Unit arrived in fine shape and works. Smooth transaction and the unit was well packed. Thanks
All Canon printers are first-rate. I got this one from an Amazon seller at a very good price.
That was disappointing but I thought I could live with that. Needless to say, I waste good paper and lots of ink. It was OK at first although it didn't print well on certain types of paper regardless of the settings. And I've owned many. Perhaps I got a defective printer, but who would take back a printer you've had for 3 - 4 months, without a box. Whenever I need to print a fairly large job (for an injet, that means about 10, right now I cannot get beyond 2 without a problem), by the time it prints the third copy, blue is green, or maybe it's pink, or I get a rainbow effect.
I don't print large quantity often but when I do, I want my printer to work and work as well as the manufacturer claims.
About 3 - 4 months into owning it, problems began.
So I have to do a deep cleaning after every two docs printed, and even that doesn't always work the first time.
I've had this printer for almost a year now.
And yes, of course I check to see if all the ink cartridges are full before embarking on such jobs.
And I didn't learn about the problem because I didn't have a need to print more than one document at a time.
Naturally when I really need this thing to be dependable, it isn't, like now.
It has taken me two days now to print 25 documents.When it does print well, however, it prints very well, but what good is it if a quality print is a crapshoot with this thing.
It seems today, although we pay less for technology, we also receive less in quality too.
I can't complain. It serves my purposes as I'm not into making fab pics.Edit 1/20/2008Well, the blue ink doesn't work. It's a wonderful printer. Pictures aren't too great w/ the aftermarket ink, but it worked great w/ their ink. The little white thing in the ink holder gets full of blue ink and I have to constantly wash it out. I got myself a used b&w hp laser and it's been my main printer since.
But the best feature is the ink cartridges. I have used several different printers over the years and this one is by far my favorite. They last about as long as most printers, but the replacement cost is under $15 each (there are 6 different colors). It is loaded with options that make printing anything a breeze. The menus are simple to use and understand. They are also incredibly easy to refill yourself, and last for mutiple refills (I have only had to replace one cartridge in the 2 years I have owned it). If you are looking for a printer for pictures and documents, this, or another full-size Canon printer, is for you.
