Canon Image Class D570 Monochrome Laser Printer with Scanner and Copier - Black

Update: It's been over a month and everything is still working great. I've used the unit a few times for printing, scanning, and copying stuff since and it's all good, even double sided prints are great. We had a power outage too and it did not affect the printer any.It's been a week since I received this item so I wanted to take the time to review it because I've been living with an HP inkjet printer/copier/scanner combo for the past decade and in the recent years, I find that I am using it less and less, but there's always some need for it once every couple of months or so and I'll find that the ink has always gone dry and so I end up buying new ink for it every time I need to use the printer.Frustrated with that, I started searching for a good laser printer/copier/scanner combo for the past few months, but everyone just recommends Brother and their cheapest combo model runs twice the price of this printer and nearly 3x the price of my inkjet. After further research, I found that some people run into an issue with laser printer using a lot of power and potentially setting off the breaker. This unit in comparison appears to run with less power (for a laser printer) and I'm happy to report that I haven't had any issues with it tripping the breaker or any issues with it waking up instantly from sleep mode when I need to print off the network.First, I did check the reviews here and note some people having issues with the wi-fi, so I skipped all that and got myself an ethernet cable along with the printer. I set up the printer near the router and just plugged my printer directly to it via the ethernet cable. Then, I went to their website and downloaded the recommended driver. Run it and it should scan and detect your printer. If it doesn't, make sure your printer is on and is plugged in to router. Additionally, someone here said to use a static IP so I set that up on my router as well for this printer, even though the driver installation had no issues finding the printer even without that step, but I figure if I can skip a possible issue down the line, why not?The last thing you need to know is that after installing the driver on any PCs you want to connect it to, you will want to run or look in the system tray for Canon MF Network Scanner Selector and make sure it is checked ok and running in the system tray. This will allow the machine to detect your PC and you can scan directly to any PC where you have this set up. Otherwise you will need to trigger the scan from the PC which is less convenient if the PC is not next to the printer.The whole setup took less than 10 minutes, I'm not sure why so many people had issues or claim that the setup is super complicated when it is no more complicated than any other printer on the market. Most of the time was spent on removing the tape from the machine itself and plugging it in. Just make sure you follow the directions to remove the orange plastic pieces on the toner.After setting it up, I tested printing from a PC, copying an ID card directly on the machine without any PC involved (great feature by the way, you can print both sides of the ID on one page). I also tested scanning the ID card to my PC and it worked with no issues. The print/copy also came out great without any special tweaking on the printer itself. The machine has a lot of options, but you can leave most of it on default and it does the job fine. Then, I let it sleep and tried printing on another machine the following day to see if it is able to wake up ok after sleeping overnight and I found that it printed almost instantly, taking almost no time to wake up. I tested again a week later (today), and printed 14 pages double-sided and it perfectly printed both sides to 7 pieces of paper perfectly without any extra intervention from me.I also really appreciate the understated features such as being able to tilt the panel to make it easier to see if you are taller like me and the cleverly designed multi-piece cover that covers the entirety of the paper tray so that the paper won't catch any dust sitting there for months. Also, the scanner top also allows you to pull up a bit to scan thicker objects like a textbook for example without leaving the top up.I'm really happy with the purchase so far and I'm so glad that I found this laser printer combo for this price. I will be sure to update if my experience changes

I purchased the well over a year and a half ago and it is still in perfect working condition. I absolutely love it. It works great and well worth the money. I highly recommend.

Bought this because of price. I have has good luck with Brother, but this was considerably cheaper. Setup was easy, despite a the abysmal "instructions" provided. Display is small and unintuitive, but functional. But wireless connectivity is good, and print quality a little light but clean. New app for ios and android is a MAJOR improvement over their old app

Most people no longer have DVD/CD drives so the disk in the box (which would be out of date anyway) is useless. I felt like I was back decades in the access to the real manual and drivers using the info in the box. The real manual and the drivers ae easily accessable at usa.canon.com. The manual is a pdf file with clear and easy to read information. There are three drivers/files, an MF Driver and a MF Scanutility and a Toner Status zip file if you want to remotely check the toner status but you don't need to install it and I didn't. If you don' want Canon looking at what you are doing for 10 years after the installs go to apps and uninstall the Canon Survey program. This is very good printer for a small office or home with multiple PCs. You can use network drop or wireless along with a USB cable at the same time. Once you have the files it takes only a few minutes to install and get things going. Actually, in Windows 11 the Windows drivers were good enough to get printing wireless or USB right away. But do the real install from the start - it's better. Key note - just as the warning sticker states on the printer - DO NOT ATTACH THE USB CABLE untlil the MF Driver install tells you to. Also don't even turn on the printer yet. When the program tells you to connect the cable do so and THEN turn on the printer so Plug and Play install works. The printer is fast and prints well. The cart it comes with is not a full 137 cartidge but a starter one that's about half full. You will still get over a thousand pages out of it. Still a good deal. It would have been perfect if the info in the box directed you to the right Canon site in the first place usa.canon.com. The files which you can easily find are in usa.canon.com/support/software-and-drivers. You just download them and run them, no big deal and little to think about. One last thing, in all Apps you wil find the Canon section with the scan app to do scans from the PC. My review and explanation was for a Windows 11 laptop.

I had this printer since 2018. Worked very well with Windows 10. Once I moved to Windows 11, I had nothing but struggle. The most up-to-date driver package for Windows 11 installs, but computer cannot communicate with printer. You cannot print and cannot scan. Canon has no advice how to fix it. Canon discussion forum has some workarounds (apparently, it is a very common problem with Windows 11 and Canon in general, and this model of printer in particular). The best workaround is to manually delete all Canon drivers, let Windows find a driver from its driver pool. Multiple reboots and disconnection and connection of USB. This works for printer, but scanner functionality is lost. You still cannot use Canon scanning software, although Windows Fax and Scan utility worked until recently... until WIndows installed an update which broke everything again. After another couple of hours of struggles, I made printer work again, but completely lost scanning ability and have no idea how to get it back. Computer cannot find scanner. Two options - go back to Windows 10, which unlike Windows 11 works with Canon, or buy a new printer in hope that it would work. Considering that my printer is already 7 years old, I decided to go with option 2, new multifunction device is on order, and it is not a Canon. I am done with Canon printers.
