THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Choose the Canon Color imageCLASS LBP622Cdw when color documents matter but the workflow ends at printing. Canon specifies 22 pages per minute on Letter paper, automatic two-sided output, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and a recommended monthly volume of 150–2,500 pages. That combination covers a small shared printer without adding copier or scanner hardware you may not need. It is less suitable when fax, document capture, a much larger paper reserve or a published heavy-workload recommendation is central to the purchase.

Consider it for

A home office or small team that prints color documents and already has a separate scanner or multifunction device..

Look elsewhere if

Skip it if you need an all-in-one, a fax line, or a documented recommendation for sustained high-volume printing.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • Color and automatic duplex are both documented for the exact model.
  • Wi-Fi and Ethernet give a choice of wireless or wired network setup.
  • Canon publishes a 150–2,500 page monthly recommendation rather than only a duty-cycle maximum.

What to weigh up

  • It does not copy, scan or fax, so it cannot replace an all-in-one.
  • The 22 ppm figure is a maker rating, not a guarantee for every file or setup.
  • The recommended range tops out at 2,500 pages monthly, below some workgroup models.

What the features mean for you

A print-only choice for color documents

Canon identifies the LBP622Cdw as a single-function color printer. It is aimed at work such as forms, handouts and color charts where people submit jobs from computers but do not need the machine to copy originals or scan them to a folder. That distinction matters more than the word office in a product title: an all-in-one can consolidate equipment, while this model keeps the task narrow. If copying, scanning or faxing happens regularly, compare it with a color MFP and account for the added desk space and workflow it replaces.

Color output changes what the printer can handle

The manufacturer lists color laser output and a maximum rating of 22 pages per minute on Letter paper. Color supports charts, marked-up drafts and materials where black-only output would lose information; it does not mean the printer is a photo-focused device. The speed rating is useful for comparing printer classes, but real jobs differ with page coverage, drivers, network conditions and whether a job uses color. Treat the stated figure as a specification, not a timed result. If color is only occasional, the four-cartridge workflow and separate supplies are another distinction from a monochrome alternative.

Automatic duplex reduces page handling

Canon documents automatic two-sided printing. The printer turns pages within a duplex job, so a multipage handout does not require the person at the desk to sort and reload a stack between sides. That convenience is especially relevant when several people print meeting packets or internal drafts. It can reduce sheet use when a document is suitable for two-sided layout, though it does not tell you how a particular file should be formatted. Confirm that automatic duplex is enabled in the driver and choose binding settings that match the finished document.

Wi-Fi and Ethernet support different office setups

Canon lists both wireless networking and Ethernet for this model. Wi-Fi can simplify placement where running a cable is awkward; wired Ethernet can suit a fixed shared printer and an office that manages devices on a local network. The two options do not establish that every phone, router or operating system will be compatible without setup. The exact connection also affects where the printer belongs: a shared device needs a suitable network and user permissions, while USB-only printers require a host computer or sharing arrangement. Decide how the device will be reached before choosing a desk location.

Match the stated monthly range to the routine

Canon recommends 150–2,500 pages per month. This range is a useful workload guide, not a promise about the life of a particular used unit or a replacement for checking service condition. Occasional color work can fit near the lower end; a busier shared queue should be compared against the upper end and the team’s expected growth. The cited range is not a cost-per-page claim, because current toner offers and actual color coverage vary. If page volume is likely to exceed the guidance consistently, compare a printer with a higher documented recommendation instead.

What else to compare

Compare a color MFP if copying or scanning belongs in the same workflow, or a monochrome printer if the office does not need color.

Before you buy

Does the LBP622Cdw scan or copy?

No. Canon documents the LBP622Cdw as a print-only color laser printer; use a separate scanner or choose an MFP for those tasks.

Can it print on both sides automatically?

Yes. Canon lists automatic duplex printing, so the printer handles the page turn during a supported two-sided print job.

Does it support Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet?

Canon lists both wireless networking and Ethernet for this exact model, allowing either a wireless or wired network setup.

The decision

The LBP622Cdw suits modest color printing with less manual duplex handling and flexible network placement. Its print-only workflow and 2,500-page monthly ceiling are the main limits.
