We've been very happy with this printer.
We've moved from die-hard HP printer groupies to hating Epson to loving Canon as a brand and especially this all-in-one.

It prints fast in both color and greyscale
It copies with a push of a button
It scans and saves it to your computer or prints it if you want.

My only complaint is that if you have it hooked up via a printer switch box, the switch has to be an expensive box that handles true bi-directional communication. I can't scan with my print box even though I can print just fine. I have to plug the cable directly into the PC for the scanning to work. Part of me blames Canon, and another part realizes it's the switch box.

I have my printer hard-wired, so I don't know about wireless.
Ink cartridges are individual color of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Replacements were easy to find in any store, so shop around for the best price. They also have a back-light to let you know if it is truly seated in the slot or if the cartridge isn't aligned correctly.


It was up and running in a snap.
The quality and speed are worth make us love Canon and it will take the deal of the century to get us to consider anything else.

I selected the Canon Pixma MP 520 Photo All-in-One Inkjet printer based on a recent "Consumers' Report" rating. I use it more for document printing, scanning, and copying than for photo printing. Set-up was quick and easy, and I am pleased with print and copy speeds. Printing and copying in color is impressive! The order process was exceptionally satisfying because Amazon.com offered the best pricing and because of the speed of shipment; the vendor Amazon used for fulfilling the order promised a ship date 10 days from date of purchase and it arrived in two and a half days.

Compared to my other printers, this is wonderful. It doesn't drink ink like my HP did, and it's much faster. Amazon's price is the best, too! I also like having separate ink cartridges. Highly recommend this printer for basic home use.
