What a pain reading reviews of the major printer manufacturers to get an idea which one might be the best one. We are all Mac in our house. We aren't really interested in printing from phones and tablets (although that's nice), our laptops had to work with this. They do. We have M2 Macs on Sonoma so we're good there. We're doing everything wirelessly.
I actually own two Canons right now, but one is so old it doesn't talk to our Macs any. more (more than 15 years). We just kept it around for faxing. I also have a Canon D530 black and white laser printer which otherwise only scans and copies and doesn't have fax capability, go figure. I got it on a lightning deal years ago for $79 with toner so I couldn't pass on that.
Ok on to this TR4720. I decided to stick with Canon, even though there were quite a few bad reviews on it. I think some people aren't too smart when it comes to tech, or legitimately received a bad unit. I'm happy to once again be able to wirelessly print with this unit. I like that I can wireless scan and it just puts the image in my photos folder. It prints color well enough for me (the real reason I wanted to purchase this).
The one thing that was the most difficult to figure out was how to send a fax. Canon has an official testing fax number so Google and you'll find it. HP has one too. The Canon instructions are a mess and way too complex for what should be a simple process. I looked at some videos which were all very bad, but one provided just enough insight into how to do this. It's very unintuitive how you send a fax because you don't press the fax button. Check this out.
1. Put your sheet to fax in the automatic document feeder/or on the scanner glass.
2. Press the Start button on the left (the black and white copy button).
3. Dial the number you want to call.
4. As soon as you hear the fax sound over the Canon's really poor speaker, press the Start button again.
5. Your document will start feeding in and the transmission will complete shortly.
6. Since my Canon is daisy chained to my landline phone (and I set the phone to be priority on the Canon) I wait for the reply fax to call my phone.
7. Answer or put the phone on speaker.
8. When you hear the fax sound, then press the Start button on the Canon and it begins receiving.
9. Hang up the phone once you have the document.
My biggest gripe is the LCD screen which I can't read unless I shine my phone's flashlight into it. I wish this was backlit.
Another feature I like is going into Settings on my Mac and going into the printer. There are a ton of settings that can be configured, and maintenance cycles. It will also tell you your ink levels. I used the starter cartridges it came with and after printing 8 pages of full color and 6 pages of black and white single sided the color ink level is at about 15% and the black is about 33%.

An inexpensive printer for Artist's imagination !
This printer takes Stratmore injet Watercolor Paper ! Yes it does ! Paint a water color, scan it. Thats the master, frame it, hang it on your wall! Then simply copy the master with one sheet of Strarhmore injet watercolor paper from the saved scan. These are all 8X11 sheets. Now sell them, and let the customer frame them. The printer is a Canon TR4720. Just a note: Don't ever buy a Epsom !!! It could not perform this task. Tech support is not rated cause I haven't used it yet, and probably never will because this is the easiest printer in the world to set up. The computers just talk to each other and in 10 seconds its done.
