PIXMA TR7820 – Wireless Home All-in-One Printer

I had a HP Officejet printer that I've used since 2011-2012. Nice little all in one printer but I got a printhead not found issue. The issue might have been ink cartridge related and new ink ($110) might have fixed it, but rather than take the risk I figured I would buy a new printer because it wouldn't cost much more than that. Enter the Cannon PIXMA TR7820. $130 delivered and it came with ink. Set up very quickly. Print and copy quality is solid. The auto feeder for scanning is much better than my HP (keeps the pages straight). My only concern buying this was would it integrates with Google Drive, which is where I like to scan my documents to? Sure enough it handles this quite well. You can spend more and get a nicer printer that can scan/copy/print faster and in higher quality, but if you don't need that then why pay for it? As a bonus replacement ink is reasonable. $45 for regular black and color cartridges or $75 for the XL versions.

Chose this Canon after 2 wks of research.. was so excited to get it after issues w previous HP. Assembled easily once out of box... Very heavy. Loved the look. That's where all positivity ended. The 1 page titled EASY SETUP was just 3 cartoon like pictures with no written directions. How hard could it be? Turned it on and answered 3 questions on the display.. chose English and agreed to auto updates. Exit. At this point the App Canon Print was supposed to take over but it didn't say that! I had to Google it. So...app was ready but the display was showing the top of the unit opening and closing where it had showed paper placement. From that point on that picture in the display NEVER varied! Never went back/forward, never responded to the app or anything I did, including unplugging, restarting resetting.... NOTHING affected the stuck display. Several calls to Tech Support had the same result. Tried to connect via my Samsung Android.. at 1 point it said printer was ready but it was NOT ready. It was stuck in the very early setup process where it stayed! My issue now is to repurchase this Canon TR7820 as it may have just been a defective unit or go back to my HP All in One printer that worked but had issues with multiple Tech Support charges that were very expensive and frequent. Opinions are welcome. The Canon had the best reviews and tho many commented on the Starr Up page most were able to get set up and working fairly easily! Unit is on the way back and want to decide if I should reorder and try this again! Very frustrated!

I have had this printer for a while now. Definitely worth the purchase. Easy to set up and use. The scanner works great and it has the two sided printing too which comes in handy. Has two different trays to feed paper in. I mainly just use the bottom drawer for paper. I also use it wirelessly and it works great too. The ink is really easy to change out when needed too.

This is good for moderate home use. The print quality is great, but the black ink cartridge runs out pretty fast. I've noticed at times it takes a long time to print files when sent from certain mobile devices. I recently upgraded my phone to the galaxy fold 7 and it works perfectly with it.

Nice printer. If you have the canon print app it’s easier to set up because printer comes with no instructions. Perfect for home use. Does it all. Print, copy, scan and fax.

As with most base-tier multifunction printers, this one has its faults. The ADF has never worked. It has never identified a sheet(s) placed into the feeder. Need to copy a multipage document? Do it one sheet at a time on the platen glass. Need to scan a multipage document? Manually place each page on the platen glass and tap "scan". The Canon TR7820 is a basic printer dressed up to look like a multifunction device.

Good printer and easy to use. Would not hesitate to buy this printer brand again.

1. When it is working, this printer does very well. The Scan feature is much more sophisticated than my old HP 4-in-1 device. In most ways it is user-friendly. And I repeat, when it is working- or more precisely, when it is connected to my PC. 2. The setup did not go smoothly and took much longer and more effort than previous printers I have owned. 3. Repeatedly this printer goes “off line” and says there is no connection to WiFi. I have a good WiFi-Router and our TV has no problems receiving it or staying connected to it four rooms away.. This printer is sitting next to the WiFi router and can’t seem to stay connected. It takes up WAY too much of my time getting it re-connected so that I can print something. 4. If I had to use one word to describe this printer, I would say, “annoying.” 5. I probably WOULD NOT buy this printer again knowing what I know now. I should have paid more attention to those reviewers who warned me that this printer had problems staying connected to WiFi. 6. I almost NEVER write negative reviews and I waited nearly two months before I wrote this. I am pretty tech-savvy and I am about 98% certain problems with this printer are not my fault. Addendum October 20, 2024: I probably would give this printer just one star now. Recently it insisted on updating the software. I should have refused. It took me over an hour to get it reconnected to my desktop and printing normally. The printer has slipped from the irritating to the maddening category. In retrospect (everything is 20/20 in the rearview mirror), I should have tried harder to get a printer with both a Wi-Fi AND a hard-wired connection. Like my old printer. Also I should have paid more attention to the reviewers who mentioned how expensive the ink is for this printer… my bad. 2nd addendum August 20, 2025: I have now downgraded my rating to one star. This printer worked reasonably well for a few days or weeks at a time and it is now back to its old tricks. The worst of which is in inability to stay connected to my desktop PC. I spent 45 minutes trying to get it reconnected last night. I think it is time to throw in the towel and get another printer. This one is not heavy enough to use for a boat anchor and is too bulky to use as a doorstop... It has now entered the category of worthless piece of dung.
