Excellent printer for small business use
The Canon MF284dw is an excellent all-in-one printer for home or small office use. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have been consistently impressed by its fast print speed, sharp text quality, and reliable wireless connectivity. Setup was straightforward, and the touchscreen interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. The duplex printing and scanning features save time and paper, which is a big plus. It’s also relatively quiet during operation. My only minor complaint is that it’s a bit bulky, but the performance more than makes up for the size. Overall, it’s a solid investment for anyone needing a dependable, high-quality monochrome laser printer.

Easy to set up. Works on Chromebook without Play Store!
I had to replace my 15+ yo Canon MFP. I chose this printer because it supports ethernet and Chromebook. It was very easy to set up. After going through the menu on the printer to get it on the network, it showed a URL to go to from your devices. I selected the printer model, and it detected the printer and the operating system and installed the necessary drivers. This worked flawlessly on Windows 10 and 11. What surprised me was, on my Chromebook, it said I needed to install an app from the Play Store, which I don’t have enabled (my preference). There was also a link on how to print from Chromebooks, which was just to print, and selecting the printer. And it worked! I saved the printer and set it as the default.It only takes a few seconds to start printing, and the quality is as expected. Some inside plastic parts feel a bit flimsy, but this is not a commercial printer. I like the paper cassette – it’s an actual drawer that you open to load the paper into (my old printer was not like this). I have not tried scanning or printing from a phone.

What’s beyond “abysmal”?
Since 2008, I have had a trusty, problem-free Canon MF4150. This is the heir-apparent, and a logical choice when upgrading my laptop and scanner-copier-printer MultiFunction device. After hours upon hours of trouble-shooting, and being unsuccessful in installing the scanner portion (the heaviest duty portion for me) of the software, this MF284dw made a U-turn back to Amazon.Amazon would not do an exchange, only a refund. I believe the 284 I received was faulty, with a glitch in the circuitry between the MF’s USB-B port (port worked fine for local *printing*) and the scan hardware. In Windows’ Device Manager, the 284 did not show up on either of two laptops (Win 10 on one, Win 11 on the other) when directly connected via USB-A to USB-B (working cables x 2 as proved by printing). The scan did work wireless, but with about a 20- to 30-sec lag for each page, totally unworkable for me.Because Amazon would not do an exchange, I ordered a competitor product through Sam’s for exactly the same price to the penny. Oh My Fair Godmother (as they say in Disenchanted, another word that describes my 284 experience), what a difference. Installation for that was almost as simple as download the software and press one-button for complete WiFi installation. Scanning so fast it’s like the old “Lucy” clip where she can’t keep up trying to get the pies off the conveyor belt. This new machine connects via 5G. The 284 only has the ability to connect at 2.4G. The new one has a separate feeder for odd sizes in addition to the paper drawer, the more traditional setup.For the same $$, the other (new) one is much superior. Am so glad I ended up with the new one, hopefully for the next 15-20 years.

Canon ImageClass MF264dw II Excellent product
This is my second Canon laser printer. My first is 15 yrs old and still working fine. It just isn’t Wifi capable. It is heading to DAV to find a new home. This printer after three weeks works great. I needed a Wifi laser printer so I could print and scan from my laptop. After watching a few youtube videos I was able to hook it up with no problem. One thing not covered by the directions or the videos was obtaining the “MF scan utility”. It’s automatically downloaded from the internet with the main driver so you only have to look for it and make a shortcut on your desktop. I use it to scan documents from my laptop. It also works on my desktop. But then I found that this new printer scans from the printer and you can direct which computer the scans are sent to using the printer control panel! However, the scan utility works much better, has more options and gives you more control, and makes all the pages of a scan into a single pdf document. I haven’t figured out how to do that using the printer control panel. I have also used the “print on both sides” function a lot. Really handy. The automatic paper feeder works also. I very much recommend this printer. Amazon was very gentle in delivery and Canon packed it super-well. It’s a keeper.

This is an OK printer but there are some minor downsides. 1. It’s frickin’ huge. 2. The display is frickin’ small. 3. It is tedious to input the wifi information. 4. It doesn’t default to the paper drawer, you need to disable the other option using the menus. That took me a minute. But, nonetheless, it seems like a pretty solid printer. My staff is hard on things so we shall see how it holds up.
