User Review:
I am using the Canon MF4370DN on a network (cabled and wireless) with several Macs, both desktop and notebook.
PROs: It is light and compact, easy to use, and produces prints and copies of very good quality. Laser printers are generally cheap to maintain, and with cartridges purchased through Amazon, the ink expense is about US$0.02 per page. What amazed me was the great speed of printing, which adds substantially to convenience.
This model is largely compatible with the Mac, with one minor exception.
CONs: Some of the instructions for setup could be clearer. Why does the on/of switch have to be hidden? The cartridge included is a mere starter, good for half the usual number of copies. (This may actually be a good thing from the consumer’s viewpoint, as it lowers the shipping costs a bit.) The scanner will not work by network with a Mac: I rather resent features which are not enabled for the Mac. However, here is why that is not so important: first, the network scanning is limited to 600 dpi, and higher resolutions are available with a (user-supplied) USB cable, which is the way to scan recommended for the Mac. Let us assume that Canon guessed that Mac users generally want to do things the high-quality way. Second, you have to be at the unit to feed in what you are scanning anyway, so networking is only necessary if the scanner is far away from your usual computer.
Scanning to the computer with a USB cable is easy to implement only if the unit is near your computer: Canon says that the USB cable should not be longer than 3 m (10 English feet). So, you may have to rearrange things in your work area to get the scanner close enough to your computer. You must use up yet another USB port. For some people, that is no problem. In my case, it meant a major reorganization of my little office area.
I was going to score this printer 4 because of the lack of network scanning for the Mac. Then I reconsidered, and realized that for the above reasons, this is really not such a big deal, and not worth a whole grade-point. They could have included the necessary USB cable, but still, I will give a 5. Nice printer, and I really like mine. I may buy another — it’s that good.

User Review:
Though all the attributes listed for this review can be rated pretty high, one attribute that isn’t listed is the overall quality of the construction. It seems kinda flimsy. But I guess it was only $199 on amazon.
Good: Compared to the old Dell MFP I had, the Canon imageCLASS MF4370DN is great. Dell’s 1600N seemed to take forever to warm up. I had this little HP printer that would print instantaneously..and could never understand why the Dell took so long for a single print job…or for anything for that matter. This Canon worked like the HP. So, I’m assuming something is odd about Dell. I actually called them once and asked about it. They said their lawyers told them they couldn’t comment on the speed of printing. The Canon goes into a powersave mode when not in use and comes alive right away and shoots out the print job as quick as I can walk back to the printer. In that way, the prints are fast and good quality.
Bad: The front tray that holds the paper is small…doesn’t hold many sheets and the attachment that you put on the front to cover up the paper is so flimsy. You really have to not touch anything down there to keep it in place. It does have some sort of notch that it’s holding onto to keep it there, but it doesn’t take much to fall off. I tilted the printer foward to look at the telephone jack and it fell off. Additionally, the document feeder seems to pull paper in at an odd angle. I’m not sure this is really impacting things. But I put stuff in there and when I pushed fax, it grabbed the paper and kinda angled it slightly. Maybe it was my imagination. But I thought it looked odd.
I suppose my main complaint is that front tray. Otherwise, It’s good for a cheap printer.
