You know, it’s not a bad printer. It really isn’t.
What nags the heck out of me about this printer, though, is that Canon doesn’t think it worthwhile to include all the necessary cables — namely, it’s missing the USB cable required to connect it to a computer — for full functionality.
Is the economy so bad that you must go without a USB cable?

THIS IS MY FIRST CANON PRINTER. FIGURED I COULD NOT GO WRONG SINCE I ONLY USE CANON CAMERAS, A PERFECT CHOICE. SETUP WAS A BREEZE AND PRINT QUALITY WAS GREAT. I LOVE THE IDEA OF 8 1/2 x 11 PRINTING EDGE TO EDGE. NEVER HAD THAT WITH MY OTHER PRINTERS. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAD TO BUY THE USB CABLE FOR IT. NOT THAT IT WAS EXPENSIVE BUT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE BOX.
I WISH THE CARTRIDGES WERE LESS EXPENSIVE. BUYING 3 CARTRIDGES COSTS MORE THAN THE PRINTER. IT IS A LITTLE NOISY WHEN IT GETS READY TO PRINT BUT THE NOISE IS WORTH THE QUALITY OF THE PRINT THAT COMES OUT.
THIS IS A GREAT BUY AND YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.

For the price, it’s a great printer. Does what I need on a small scale basis, with decent quality.

My expensive Xerox copier died, and I wanted a replacement that could copy a book. My fax machine can handle 8.5″x14″ paper, and I do not need the reduction capabilities of the Xerox copier. This all in one is great as a copier. If no computer is attached, it starts up as a copier. You can control the number of copies, but the darkness and contrast is controlled automatically by the printer. For the price, it is a very nice 8.5″x11″ copier.

We got this after reading good reviews on it but were very disappointed to find that it took forever to turn out copies and print documents. Moreover, no matter what I do to adjust the colors, I cannot get it to print the colors I see on the computer screen – or even come close. To boot, it uses ink very quickly. Simple things like speed and accurate color are pretty basic but this printer doesn’t have them.
