 An OK Printer March 10, 2010
Bob Allen (WV)
As others have noted, this printer goes through some noisy agitations before and after printing, but then does a reasonable job. However, with documents containing pictures, the pictures come out really lousy, even printing with "high" quality, unless the entire page is printed as a photo (slow and costly on ink). That means printing each page containing photos separately, a real pain. My old HP did much better. Given that most printers today produce quite sharp printouts, I would not rate this one high on print quality. Copying is easy and does quite well. Another minor irritation is the location of the cable and cord hookups. They stick out on both sides of the printer, which can be bothersome if you have it on a roll-out tray or shelf. The dimensions stated don't indicate its real size with the paper feeder open, loaded with paper, and the output tray open (about 19"W, with cords, x 11 1/2"H, with paper, x 21 1/2"D). That can be a problem with a roll-out printer shelf in a desk.
 It really is 'All in One'! March 9, 2010

I got this printer at American TV two christmas's ago for $30! I figured at that price why not? It really is a great printer! Photo's could be sharper. Right away I printed an 8x10 of my lil guys headshot, and you could see his baby fine hair pretty crisp. Since then it seems as if it's gone downhill a little. 4x6's are great but you can tell they are 'at home' quality. I have a 8MP Canon camera.
Pros
-Good pictures
-Scanner is easy and it will even repair older 'fuzzy' pictures.
-Copier is as easy as putting it on the glass and pressing Start.
- Print directly from a SD card and/or a USB flash drive also.
Cons
-If you misplace the drivers and 'wipe' your computer good luck getting the drivers from online for all the functions
-Ink is kinda expensive $50 for the 2pak of color and black, you can get a 3 pack at Sam's club for $60 which contains the 2 of the great XL black cartridges.
-It uses quite a bit of ink, black especially which suprised me.
When trying to decide on this printer i found several people that had a ink error code and the whole thing would quit working. I have had this printer for a year and a half with heavy use and I have changed ink more times then I can count and it's just fine. I bought one at the same time for my brother for the $30 as well and his is working great too!
 Bought this printer at Walmart March 4, 2010
L. Lamme (Little Rock, AR)
I recieved this printer from Walmart as a gift. I set it up and followed the step-by-step instructions with ease. I printed a few docments and I was satisfied. Later I left for a few hours and returned to use it for a scrap booking project. I opened the thing to see the LCD screen black and the light was flashing. I attempted to turn it on but it would not start. I unplugged it with no luck. I put it somewhere and fogot about it for a week and plugged it back in and it started with no problem. I scanned a few pictures and left the room for 10 minutes. I came back and the light was blinking again. I tried to turn it on again and it wouldn't start the same as usual. I got tired of the thing and bought a Kodak Printer which works a lot better.
Overall when it did work it scanned and printed well. I had problems with getting it to turn back on and it would start to do some crazy stuff and would never turn back on. When it would work it worked good but it didn't work 90% of the time. I will never use a Canon printer again

Not for a college student March 1, 2010
College Student
Well I'm in college and I have this printer. I wish I didn't. First of all, it takes forever to start up (I don't leave it on so I have to turn it on for every print.. I can't leave it on because theres a shortage of power slots). While its whizzing and whirring doing the startup stuff I have time to surf the web a while or maybe make a meal before class. After a few minutes it finally stops so I then click "print". A good 20-30 seconds more of click-clacking, then it starts printing at a semi-sluggish pace. After the print is done, I press the power button and it does its final act of loud, unnecessary noises before dying with a loud POP! I hate using this thing but it is faster than walking to the library and printing from there so... if I hadn't received this as a gift I would have returned it already due to the cost of ink alone. Ugh.
