So far much better than our HPs.

This replaced an HP Officejet; we also have a HP Deskjet. Never could get Officejet documentation. Deskjet has "installed" itself 32 times in 12 months and, being online, HP is monitoring our printing. So far very happy with Canon; only question is how much ink will cost.

super printer

Customer Rating:
great printer although it can be a little loud. You will need to have a router to use the wireless capability. Otherwise it is about all I expected it to be and then some. Prints Perfect Picturs. Scans great. Easy to fax.

This printer is excellent except fo the cost of the ink which must be purchased often!!!!!!!

Customer Rating:
Cannon must make adjustments to its technonogy to insure modest cost for use of their printers. If they plan to stay in the market they will make changes soon.

In response to the last post....

I mean this post in the nicest, polite way...intended to help only...the math below (as of now) is incorrect...he took 500/$300 to get $1.67..this calculation is not set up right..also, $14*5=$70, not $75...so it would be 500/$280 in his example....which equals $1.79 a page...even though the ink is NOT this expensive (I just bought all 5 a few days ago - total was $53.48 on Amazon...free shipping too)....so even if this only does 125 pages like the guy says...the correct math would be ($53.48*4)/500 -- total expense / total pages, not the other way around...which equals about 43 cents a page for ink.....I still doubt VERY much that it is anywhere near this high....to look at this another way...$1.67*500 pages = $835! Impossible...

So far everything is great with this Canon...I would definitely recommend it to someone I know. I also received this from Amazon much faster than expected..which was awesome!

Ink Consumption will empty your retirement saving!!

Pros: Like my prior Canon AIO, this unit is feature rich. It's a great multi-purpose unit for a SOHO. And yes, as others have said, the setup can be improved but the wireless access works great.

Cons: One (very big) complaint - it GUZZLES ink!! 4 sets of ink in less than 1 ream (500 pages) of paper. 90% printing is text with color, 4% mid-quality graphics and 1% photos. Tech Support says duplex uses more, but I've disabled this - see no change!

Summary: Honestly, it's a wonderful printer but there's no way to justify given the ink consumption. Canon charges ~$15 per cartridge (w/S&T) x 5 colors, so a full replace set costs $75. Based on 4 sets per ream of paper, the average per page cost is a whopping $0.67! REALLY!?!?! BTW, Canon really doesn't want you to know the cost per page, as they don't provide a page counter in the printer.

In short, be very leary of these $.05-.10 per page claims [...]. Your mileage will vary (significantly!).

Until Canon can fix this - DON"T BUY THIS PRINTER - your wallet will be emptied.

P.S. Profs to "STLtechFAN "STL" for showing me that someone does actually read these posts!!
