Just installed this machine tonight, so I can't speak to longevity, but I have tested essentially every feature of the printer, and everything seems to be working great. Long story short: If you're slowly watching your children's college funds go to ink to fuel your outdated ink-jet, upgrade to this machine. I put it off for years too long.
Installation was straightforward and took all of about 30 minutes. Packaging is intuitive, and although I had never installed toner before, I had no trouble deciphering the instructions (which were written both on the printer's packaging and also in the included installation guide). As others have mentioned, you will need a standard printer USB cable—only the power cord is included.
I was hooking the printer up to an iMac, and although the included driver disc was supposed to work on Mac machines, none of the drivers would install (it seems others have had the same issue). I just went to the Canon website and downloaded the drivers from the printer web page—and truthfully, that's probably easier than the disc anyway, so I wouldn't even bother putting the disc in.
The printer booted right up, and copied and scanned without any difficulty at all. Scanning is easy to initiate either from the printer or from your computer (but easier from the printer). Note that the "B&W Scan" option will produce a .tiff image. So if what you're looking for is a PDF, the easiest way to shortcut is just to select the "Color Scan" option, even if there's no color in the image (although the file will obviously be larger). There's a PDF function from the printer program, but I found it a little clumsy.
Printing is fast, and the images are remarkably sharp. One feature I love is that the paper is totally contained within the machine—it doesn't stick out of the front like with cheap ink-jets. That means less toddler interference and fewer bent corners. (That feature is probably standard for printers of this size and quality, but it's another plus over ink-jets.)
I hung onto my ink-jet for far too long, paying outrageous prices for ink and getting inconsistent results. I'm happy to give up the color printing capabilities of an ink-jet and just run to the nearest copy center to do the (very rare) color print. Truthfully, just about every time I want to print in color, I need it to be presentation-quality anyway, and your run-of-the-mill ink-jet isn't going to give that to you. Ditch your ink-jet; this is a great, inexpensive B&W laser upgrade.

From Purrrrfect so far!, to Far from perfect now
Just received and set up, so far purrrfect. I will update after using for a month or so. Installation was a breeze (windows7) and took about an hour. Most of the time was spent unwrapping it. Everything seems to be working properly, as expected. If this holds true it deserves 5 stars. I will update in ~~ 6 months. ****** UPDATE********** I purchased this in Sept 2016,....I loved it then,....then ......................... things changed.For the price of ~ $ 99 this is a very good value it has saved me several hundred $ in ink costs. This is a very good B&W, fast, inexpensive printer/ copier,..........I can NOT get it to scan,...at all! In the beginning, I that didn't bother me much since I was almost exclusively using this for printing and copying. I figured I was doing something wrong, ( I suppose that is still possible, on a scale of tech talents I am a solid 5-6 out of 10) That said, I have devoted many, many hours to re-reading the instructions and checking and re-checking the installation, both in terms of physical set up and soft ware status. After my latest episode of frustration, and with 6 months of use, I figured I should update my review. I am giving it 3 stars instead of 2 because of the price. At $99 this is a good value for a printer copier.
