Canon PIXMA TS705a Single Function Inkjet Printer – A4, Print Only – 5 Single Inks – Auto 2-Sided Print – 350-Sheet Input – WiFi, Ethernet Connectivity

Good little printer
Very good simple little printer, Easy to set up and works well with windows 11. Just a nice simple printer that takes reasonably priced compatible cartridges and does what the package says. Prints good quality pages and holds lots of paper. Wireless connectivity is also perfect for both phone and router. Although you can also use cable. No scanner but as I have a high quality photo scanner that addition was not required. It also works with windows 10 and it was easy to move across to the new windows once it was upgraded to 11. As long as it lasts as long as my last canon printer I will be very happy.

A well made and highly functional ink-jet printer
I’m just getting used to it. Canon appear to have made it as foolproof as possible to use. When compared with my previous printers (a Brother HL 1250 and a HP colour laser 1600) it is definitely less sturdy – I would have preferred it if it was built of plastic that was approx 50% thicker – it is sturdy enough to allow me to handle it with reasonable care but I would not like to use it in a busy office where users may not be gentle. For its price I consider it to be very good value. It takes time to learn how to use it. The online user manual is quite helpful but lacks an index at the end – I suppose that I could use a search engine to find the information that I want but the manual (just the English part) runs to over 400 pages (many of which are only a few lines). I found an orange coloured plastic moulding, attached only by an orange length of sellotape (which the manufacturers use for securing lids and other similar parts when packaging it for delivery in its quite sturdy packing carton. I still have not been able to identify what or where it comes from (it’s not a broken off part) but the printer works perfectly well without it! Setting up was well documented and reasonably straight forward – the wireless connection to my modem worked very easily.The primer operates fairly quietly and the results are good printed documents. I don’t think that it is particularly user serviceable apart from changing ink cartridges and filling it with paper. AI seems to have excluded intervention by the amateur, but as I say, for the price paid, it does seem to be reasonably disposable (the user guide even goes into detail about that too!)

Pain to set up
This prints fine and photos are good. When it arrived tried to set up and disc wouldn’t load, restarted computer about 3 times and it eventually loaded. Got it working through wi-fi and also on phone, all seemed well. Turned things off and was away for 4 days, when I came back and tried to print something it kept saying computer offline, although on line on the phone. After a couple of hours trying to reload the set up program and it still not working I deleted the printer and removed programs then connected it by USB, got the computer to find it and windows found and downloaded the drivers, currently working, we shall see!!

HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN!
A palaver getting it to print. Have to keep pressing the OK button or turn on and off as the orange warning light keeps coming on, to get it to start. Then often stops half way through the print run, and the orange light comes on. Asks for the rear paper tray to be loaded when it’s set for front paper loading (So I put some paper in the rear tray, and it starts printing – TAKING PAPER FROM THE FRONT TRAY!). Often prints double-sided even though set up for single-sided. Asks me to load more paper when there’s plenty of paper in the cassette – I just pull the cassette out and push back in, and hey presto it prints. Often pulls through two or three sheets of paper. (Good quality A4 paper). If I try to print from my mobile it usually throws up an error message – very occasionally it will print. Sometime prints Landscape when it’s set to portrait. Etc. It’s not fit for purpose – I should really send back, but I suspect the Seller (or Canon?) will ask me if this or that is set, how is it connected, etc. I’m not techie, and can’t be bothered getting involved – I just want a printer that prints first time when I ask it to. Not too much to ask ids it?

The menu screen has no back lit light.

Livraison, certes sans emballages (dans son carton d’origine), dans un délai plus court que prévu. Une installation simple même avec en fonctionnement en wifi : le menu proposé par le cd d’installation est facile à appliquer . La qualité et la rapidité d’impression sont à la hauteur espérée . Très bon produit.

La mention numérisation recto/verso peut induire en erreur. Plusieurs sites signalent cette imprimante comme mono fonction. J’ai demandé l’annulation de la commande après l’avoir découvert.
