Setup: Getting this up and running for me was an all day process but the fault was my own. I spent hours trying to breeze through it with no luck but had I taken the time to read, I would have save myself a lot of time and a minor headache. Installing the download provided for PC and the app provided for smartphone is essential. If the directions are followed and in order, there's no reason why this item shouldn't be up and running and ready to perform any task via any connection within maybe aa quickly as 15 min. An hour tops depending on your PCs installation speed I suppose. But it's a fairly quick process if done correctly.
USB: Mine did not come with a USB plus, luckily I was able to use my old one but once hooked up it worked with no problems
WiFi: Works Flawlessly from both phone and laptop but was difficult setting up since you have to enter your WiFi password into the printer settings and there are NO instructions on how to enter Numbers, symbols or capital letters. I had to just play around with it til I figured it out while keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't create an irreversible error in the process. (The star key pressed before each button will allow numbers, symbols and caps. Have to press multiple times in some cases to reach desired character) Also for phones, you have to use the app provided. Which works just fine as well.
Sound: I've seen a few complaints about how noisy and loud this printer is but there is actually a quiet setting which you can turn on permanently or even set to only have it on during hours of your choice.
Paper Jam/Ink Problems: I have not experienced any paper jams or ink issues and I have printed quite a few documents AND images from phone AND laptop via WiFi AND usb using black ink AND color. I notice most paper Jam complaints later notice it's an easy fix and also upon arrival it seemed it could have been quite easy to damage if not handle carefully straight out the box.
Price: As I write this review this product is currently going for $55.24. I purchased mine a few days ago for $34.99 so I'm glad I bought it when I did. I see a lot of printers being sold used for $20 but without ink. Add the ink and the total becomes at LEAST $35+ for a USED item! So for $34.99-a brand new, refundable, well known brand name product, with both ink cartridges included, and all of it's functions and capabilities, I'd say this is a steal!
Scan: Incredible/Instant
Print: Flawless/Fast
Copy: Spectacular/Speedy
Fax: Unused/Unknown
All in all after reading the negative reviews I am very glad that I geared more toward the positive ones. Electronics are generally built to fail at some point so even if in the end this printer begins to encounter problems, I'll simply take comfort in the fact that I only spent $34.99 on a name brand product that performed many functions and offered multiple connection methods as well as a varitey of additional settings. Having this device almost makes the fact that my last printer abruptly stopped working a bit exciting. This one does much more, looks much nicer and is far more advanced. Fax, copy, print, scan, wifi connection, usb connection, PC, tablet and phone usage. I'm not sure what more one could ask for from a printer....especially at $34.99.

Top reviews from other countries
Other than a single problem swapping it from a wireless configuration to a wired one this printer has worked flawlessly. Ink is relatively cheap and I have yet to have this jam or malfunction.
Pros:
Easy to set up
Cons:
Basically need to reinstall if you swap it from one setup to another.
Setup is a bit complicated if you're on an Apple device. I'm more techy than most, so if you get frustrated easily... maybe have someone help you.
I set this up using the Canon app associated via my iPhone. No issues there, I was able to print from my iPhone 6s easily.
It's setting it up with my Mac Air that has been a pain in the butt!! Firstly, it took downloading and running the .dmg setup file a few times for it to actually open a setup menu (the first couple times, clicking on the icon did nothing but I kept re-downloading the .dmg file until it worked). Eventually, I got the setup menu to run. However, the second issue, in order for you to even finish setup in its entirety, you are required to connect your Mac to the printer but there was no additional cord and/or USB 2.0 adapter for me to actually do so. You can buy these on Amazon, thank goodness - Ugreen USB 2.0 High Speed 480Mbps Printer Scanner Cable Cord A Male to B Male for HP, Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Dell, Xerox, Samsung etc, 5ft/1.5m .
I just ordered one so I won't be able to update for a couple days. I have a feeling it will work, but I might have to also use my thunderbolt / HDMI adapter - VicTsing Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable, High Resolution 4Kx2K Thunderbolt Mini Displayport DP to HDMI HDTV Adapter Cable For Apple MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac mini, Microsoft Surface Pro, ThinkPad X1,etc - since I find installs often don't work if you use a USB port on a Mac Air (at least on mine, anyway - I have to connect directly to the thunderbolt port and not a USB port whenever I want to install something extra, like a printer). If that ends up being the case, I'll update my review.
Quick next day update:
It's still working with the app but I just wanted to add that I bought the printer + ink bundle and was surprised to see the printer already came with ink (black and colour). I don't mind having extra on hand, though, just wanted to point that out.
Update: March 11th 2017
I was correct in needing the additional USB 2.0 cable cord in order to run the installation on my Mac Air, what I did not need was the thunderbolt adapter though. It worked by plugging into the USB port next to the thunderbolt port. I stand by my original review in that I think this printer is very PC user-friendly, but a bit of an ordeal for Apple products. If I was someone with zero knowledge on adapters and add-on cable cords, this would be very difficult to set up.
I hope this helps confused Apple users.
