Review: Canon ImageCLASS MF244dw: A Rock-Solid Workhorse That's Still Going Strong After 8+ Years - I bought my Canon ImageCLASS MF244dw back in October 2017 for my home office, and it's been an absolute beast ever since. This monochrome laser all-in-one (print, scan, copy) has handled heavy daily use without a single major issue—no jams, no breakdowns, no service calls. It's truly flawless in reliability, which is why I've since purchased **two more identical units** for backup and other workspaces. All three are the same model, and they all perform with the same bulletproof consistency. What stands out most is how **efficient it is with toner**. The genuine Canon 137 cartridge is rated for about 2,400 pages, but in real-world use (mostly text documents, reports, and invoices at standard 5% coverage), I get even more out of each one. I print a lot—easily 1,000-2,000 pages a month for work—and cartridges last me months without running dry unexpectedly. Compared to inkjets I've owned before, this laser doesn't waste toner on cleaning cycles or dry out if left idle. The single-cartridge system (toner + drum combined) makes replacements quick and mess-free. Print quality is sharp and professional every time—crisp black text, decent graphics for business needs, and fast speeds (up to 28 ppm) with duplex printing built-in. Wireless setup was straightforward, and it connects reliably to my phones, laptops, and network for AirPrint or scanning. The scanner/copier is solid too, with an auto document feeder that handles multi-page jobs effortlessly. Eight years later (as of 2026), my original MF244dw is still humming along like day one. No faded prints, no error codes, just pure dependability. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, high-volume monochrome laser that won't nickel-and-dime you on supplies, this is it. Canon nailed it with this model—highly recommended for anyone with real work to do!
Review: ALL printer setups should be as painless as this - Allow me to preface this by saying that setting up printers never goes well for me, even as an IT professional (with experience in everything from end-user support development and even some database administration). I originally purchased the Brother HL-L2340DW, arguably the most-purchased, most-reviewed, and highest-rated printer on desertcart. Although network setup went smoothly, nothing else did- it never registered or was recognized by Google Cloud Print or even its own drivers/network configuration software. I was skeptical of this printer, more so than others because of the relatively small number of reviews, a number of which said the installation instructions were unclear or that they had difficulty setting it up. From my perspective, the setup couldn't have been easier. Wireless (WLAN) setup: -I plugged the printer in and used manual WLAN setup to punch in my network details and configure a static address for the printer (a slight oddity here- enabling and assigning a static address does not disable DHCP IP retrieval, but it was inconsequential to the setup as it only took 2 seconds to turn off). From plug-in to successfully pinging the access point (the printer includes a built-in utility for pinging) was less than 5 minutes. Google Cloud Print setup: -As soon as the printer was on the network, every Cloud Print capable device was able to see the printer, and I was able to register it under my account and connect all other devices in less than 10 minutes. Samsung Print Service setup: -Surprisingly, the Samsung print service that comes pre-installed on many Samsung devices did not need any additional configuration to work with this printer. Windows Driver setup: -MAJOR, MAJOR KUDOS TO CANON - the Windows "full driver package" dated February 10 2017 (2/10/2017) on Canon's website included NO BLOAT WHATSOEVER. I struggle to find a printer these days which doesn't try to install 8 different pieces of software for ink ads (that you have to install anyway because the "driver only" packages magically don't work...). -Canon's proprietary UFR II driver does provide lightning-fast print jobs, but you'd be almost equally well serviced by the PCL print driver if you need something with a bit more compatibility. -I have had success with installing the UFR II drivers on the following machines: Windows 7 Professional x64, Windows 10 Home x64, and Windows 10 Enterprise x64. Other thoughts: -For my model, the print and scan quality is fine. It's at least as good as the Brother before it, and easily better than the HP inkjet it replaced. -The LCD interface has good visibility and contrast, and it snappy and responsive. I've heard this is not true of the upgraded touch-screen model, but I can't personally confirm this. -The plastic housing does feel a bit flimsy in some areas, but I don't intend to be hitting the thing with a hammer (well... so long as it works), so I imagine it will be fine. -This printer seems to have no trouble waking from sleep to print. I've had numerous HP and Brother printers struggle with this, but the Canon has been extremely reliable. TL;DR: -Easy WLAN setup for devices of numerous make/model/driver/service -No driver bloat -Fast, quality printing and scanning -NO driver bloat! -Reliable wake from sleep -NO DRIVER BLOAT! NONE! This printer has been a dream to work with. Canon was the underdog between HP and Brother in the printer market, and so I didn't honestly expect much, but this printer has blown me away in initial impressions. If it lasts and Canon doesn't stray too far from what they've done here, they'll have made a lifelong printer customer out of me.
