For example, they mention that it has issues using the wireless connection, and it doesn't like to connect from a MacBook Pro laptop computer through a wireless. The wireless setup continues to fail, and the printer loses the WiFi connection on a regular basis.

I believe the printer will perform acceptably with lower grade paper. I have run through a couple in the past. But it does need to be inkjet paper. Now a note in inks. My previous Canon printer I switched later in its life to generic brand inks.The quality was pretty variable, but the cost savings were huge. I was happy to save the money. That was until the last bull purchase (a deal with four sets of cartridges.) One month into those cartridges I started getting problems... they quickly degenerated as well. The print quality went off the cliff, I started even getting occasional bobs. No amount of deep cleaning helped. In fact it made it worse. I did manage to extract the cartridges and replace with a set of canon cartridges. However, the damage was done. I tried cleaning the heads. No improvement. It clearly damaged the nozzles at a very fundamental level. I gave up and donated the printer to Goodwill. I have seen a number of complaints in the reviews on print quality, clogged heads etc. In my experience if you try to save a buck it will be at the expense of longevity of the printer. It may even be worse for a home user where the print volume is perhaps much lower than a commercial office.
On cartridge page volume I have ,measured this relative to paper ream usage. In my experience with normal letter type publication, web printing and so forth the cartridge life seems to vary between 1,100 and 1,500 pages. The variance is also in part due to the duplex printing mode. That said a solid page of one color will totally throw off those numbers. I know because it has on occasion happened. Remember you can go into the print que and abort! Alsoa. solid page of black looks pretty uneven in color depth presentation. Laser printers are way superior in this regard.
Finally connectivity. The is an easy printer to set up in my opinion. The Canon drivers are solid and support the product well. I use this printer with Chrome books, Windows 10 Laptops, iPads and Macs. One of the Macs is at OS 11 (Big Sur). The last point here, there are new drivers available on Canon's website that support Mac OS 11 even though that is not called out in the Amazon listing. It is possible they may not come with your printer, and you may ave to search them out. I don't know as I bought my printer several years ago. I've used this printer with USB in the past. I used it with Ethernet, and currently with Wi-fi. Works well with all three.
In conclusion, good medium-low volume all-in one printer. Features good connectivity, reasonable paper tray capacity (might be a little small for a commercial office), it is in my experience reliable. Scanners are however prone to failed bits (black lines). My current and previous Canon all-in-one's experienced that degradation. Printer life, of my last printer was severely shortened using non-Canon ink cartridges. As with all printer manufacturer cartridges they are too highly priced, although these do have reasonable page life. You can recycle these with Office Max/Staples. Recommended for Home Offices Everywhere! Commercial high volume use might be pushing this investment - check the manufacturer's specified duty cycle. Alternatives would be all-in-one laser printer solutions, but the starting price is typically considerably higher. Also those units typically come with low volume starter cartridges which cost a lost to replace.
UPDATE: I have been using Amazon for...well, my first order was back when they mostly sold books and little else. 98% of our orders have been very well handled. When the occasional issue arose, Amazon was always very quick to respond in a customer honoring fashion. Then along came this printer. It is the single worst printer we have ever tried to use. If you read the above submission, you will see how we discovered the printer was not legally sold in the USA. The seller completely denied any responsibility and told us to talk with Canon. Being that Canon verifies the printer as not legal for US sales, they have not been of help. Meanwhile we contacted Amazon a month ago and after much transferring about, were told that someone would be in touch within 24 hours. This was nearly a month ago and still no response and no assistance from Amazon. It is as if each entity, from Amazon to the seller to Canon is saying "tough luck you bought and we will not help you in any fashion. Oh, so it wasn't legally sold for the US consumer? Too bad, not our problem." We now own a useless paper weight. I hate the idea, but perhaps the only answer to this issue is taking some type of legal action. Just fantastic.
The printer itself works great. Quality of the printout, both black and white and color, is outstanding for a printer in this price range. I've printed out some graphics for some technical memos I needed to write and using the "best" quality printout, the graphics looked spectacular. For regular text, the print speed is fast once the printer wakes up. The first sheet can take awhile. As long as the printer stays awake further print jobs are fast. Two-sided printing also works quite well.
I've also used the scanner a lot on my Mac with VueScan (the best scanning software out there, bar none!) and it too works perfectly. VueScan saw the scanner immediately and set itself up to work with it.
All told, if you are looking for a 3-in-one system and you don't want to spend a lot of money, you can't go wrong with this model, or one of the similar models in the Maxify line.
