Canon PRINT Business Reviews

by Youtzful_idiot

The one app that may have worked for me but it’s ‘only available for business printers, sorry!
Well in case you thought Canon could make a printer or scanner that worked without spending hours upon hours and frustration after frustration, think again. Canon has really made an idiot of themselves and their customers once again in the printer suicide family of products it appears that Canon, much like every other printer manufacturer since the dawn of humanity, has also failed to create a printer/scanner which offers even a solitary working function. Wait there more. Not only will you waste your time and money purchasing a canon brand printer scanner combo but you can download a dozen or so FREE apps to failing alongside thd corresponding printer scanner. These Canon Failed Products complement themselves quite terribly together. They’ve lowered the bar to even greater heights or should hypes because they sure do promote their nonworking garbage. Now I get to take this pile of trash back to the store for eighty dollars or maybe I’ll just tie it to my ankle and throw it over the nearest bridge; that seems like the only actual solution that Canon has left me with on this amazing Friday night. Thanks a lot for making ten broken apps and a scanner printer which has the sole Unique feature of NON-WORKING. -10 stars all day.

CanonPRINTBusiness is absolutely terrible. It’s hard to believe someone at Canon actually approved of the way CanonPRINTBusiness functions with its business class printers. First of all the UI is not intuitive at all. The administrative functions of the printer are primitive at best. You can’t even select page orientation (port. Vs landscp.) before you print. It defaults everything to portrait for my BUSINESS PRINTER mind you. Other than selecting what pages and how many pages you want to print, there are no other print options to pick from. No sizing options. No orientation options. The business printers can’t print from universal drivers in IOS, instead you have to use this embarrassment of an app to send documents or use its “browser” to print. Absolute garbage. I will never buy a Canon business laser again solely because of CanonPRINTBusiness. It’s a frustrating and limiting.

CanonPRINTBusiness is garbage from a toilet. It barely works, and when it does, it is INCREDIBLY LIMITED in its functionality.

Ive connected CanonPRINTBusiness to my google drive on multiple occasions, and yet every time it fails to locate the google docs file I’m trying to print. Ill literally have the google docs open in another tab and yet it cannot find it. An absolute dealbreaker

This is the only app review I have ever left, and I will leave you with this: DO NOT PURCHASE A CANON PRINTER!!!

When using an iPhone CanonPRINTBusiness doesn’t print pdf files after filling them out with markup. Actually it prints the original pdf but doesn’t print the markup additions. I dislike CanonPRINTBusiness and I dislike iPhone even more because of their use of AirPrint which limits the type of printer you can use with it.

Got CanonPRINTBusiness to use with the Canon LBP6030 from my iPhone but app only works like 50% of the time when it wants to. Other time I can’t find or locate the printer. Also now app doesn’t even open properly, can’t even open CanonPRINTBusiness . Everytime i want to use it i have to delete it and reinstall to be able to find the printer. For such a big reputable company this is terrible

The printer (ImageCLASS MF644C) is solid. CanonPRINTBusiness is so useless as to make me hate the printer. It will never let you scan remotely from an iOS device. It will suggest that the firmware is out of date (it isn’t) or that remote UI is not enabled. It will, naturally, allow me to use the remoteUI that it just told me was not enabled.

Seriously Canon? All I want to do is scan something and email it from a remote device from my WIRELESS printer. But no. I must physically tether a windows device to it in order to get a scan.

From the same app I can print to the printer it “can’t communicate” with. I can check toner levels on the device it “can’t communicate “ with.

C’mon Cannon, is it too much to write a functioning app? All I want is basic functionality.

Tried to use CanonPRINTBusiness to connect and print from my iPhone to Cannon LBP6030w and unable to access any files from my phone. Searched documents and it finds none of my documents or images. Attempted to print directly from IPhone without going though app and does not work because this is not an airPrinter. What is the purpose of CanonPRINTBusiness if one can not access anything to print?

We recently purchased a Canon imageClass MF743Cdw printer for home use, and this was the only app (Canon PRINT Business) available by the company that supports it—a laser printer. In terms of the printing options, there are none extra, nothing more than to select, tap, tap, and print like it is in the native iOS print UI. It lacks services (e.g., editing, page layout setting, cropping), or similar that are offered in the other apps by for its inkjet and photo printer product lines. It’s incredibly sad and sort of mind blogging that for a printer that costs several hundreds of dollars more, our only mobile app option is reduced down to this one and literally in every aspect of it.

I’ve been using CanonPRINTBusiness for a while now. Despite some weird user interface issues, it usually worked well. However, when I upgraded to my new iPhone X, it now refuses to run. Even stranger, when I delete CanonPRINTBusiness and reinstall it works, ONCE. Then the next time I need it (I use CanonPRINTBusiness almost daily for work) I need to delete it again and reinstall. This one-time-use app fix is not very practical and canon’s website is so vast and complicated that I can’t find support for CanonPRINTBusiness. Anyone else having this issue?!?! Update coming soon I hope!! CanonPRINTBusiness is pretty much the reason I bought this printer. It may be the reason I buy a different one soon!

by Jenni Paige

My biggest mistake was updating CanonPRINTBusiness! Ever since the latest version came out my iPhone will not connect to my printer to print things that I need. I am frustrated! I hate the instability that the new versions have caused. I have considered buying a new printer because this is ridiculous. It does print from other devices but macs and iPhones are useless with this printer. Thanks DEVS for CanonPRINTBusiness, you made my printer a useless paperweight!!!!!

I wanted an all-in-one that promised to work with the iPad Pro; Canon advertised this one as such an option. However, it will not scan directly to my ipad, will not work with Google Cloud Print, AirPrint, or Printer Pro. The Canon printing app will work, sometimes. What’s most frustrating is that CanonPRINTBusiness has no reason for being inconsistent. I can engage in a set of behaviors and get a document to print, then go back to the same document, engage in the same set of behaviors, and it won’t print at all.

If you need to print booklets, No. 10 envelopes or any custom size pages, that is NOT an option. It also does not let you rotate a pages, or give you any of the options a normal computer would give you. This is a solution for printing directly to the printer without a wireless connection. No need for AirPrint or silex wireless bridge 4600WAN.

by Snoopy_Girl

It scans great, but when I want to save to save the jpeg scan to my photos on the iPad there is no option. I am scanning at 300dpi and the quickest way to get my photos is by emailing them to myself. Why is there not a save to photos option. Why jump through hoops just to get my scans. The two stars are for the printer quality not for CanonPRINTBusiness use.

by Papochen

The printer quality is good but the UI really needs improvement.
Most of my use is to remote print and scan from my mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, laptop, etc.
The remote print function ok most of time.
However, remote scan often bring troubles and unable to finish the job but keep returning error message on communication issue with printer.
Truly hope Canon could make some efforts to fix this issue.

by Siavash_ba

It make my network down , and most of the time its cant be ready

But work with it is easy👍

by Mustafa Al-Mohana

A good application, but very basic , it needs to be developed, such as adding the feature to control the degree of print resolution and choosing multiple ranges for printing pdf files, the ability to print pdf files in horizontal paper form without the occurrence of the papers becoming mirrored, determining the number of pages of the pdf to be added within one page and Control its size

by OTMFAN

After I updated the printer firmware from the printer - not the canon website - CanonPRINTBusiness allowed me to print.

Back to loving CanonPRINTBusiness !

Downloaded this to print wirelessly from my iPad to an LBP 6030W. Worked as advertised, no issues. Not sure why “_idiot” was having so many problems but I’ve had none so far.

by PiratePrincessa

Easy to set up. Easy to use. Laser 6230dw. Was printing screenshots of notes within seconds.

This should be recommended by canon on the printer literature. I had to hunt for it. Their help site is kinda garbage.

by FreeStyLeR83

They finally added the support for “Files” app which allows you to print documents from multiple cloud providers already defined in the “files” app including iCloud.

Thanks

I have been using my printer MF8280CW in the last 5 years without a connection problem. Since the last few update putting the printer can't detected on my network. Keep tell me no WiFi network connection. I can print out through my chrome or safari, but I can't able to connect my printer through CanonPRINTBusiness.

by Troythepotbellypig

CanonPRINTBusiness used to sort of work for scanning a picture or document. Now it does not even let a peson do that. It keeps on saying to register the printer. I can not believe that Canon would actually make CanonPRINTBusiness worse. Now when I have to scan an image, I will need to use my laptop. Hopefully Canon will get the problem fixed.

by Holton Johnson

Every time I have tried printing a web PDF, the margins are thrown out the window and the pages are skewed and not fit to the page. There seems to be no way to correct the margins or have CanonPRINTBusiness fit the document to the page. CanonPRINTBusiness is near useless when trying to print from your phone.

by Appgrue

The Canon website specs for the MF644Cdw all-in-one claim that it supports scanning from the Canon PRINT Business app, BUT IT DOES NOT! There is no option on the device scan menu, and CanonPRINTBusiness complains that the device Remote UI settings and/or the firmware need updated. Well, Remote UI has CanonPRINTBusiness support enabled, the firmware is the latest version, and CanonPRINTBusiness still won’t scan over wifi or directly.

by Hearts Update Bad!

The Canon PRINT Business app is suggested in the printer docs but cannot find my printer. Everything else is perfect with my ImageCLASS. I'm sad.. CanonPRINTBusiness installed fine & looks useful. :-( App connectivity is the only issue so far. Canon should also make remote printing a thing. I love being able to email docs to my other printers.

by Rjan8128

Why do you need to be older than 17 to use an app to print? Can you not reduce the restriction to allow teenagers to print from their mobile device. I can’t use CanonPRINTBusiness on any device for which we have parental controls.

Please adjust rating! There is no explicit content here.

This is an ok app, in that it prints to my printer easily. However I run into problems when I fill out editable PDFs, CanonPRINTBusiness prints them out blank.
