Poor Performer - Tsk Tsk Canon [Posted on 2007-03-07]
I am unimpressed and outright dissapointed with the quality of this so-called color laser printer. The prints are inkjet quality at best. The setup is difficult with a Vista machine and the usability is limited.
Prints:
Quality is substandard. Paper handling is limited. Comparison to my Multipass 730 - I go with the inkjet.
Vista:
Only the network driver works as of this writing. The USB driver is in spanish which makes it unworkable for me.
Overall, a bad device that is not worth $300.00 let alone $600.
Noise aside, a terrific value as a color laser printer [Posted on 2007-10-26]
I've had my mf8180c for about 10 months now, using it as my main networked printer in a solo law practice. I use it for printing, faxing, copying, and scanning (everything that comes into or goes out of my office is scanned to .pdf, so I can carry my practice with me in a laptop).
There is no doubt that it is noisy. It is indeed loud enough to interfere with nearby phone conversations. It's noisy not only when you're using it, but often when you're not. My guess is that it occasionally wakes itself up from powersaving mode just to rotate the drums and shake up the toner. The sounds themselves are normal, and it doesn't sound like the machine is shaking itself apart, nor like a shoe tumbling in a dryer.
However, other than that -- and the noise was something I expected from having researched various color lasers before buying this one -- I have had NONE of the problems described by the other reviewers. No offense to them, but I wonder if they've read the bleeping manual. Yes, that's a pain in the butt, and like every other piece of high-tech machinery these days, Canon's terminology and menu logic and structure are idiosyncratic. But I will attest, from repeated personal experience, that, for example, it is indeed quite possible to cancel print jobs if you enter the commands to do so properly.
Moreover, in ten months of use, I've had exactly one paper jam (and that was using 24-pound bond, which really is excessively stiff for any laser printer). Other than replacing toner cartriges as needed (which is very easy to do) and cleaning the scan-bed glass, I haven't needed a bit of maintenance.
A couple of weeks ago I was downtown filing a new lawsuit, waiting as the deputy clerk processed it. I noticed that two or three other deputies had gathered around him, looking over his shoulder. I thought something must be badly wrong, but it turned out that they were all just admiring my very restrained -- but in my profession still very novel -- use of colored section headings. Having a color laser printer feels very 21st C, and I've never regretted buying this one for a moment.

Nothing but trouble since i bought it. Pricey to maintain. Noisy. Firmware is a joke. I'm still looking for a reliable replacement, but this has to go.
I have no problems with this printer at all... [Posted on 2008-05-30]
Like the lawyer below, you have to read the manual. Sorry to say, but that's how you got to work it! They also have updated the drivers to include Windows vista and it works seamlessly in my small office with 8 computers set up.
We have a trucking dispatch office and the copier is in a separate room. Albeit a bit noisy it doesn't interfere.
DON'T BUT IT !This is clearly one of the worst pieces of equipment [Posted on 2008-06-02]
This is clearly one of the worst pieces of equipment I have ever purchased! After being in business for over 20 years and purchasing every conceivable need for an office, this is the most disapointing.
The first came, broken inside the machine, clearly broken at the factory. Amazon tried to blame the shipper - there was no shipper issue. I was charged over $100 to ship it back. There was no option not to get another - it was automatically shipped at my expense! The second came in one piece, however has NOT worked more frequently than it has worked! I have struggled with repair - at one point, every board in the machine was replaced. I purchased an all-in-one for $200 at the local office supply store the works beautifully every day while this Cannon is down yet again.
