Rubbish., 2010-02-27
Burns through printer ink at a shocking rate. Buying new cartridges is throwing good money after bad, and I've not spent more than twice the money it cost me on Canon cartridges after a few months of light use, It can't use cheap third party replacement cartridges, If you run out of one colour it won't let you print with the other cartridge (i.e. if you run out of colour it demands you replace the colour cartridges and wont let you print in greyscale). There's no proper written documentation, so in order to decode the obscure error messages you need to open a rather tedious desktop manual.
print and scam quality os OK, but it has a tendency to mis-feed paper so you'll get slanted printouts. If it jams, more than likely you'll need to send it back to a canon service centre to get it repaired as the paper feed system is largely inaccessible.
Largely people seem happy with their purchase but I'm not. I've had it for several months and regret buying it almost every time I try and use it.
Look elsewhere if you want a cheap printer, 2010-01-11
I was very hopeful as I'd read so many good reviews of Canon printers, but was ultimately disappointed. The printer has a cheap feel about it that even surpasses what you'd expect of something so inexpensive. I had propblems with paper jams from the start and a leaking print cartridge to boot (one of the ones that came with the printer).
I also found the limited controls and visual feedback more frustrating than I'd expected, although this isn't really a criticism of the printer itself. Most at this end of the market have a similar setup - just a few buttons and simple LED readout - which I found much harder to work with than one might expect. A blinking number on the tiny screen isn't very informative in of itself, you have to dig out the manual and look it up to see what's really going on. Something to think about when, for not that much more, you can get a printer with a small LCD screen.
Best around for overall funtionality! Does everything easily., 2009-11-23
This printer does everything it says it will, with minimal fuss and minimal set up. Easy to use and though other reviewers complain about the noise, it's an ink printer... it makes noise, it's not excessive and not any more than normal office printers. (Heard it can be set up for silent printing, but not looked, as it's not loud anyway)
You don't have to connect it to pc for photocopying and you have option to copy in colour or b/w at touch of a button. Prints from pc quickly, scans fine.
Much better than the newer MP210, no problem with the paper feed (common complaint with MP210 of paper jamming) & it has easy ink loading, comes with manual, UK 3 pin plug, sample photograph paper, 1 x b/w ink cartridge, 1 x colour ink cartridge.
The reasons it does not get 5 stars is because it does not come with a usb cable (but then it never said it did & any standard usb connecting cable from other machines work fine, just make sure it has usb on one end & one of those square ones on the other end).
That and the ink runs out quite quickly & is not the cheapest, but it is possible to buy cheaper ink cartidges than Canon ones, many others make cartridges to fit Canon printers, shop around, it also takes 2 different cartridge types as well, so you have a little bit of a choice (and as mentioned it comes boxed with 2 ink cartridges anyway to get you started, these are the newer design catridges).
Summary: Great, fast safely boxed delivery, easy to set up, effecient & user friendly, but no usb cable and expensive (Canon) ink cartidges let it down a bit, however, very minor points lost.
Still best around for sheer amount of functionality, ease of use, lack of problems & overall price.
Good piece of kit, 2009-11-17
Good value for money and fine performance as far as it goes. However, I have been unable to find a way of scanning direct into Word and for this reason I have not awarded it full marks
WASTE OD MONEY, 2009-11-02
It broke down after 4 moths from purchase date! Wasn't printing much, still holds original cartridges (which btw are more expensive than the printer, and this one doesn't recognize cheaper replacements!!! be aware of that).
WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME
