Cons

The cannon 492 is the slowest printer i have ever used. I see cannon has went back to the scam ink cartridge where all the colours are in one cartridge.

Never registers that there is paper available. When it does it * up the whole pile and jams. It eats the paper, gets jammed, and there's no reliable method to keepthis from happening.

The printer is so difficult to set up. Difficult and counter-intuitive installation. Just about impossible to setup. Wifi always a problem.

It's just way too aggravating, to have to almost constantly uninstall and reinstall it. Software is poor. The display is a tiny lcd that has no backlight. If this can be returned for a new sleeker updated version.
