 Well worth the price! December 1, 2008
Christian Williams (Bay Area, CA. USA)
Before I had this printer I purchased a Kodak All-in-one. The one that advertises lab quality prints at half the price. It worked really well the first month of having it. After that I have never been more frustrated with an electronic device. It's main issues were a design flaw in the print head, noisy operation, inks didn't last very long, paper feed problems, bad software, and it wouldn't let me print photos on anything other than kodak paper. So after replacing the print head three times I called it quits and decided I wanted something I could count on. Enter the Canon MP980. This printer was twice as expensive as the kodak, but worth every penny. The prints are AMAZING, and 4x6 Photos print faster than any printer I've ever used. There is also a dedicated Gray Ink cartridge allowing for true gray scale/Black & White photo prints. Printing is completely effortless. Everything just works. Setup was a breeze. I can replace each ink individually (not that I've had to yet). It has all the basic features like multi flash memory card reader, pic bridge, separate try for regular paper and photo paper, double sided printing and then some advanced features. Such as "quiet" mode. Optional blue-tooth, and built in Wi-Fi. BIG LCD. Connecting wirelessly is made easy. The scanner is fully functional and in addition to doing all the basics, it will do film and negatives as well. It also features LED's so there is no "warm up" time. Although a message will show up saying to stand by for the scanner to warm up but it's only for about 1 second. Things I thought are a nice touch. The standard paper tray slides inside the printer. When in a Standby mode, all the trays and openings to the printer are closed. When you execute a print, the door where the paper exits, opens automatically. There is no worry of things inside the printer getting dusty. The software bundled with the printer is really nice, straight forward, and works well. So far, no problems. I couldn't be happier with this amazing machine.
Of course nothing is perfect. I thought it might be neat to print directly on DVD's like some other printers do, not with this one. It's largest borderless photo print is only 8.5" x 11". When turned on for the first time of the day, it goes through a priming routine where it gets the ink tanks and print head ready (I'm assuming). The process could take up to a minute. My biggest gripe is that the photo paper try loads from the rear. When you want to print from specialty paper you have to pull open the tray. It doesn't store paper inside like the standard paper tray. So when you want to print photos, you have to open the tray and load it with whatever specialty paper you're using. The tray pulls out in a virtical position so you can still position the printer up against a wall if you're limited on space. When finished, you then unload the specialty paper and slide the tray back inside the printer. You could leave it out and loaded, but then you risk getting dust on your specialty paper unless you have a printer cover.
I highly recommend this printer. It's well refined and quality is top notch.
 Excellent performance and quality; crappy software November 30, 2008

This printer does everything I wanted it to do, and does it well in excess of my expectations. Plain paper printing is excellent, and the photo prints are simply gorgeous. I cannot tell the difference between this printer's photo output and store-bought prints. Furthermore, the memory card, wireless functionality, and the built-in display work great. The UI is intuitive and works well for printing photos directly from a camera's memory card. The card also appears as a disk drive on the networked machines, making for easy transfer of photos and video clips to fixed storage (a PC or NAS box, for example).
On the other hand, the software installation process is a complete dog. It takes almost 20 minutes (!) to complete. This is not at all pleasant and it's not intuitive. I found it to be the same level of hassle on Windows XP and Mac OS X platforms. The process has a few pitfalls as well as taking a long time. It's not worth going into the details (some other reviewers have), but you should be aware of it before going into the project.
It's a shame I have to rate the product at 4 stars when it's really an outstanding multifunction device, but the software is inseparable from the product at the end of the day.

Excellent product. Wireless feature was easy to set up and works flawlessly. I have printed photos from a digital camera, have copied prints with the scanner and have printed microsoft office documents. The photos have realistic lifelike colors and the documents are laser quality. So far the ink usage seems average for this type of printer. I am very happy with this printer and would recommend it highly.
Great Product November 23, 2008

I have now owned this printer for the past month. I needed a new all in one printer to replace my old one. This printer prints blazing fast black and white text and professional quality pictures. I enjoy the double sided printing as well, which makes it easy to print trifold brochures. I would highly recommend this product if the price does not deter your.

I purchased this printer primarily as a photo printer and I was not dissapointed. I am used to Canon Pixma as I currently have a Pixma MP500. Photo printer quality was not very good with this printer but it is over two years old and technology has improved in that time. I am not a techo geek, but an older female who just wanted to print quality pictures using a printer. I saw this printer at a demo at a scrapbooking show, and Amazons price was still better than the offer thru Canon. This is a pricier printer than others now since it was just released but purchasing thru Amazon is a great benefit since you can eliminate shipping. I have not figured out yet how to print wirelessly, but can use it with a printer cable to my Dell laptop with Vista. My MP500 is still working great and hooked up to router and laptop and destop system. The Pixma 980 is primarily to be used for photo's from vacations and printing smaller and larger pictures for scrapbooking.
