Customer Review: A flexible, reliable, workhorse - I own three!
Summary: 5 Stars
The MF4150 is an excellent product. I purchased one for home, and found it so useful that I obtained two more at work for my assistant and I. You can't beat the features you get for this price, and toner is quite reasonable for this machine, too. Customer Review: Good for the Money, but Slightly Obsolete
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace a HP 1012, which I gave to my brother. For $130, I have, at the least, a very good printer and copier. Just avoiding the inconvenience of going to a copying shop to copy a few pages is worth a great deal, particularly since I tend to procrastinate. I don't fax much, but faxing seems to work fine. I don't have a web site, so I don't need to scan.
The duplex printing is a pleasure, but does not seem to work with .pdf files. Since I have few problems with paper handling when I print odd then even sides, that has not been a major difficulty. Only happens after printing over a hundred or so pages. Let the machine cool a bit.
I have had the same problem with the fax chiming in over regular phone calls as others mention. Since I usually leave the machine off to save energy, that has not been a major problem.
What HAS emerged as a problem is the absence of a Canon driver for Linux. In particular, LinuxMint has emerged as an excellent, free, user-friendly operating system based on Ubuntu. (Version 7 came out last week.) I have to save files to Windows XP in order to print them on this Canon. Also, of course, I have to maintain Windows XP as a viable installation.
Overall, for $130 this has been a bargain, with some noted limitations.
Customer Review: Outstanding compact duplex printing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the MF4150 for 18 months. It is outstanding. To get true duplex printing for this price is amazing, and the copying and scanning works as advertised as well. The only drawback for me right now is that the MF Toolbox software, which allows you to control scans (including direct-to-PDF scans) has not been updated to work with Windows 7 beta, and the Vista version refuses to install correctly. Still, the printer driver works just fine in Windows 7 beta, so it's a perfectly functional multifunction device, I just can't control scans.Customer Review: Canon Multi Function 4150 Laser is an excellent product. Canon rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon MF 4150 is a joy to use with my home office Dell system. I copy alot of documents and then scan them, in order to email them along to colleagues. I'm very pleased with how easy and quick everything is. It's actually fun to use! Two minor complaints: sometimes when you scan a 4 or 5 page document, a page or two will scan crooked or tilted. There may be a way to correct this, but I haven't looked into that yet, as it is not too big a problem. Also, regarding faxing, you can slow the fax speed down and it will work over a digital phone line, though Canon will tell you it will not work reliably over a digital line because it is an analog fax. Wish it was a digital fax, but those are expensive and I only paid $150 for this super product. Canon tech support through their 800 phone line is absolutely amazing. They pick up either immediately or within 30 seconds and every person who came to the phone on three separate occasions helped me with ease and completely. Canon rocks! I love this machine and and I love Canon. Customer Review: Excellent printer/fax/copier!
