 Met all my expectations... June 4, 2008

I purchased this printer second hand and I am absolutely delighted with it.
Quiet as a mouse, clear crisp output, quite quick and altogether in a word, "great." I print almost completely in Grayscale simply because it saves money but the cartridges are not too pricey and I've found the machine most reliable. I can't speak for its color quality so I wont.
I turned this sucker into a bluetooth wireless printer by purchasing a $20 Kensington USB Bluetooth dongle. I didn't get the Canon one ($50+) and it works fine regardless. (I had problems using a security code with Windows but not with Mac. In the end I decided I'd go without security).
I haven't used the built in card reader or printed photos.
The scanner and the printer both worked flawlessly on both a Mac (Lepoard OSX) and a PC (XP) through USB connection. The scanner wouldn't work through Bluetooth - only the printer would.
Main Pros:
- Works on Mac and PC
- quite quick once it's up and running
- quiet
- doesn't appear to be too much of an ink hog
- $20 USB bluetooth dongle (non-Canon) turned this puppy into a wireless printer!
- build feels relatively sturdy
- drivers available online
- reasonably quick scanning
Cons:
- First print is somewhat slow (coming out of 'hibernation appears to take time)
- footprint is larger than many scanning printers
- Couldn't get scanner working wirelessly (printing is fine)
- You need to buy your USB cable separately
I paid a ridiculously low $60 for this second hand and after a couple of months with it, I still give it a big thumbs up.

I bought this printer a couple of years ago, and have had no problems with it at all. Scans come out very clear, picture printing quality is impressive, and the ink cartridges won't break the bank. I like that you can replace the ink tanks individually instead of having to replace all at once.
