Recently purchased when the print head on an existing printer died. Turned out it was easier / cheaper to buy a new printer off Ebay than replace the head! We've had allot of printers over the years. Right now Canon is our favorite brand (our past Epsons break down to easy). We picked this one for simple general purpose home scanning, copying, and printing. It's a mid price device from Canon. It was very easy to set up out of the box. Software loaded on our iMac easily. Unlike older models, you can put the printer info / control software icon right on the Dock (or for PC's on your desktop or somewhere else handy rather than deep in the applications folder. Test prints after set up were all clean. The software controller & help info and the actual controls on the device are easy to use and understand. Printing, scanning, and copying tests all came out good. In high quality print / copy mode printing to Canon glossy paper photos came out very nice - not pro quality, but nice for regular purposes (for pro quality photos printing we also have a top of the line Canon). I think that bumping up the contrast (using the printer controls in the software app) a little will make photos a litte more lively. Text was perfect, and graphics (like powerpoint) were also fine. The printer size is a plus - it does not take up much space. It's smoother and quieter than our last printer. Scanning is quick and easy, and you can go up to a 600 dpi resolution, which is fine for most home purposes. We've had some past issues with Canon print heads, so time will tell with this one. Having only two ink cartridges makes things simpler, but a drawback could be that you might run out of one color first. Time will tell if this approach is overall better / more cost effective. We had no problem finding replacements in the stores (Target, Wallmart, Best Buy, etc). Past experience for us is that if you want the best quality and longest life, use Canon inks, not the cheaper knock-offs / alt brands. Initially, very pleased with this unit. Time will tell as to the overall. So for now we give it a Good rating.Read full review
The Fine Cartridges that come with the printer do NOT give clear, defined print copy. I am going to go back to my normal Canon Pixma 211 and 210 cartridges. Otherwise, I'm happy with the printer performance except that there have been two paper jams that I believe relate to the design of the paper guide holder. I previously had a Canon Pixma MP4900 that performed better. I had 5 good service years.

Its a good printer very quite it prints pretty fast to! But it didnt come with printer cable!Had one around the house so i was good & Ink Runs our pretty quick when printing after like 3 photos and a few web pages and shipping labels i was already a quarter of the way down on the color and it was going fast and black was ok but now i see it also going down! I just got the xl ink for it cause of how fast its going down! But other then the ink going down at a pretty fast rate it a good printer fast quite and no problems with drivers the scanner works great hope this help out if you looking at buying this printer or another one of canons printers!
After having wasted an hour with HP on the website and telephone, I almost bought the HP wireless from the telephone rep. What I have discovered is that the paper path on HP requires the paper to bend completely in half. That is where the Canon shines. HP broke a gear and voided the warranty printing business card stock. Now the Canon's paper path is just a slight curve and handles this stock effortlessly. The scanning function is much faster than the old scanner. Price-wise I could have bought the better model Canon but went the cheaper route due to the layoffs in this economy. My only regret with Canon is lack of Linux support. Overall I feel Canon makes a decent printer that is just fine for SOHO home / student use.
I just got the printer today was able to set it up in about 45 minutes including reading the direction. Set up was pretty much straight forward I had it running and I like the way it looks it's sleek not to imposing I like the color and the way it blends in my home office. I'm a bit of a photo enthusiast so I know I will be able to use the built in card readers in this printer scanner. The price was just right , it even has a little lcd screen. I'm happy with this product it's compatible with my new Vista OS .
