Absolute garbage, I can never just print. It's always a hassle and half, I keep getting error 853, which mean it's too much for the printer, ITS 1 PAGE.... HOW IS IT TOO MUCH? Cannot connect directly to the printer even though that's an option on the printer, has to go through wifi. Have to make about 30 attempts to print, then when one finally goes through I have to try to cancel the rest and end up with 6 or 7 copies before I can get them all canceled. Complete trash

Basically, it's usless! Every time! Every time I use it, says the printer is not available or blocked. Then, after spending 20 to 30 minutes troubleshooting this and that, maybe it will print but, probably not! Literally, it's easier to email and print files from my computer. UPDATE, I've reinstalled the app. Somehow they made it worse.(Imagine that!) Alone with printer errors, it's also blocking other computers from printing. Google should remove.

I've had this app (and this printer) for probably 10 years. The printer is up to date and it still refuses to allow me to print via phone. I'm forced to download it several times to my phone then wind up doing the process all over again on my laptop. There was a point where I had no issues at all, but then the app had updated (this is 3 years ago now) and ever since I've been unable to do ANYTHING.
