Customer Reviews:

Agree with others about short print life [Posted on 2008-10-14]
I agree with everyone else who has put in a negative word about the lifespan of the Canon 104. I work in a fairly busy office and we just purchased a Canon laser all-in-one a month ago, and when we started noticing having to change the toner every week (!!!!!), I started keeping track of copy/print counts. Even at the lowest density settings, the most we've ever been able to get out of 1 cartridge was 1,300 prints -- a far cry from the advertised 2,000 prints. We are at the point that we will probably return the printer and go with something else. The only reason I gave it an extra star from rock-bottom is the ease of use (hey, if we have to change the cartridge weekly, might as well make it easy to do!).

don't buy non Canon [Posted on 2008-11-18]
Having bought a generic cartridge, it lasted a week before making a loud noise, and so no more printing. Don't know why the other user on here said it wasn't a Canon product, this is a official Canon product, they even give details on recycling. Yes, these are expensive, but at least it works for longer than a week.

Canon 104 [Posted on 2008-11-19]
So far, this product has met my expectations. It remains to be seen how it will perform over the life of the product.

Bona fide Canon [Posted on 2008-12-14]
I don't understand the other reviews questioning whether this is bona fide Canon or not. Amazon confirms it is. The package, inner packages, labels, ads, and the product itself all appear to be bona fide Canon.

Did not receive Canon-brand toner [Posted on 2008-12-30]
I'm not sure what Amazon is shipping since there is no manufacturer listed on the cartridge package itself, but what I received when I ordered this specific item is not a genuine Canon-brand cartridge. The generic packaging lists "Laser Toner Cartridge," gives a part number of ST-104 (there is no such part number on the Canon Web site), and says it's "compatible for: Canon ImageCLASS 4120/4122/4150" and two other products. In small print, it states, "All brands and trademarks are the properties of their respective holders and referred are referred to for descriptive purposes only." (Yes, it actually has the words duplicated.)

I've returned this to Amazon.

I wonder if third-party aftermarket cartridges are being substituted for some orders. However, that would be an error since the product description on this page when I ordered said the cartridge is "by Canon" and included a paragraph about why it's important to buy "genuine Canon" products for warranty reasons (which is why I went with what was supposed to be a Canon-brand toner). I've flagged this and asked Amazon to review the product description to make sure it matches the product they are shipping.

If you order this and genuine Canon is important to you for warranty or other performance reasons, verify when it arrives that it's in Canon, not generic third-party, packaging. Reading the reviews here, apparently some orders are, and mine and others aren't.
