Recommendations for an all-in-one printer: I have a Canon MG7720 that no longer prints. I've played with it, deep cleaned, replaced cartridges, ... but no success. I'm ready to buy...

I have a Canon MG7720 that no longer prints. I've played with it, deep cleaned, replaced cartridges, ... but no success. I'm ready to buy another one. Looking for experienced based recommendations. I do not print images. I use it to copy, scan and print documents. It is not used very often so the ink may dry up?

Thank you for your response.

I have been a fan of the epson ecotank printer for some time now... It scans prints very nicely... I have one and so does the wife... It does color and does NOT use cartridges... and No i do not benefit from epson other than the fact it works... Comes with what they say is 2 years worth of ink.... Good luck in your quest :)

I got a Canon Pixma Tr8250 that works very well. Got it at Best Buy about a year ago, $150.00. Fax, scan, copy, et al. Does good on photos also. I think price has gone down. First Canon I've had, and I'll probably stick with Canon. Also wireless, but use it wired.

I've been using the Epson Expression XP-830 for several years now and like it a lot. Photo printing is done on a Epson XP-960. I switched over from Canon after having major problems with a new printer and never looked back. Good luck Mark.

Over the years I’ve had great luck with Brother all in ones. They seem to last a long time and are stingy on ink usage.

I have a Canon PIXMA MX-922, but I think they quit making them....
It's been working well for years. I do like the two sided copying and printing.

Mark, like you, I no longer print images. I scan and print documents. When my Epson 2200 died in September 2017. I had to look for a new printer that met my very basic needs. I ended up going to Walmart and buying a Canon printer that is wireless, scans, copies, and prints. It cost $42. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it. I replaced the ink cartridges twice. Actually I could have bought a new printer for about $10 less than the cost of the two cartridges, but this has been working so well I just replaced the ink. I still have my Epson scanner that I use if I need a quality scan of a negative or transparency. Document scans on the Canon are very good and the printer is actually pretty fast.

Mark, I'm using a Canon G6000 eco tank printer. I like it very much. I don't use it for photos so I can't comment on how it performs but since you're not using it for that purpose, the point is moot. I have a Canon Pro-100 for photos.

I have the et-2650 but there are later models i think the wife's is a Et-2760... Her's even automatically prints on both sides of the paper... Comes with software to scan and even make nice multi page pdf's... Will also do copys without even using the computer... Oh and it is wireless... I even print from my android phone...

Have fun comparing

I have 2 Epson printers. The black ink cartridge on my Artisan 837 (an all-in-one) went dry and it sat unused for about 18 months. I used my other printer instead. When I finally got a set of cartridges for the 837 and replaced the black the first color test sheet I printed was off color but every one after that was just fine. I did eventually change the rest of the cartridges because they were all low, but, I saw no indication of a problem because of the printer sitting unused for so long. Don't know if the 837 is still made, but, it is still excellent as a copier, scanner and printer, both photo and document so I would expect its replacement to be at least as good. I currently use it for 5x7 photos and 8.5x11 documents. I only ever use Epson ink.
My other all-in-one is an Epson Expression XP-960. Excellent in every way. Photos, up to 11x17, are stunning.
