment. For Linux I had to search the support site for drivers (why not supplied on the disk?) but these installed well and printing - including duplexing - works fine. For scanning the software works, but with fewer functions than its Windows brother, but Canon have forgotten that Linux is mainstream these days and only supply scanning software which launches as a CLI from Terminal. Once launched, however, it works OK.
Very happy that it does the same stuff - photo printing, duplex, CD print, two separate paper sources for different media.
Added bonus of wireless printing so all the PCs and laptops in my house can now print via the network.
If there is a downside, it takes a while to get started with the first print after turning on (though not the 5 minutes some buyers have reported.
My old CD printing software from the previous printer still works with this one which is a bonus.
Bought this for the same price from eBuyer - delivery was a bit longer but I prefer to use them as the PAY THEIR TAX!
Then the jams started - at first they were easy to solve, flip the back and pull out. But then it go stuck under the ink cartridges and wouldn't come out, so I swapped printers with my dad (it is also an mg3250 printer) so he could try and fix the first one. I haven't had my dad's one for a week and it's already jammed beyond pulling it out.
As a uni student this now means that I have to pay for a bus ticket to the other side of town and then pay to print my work out, luckily my subject doesn't require it but I print my notes out as my handwriting is horrible in a rush and also some of my assignements also need to be printed out!
Setup was very easy using the CD enclosed. A few words of advice though - choose the USB connection option at first then follow the instructions exactly and you'll be fine - you can customise it and connect it by Ethernet or Wireless later! Also, make sure you get someone to help you unpack it and lift it into position as it is very heavy.
Printing is very good quality, fast and quiet using Photoshop CS6, Indesign CS6 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I have ordered some special papers for it and will write up how it performs with those a little later.
1) Photo quality: significantly worse. I'm using genuine Canon inks but the colours are washed out every time. I have to artificially boost black levels or contrast on Photoshop or in the print menu to get satisfactory results.
2) Paper feed mechanism: rubbish. Printer consistently fails to detect the last sheet of paper. This failure applies to both photo paper and standard paper in BOTH trays. I often have to open up the trays and re-position the paper to get it working. Even more seriously, the feed mechanism does not support thicker photo paper from the likes of Hahnemuhle. The lack of a manual feed option means it's impossible to print on more adventurous photo paper. A terrible retrograde step considering the ip4500 could handle this.
3) Very noisy. Much noisier than the ip4500.
When my ip4500 packed up, I deliberately chose to buy another dedicated photo printer rather than an all-in-one, figuring it would do one thing very well. Alas the ip7250 does nothing well. I wished I'd spent the same money replacing the printer head on my old Canon. New is not necessarily better.
But this item made my and my mrs who is a professional photographer fantastic surprise. Printing quality on paper as well as on cd's is surprisingly good! This particular model does everything what we really need.
It also prints double side paper without manually turning a page! We have multiprinter from HP and it was nightmare when double sided prints were required.
It might use a lot of ink, not sure about it. But it is so convinient to replace only certain colour cartridge instead of common "colour cartridge".
Now I know that you really pay more for extra gadgets which you might don't even need. We wanted just a good photo printer and we are delighted with our purchase. Thanks
My main gripe though, is that I kept getting false error messages about the paper tray being empty when it was not, which meant I couldn't print at all. After the colour ink got used up, I had it running on just black ink but it only lasted a couple of print jobs before I started to get these paper out error messages and it would not print at all. Then one day, it randomly printed a couple of pages again but then stalled again saying the black ink was low, while also giving the error message about being out of paper.
I deliberated on whether to pay out for more ink to see if that was an issue, or just to just go ahead and get a new printer. Well, I purchased new ink and it printed a page and then went back to error message (same paper in tray from moments ago.) Couldn't find any help anywhere. Image garden the software it comes with is awful and makes scanning so tedious. Basically wasn't enjoying the printer at all and it had ground to a complete halt, so had to purchase a new one. I have gone back to Hp printer as my last one was pretty good. Quicker, quieter and more functional and intuitive. (I'm sure it will end up with issues as all printers seem to but it seems better for now).
.
Print quality is probably a step up from the older printer, but that could be because the new one is running on the supplied Canon inks, whilst the old one was running on compatible inks (and had been for ages - the failure was not related to that). Since I can not afford to pay more than the price of the printer at every ink refill (a set of Canon inks cost more than the printer), I will reassess the prnt quality once it is on to the compatible inks.
In every other regard the iP7250 is a significant step back from the old iP5200R.
Compared to the old iP5200R:
iP7250 will not auto-power-off if connected to the network (you must use it as a solo USB printer for power management to work)
iP7250 once switched off (manually, it won't auto power off if networked...) will not wake-on-lan when you try to print the following day.
iP7250 has no ethernet connection
iP7250 has only half the paper tray capacity (A4 paper)
iP7250 spend ages doing housekeeping, doubtless wasting ink and filling its limited-lifetime (non user-replaceable sponge
iP7250 is noisier on normal setting
iP7250 is slower on quiet setting
iP7250 has no direct paper feed for heavy paper stock
iP7250 has smaller cartridges which also cost more per cartridge
I am at a loss to see how Canon justifies its printer R&D over the last ten years. There is nothing about this printer to recommend it over a ten year old model, and much that is a genuine step back in performance, cost and convenience. It seems to have been designed purely to accommodate the requirements of other models in the range to have a scanner unit bolted on top, hence the restrictions on the paper feed and paper tray arrangements.
One part of the instruction manual is on over 800 pages . there is a second instruction Manuel the second one is also about the same size so you will soon run out of ink if you print both on this printer .
The ink cartridges are very small, so will soon run out of ink.
Most computer users have a Copy of Photoshop or better still Faststone image viewer .so I se no need for all the fancy image manipulating software that comes with this printer.
It has now been returned to the seller .
The supplied software is hopeless, too. Luckily it works with other software - including Canon's older CD print application
1. There is no manual feed facility and the bottom tray feed will not handle any (and I mean any) photo paper. The manual warns you not to use any paper thicker than 105gsm(!) and refers to Canon Special Media photo paper. I have searched and cannot find any reference to what "special media" means. So it is not possible to print A4 photos at all. (My previous Canon worked well through the manual feed top loading - until it jammed).
2. Cartridges are exorbitantly priced and "compatible" cartridges disable the ink level monitoring. A deliberate tactic by Canon to create a monopoly and keep prices high.
DON'T BUY.
Comes with a set of INKS, But I prefer the Compatables
The default setting is to power off after 240 minutes. When you power on, the printer goes through its head cleaning routine which takes time and ink. Set the 'auto-power off' to disable and the printer works both speedily and uses much less ink.
GET THE CABLE IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO LAPTOP/PC
Else just go wireless
Will get back to update shortly on the Printing to Disc section
For under
The ink quality itself is great, and the price is awesome too. Delivery was prompt and everything like that.
BUT there is no grey cartridge.
In fairness, it doesn't say there is a grey cartridge included, but the title says they're compatible with the MG7150 so it's natural to assume these are all the cartridges for that printer. I bought these at the same time as my MG7150 (thus not knowing what cartridges it used) and so trusted that these cartridges were all I needed, but they are missing the grey one.
As such, I'll probably try elsewhere next time.
Print quality, once set up, was pretty good.
Would benefit from a written manual not a CD.
I wouldn't recommend it.
On the downside, the printer comes with a setup CD which has a very old-fashioned and fragmented install program; it requires full admin account login from start to finish; it doesn't allow user to select target install folder or menu; it installs 11 programs with each in a separate menu folder making the All Programs folder very untidy.
Once I'd run each program to see if it was of use to me, and found that most of them weren't, I uninstalled each one in turn leaving just the printer, scanner, drivers and manual.
The Bad
- Wifi is unreliable. It has a habit of turning the wifi off, so you need to physically ‘wake up’ the printer before it’ll even think about printing over wifi, which it’ll probably refuse to do anyway, because it hates you.
- Out of ink? Need to use the scanner? Think again, my friend! That’s right, if the printer has decided it needs a new cartridge, it will refuse to scan anything. That’s great programming right there.
- It drinks ink faster than my Gran demolishes her Sunday brandy.
- It’s very, VERY slow.
The Good
- It’s pretty much entirely made of horrid, brittle plastic and, with its shoddy build quality, I’m confident that it won’t be long until it self-destructs, and I’ll be free of this crappy device.
The foot print of the Pro 100 is quite big and it's quite heavy at 19kg (26kg net weight in the box), but as long as you
have a suitable table to keep it on, then it's not much of a problem. Canon have helpfully packaged the printer in such a way that you have handles to lift it out of the box and to carry it. While the Ink appears expensive, the quality of the finished prints is as good as what you can get from various print suppliers. Printer setup is best done using the supplied USB cable, then you can set it up for Wifi or an Ethernet connection. I recommend downloading the mini setup tool from Canon, as it makes connecting the printer to Wifi or Ethernet much easier.
Who would I recommend this printer to ? Photographers who want to take control of every step of creating a photograph from taking it, editing in Lightroom/Photoshop to printing it.
It is my third printer in a year, I had it replaced twice and will just bin it this time. All of them has the same problem, either does not pick up or jam paper smaller than A4. I wasted so much paper with it that can't even bothered to send it to Canon to have it replaced again. The print quality is nice, however it can not handle any thicker paper. Would never recommend if you are looking to print other than A4 size documents
I wanted a photo printer that did just that - not one that tries to be a fax and a scanner as well. I had no need for the wi-fi option but a USB cable was supplied to get around that.
Results are good. It can be a tad noisy compared to the Canon Pixma iP4500 that it replaced, but it has a Quiet Setting (don't know what the trade-off has been when using this mode, but surely there must be one, or it would run quieter all the time?). There is no back feed, but it takes my 200gsm gloss photo paper which appears to have no difficulty in traveling round the rollers and back on itself. This makes for a smaller desk footprint that is further enhanced by the fact that the paper tray are situated in the base of the actual printer, which I like.
Regular plain paper printing is great as it can print both sides of a sheet of 80gsm paper, so can half your expense for that kind of material.
There are lots of printing gizmos included, that enable to include your photographs in templates that provide a number of useful printed items and the available range of settings mean that this a very flexible printer by any standard.
When you hit your "Print" icon, the paper delivery flap pops out automatically and doesn't have to clutter your desk for the duration.
I like this printer very much so far and if it gives me the quality and length of service that its Canon predecessor did I shall consider it money well spent.
I had to pay
