I purchased the Canon MF6590 as an upgrade to an HP injet All-in-one (6310). I was looking for duplex scanning and printing. These functions work perfectly (with the one caveat that to scan, you must use the USB connection rather than the network connection). Primary difference between this machine and comparably priced machines is the ability to scan 2 sided documents. Also, this model comes with the full -106 cartridge (not a starter cartridge)
Printing (B&W) and scanning is fast, efficient, and relatively quite. I haven’t used the fax capability, so I can’t comment on that feature. I have used the device to scan and print thousands of pages without any problems. I still haven’t had to replace the cartridge (which I shouldn’t have had to).
For the money, this is a great machine which I would recommend to others.
This network ready printer/copier/scanner/fax was purchased for the office about a week ago. It arrived, and was installed on the network without any significant issue. I left for the weekend, after discarding the packaging, and returned this morning to finish the network installation. It was then that I discovered that this network ready printer/copier/scanner/fax isn’t really all that network ready. Sure, I can print across the network, but I can’t scan across the network. This device was purchased for only two reasons: printing and scanning, both which must support network use.
At roughly $550.00, I expected a lot more. I have a significantly less expensive inkjet printer/copier/scanner/fax at home that actually will scan across the network, and yet this expensive piece of junk can’t? Very disappointing, and in my opinion, very misleading. So, be warned, that if you are looking for a network scanner, look elsewhere.

Canon had a huge rebate on this so I just bought it on the spot not having a possibility to do some research.
Yes it does not scan over the network, at least the manual says it does not but that is not a huge setback for me as one of my computers is connected to it via a USB port anyway.
One thing that I miss more a wireless connection, without it you must setup the printer near a network outlet.
Unlike someone stated above mine did come with a starter toner not a full one.
Another thing to pay attention to is to read the manual before use. I never do so I spent more than hour trying to make my computers find the printer on the network. The manual describes where to get the IP address if it cannot be discovered automatically. Once I glanced thought the instructions the setup was a breeze. The good outcome of it however is that while I tried to find where the problem was I finally replaired my home network.
I expected this printer to be a bit smaller. I could not cramp the box in the trunk of my Camry, which is far not small.
The printer functions well hopefully it will serve better than my two previous laser printers that lived only for the duration of one cattridge.
