Got this printer about 18 months ago. I used it about once a month. The cartridges are empty in no time and cost a fortune if you buy them new. You think you can refill them and get away cheapter - that's what I used to do with my previous Lexmark. Well, you may get away with it with the black cartridge. But once the colour cartridge is empty, the printer will not work, neither will the scanner or the copier. The thing with the new Canon printers is that the cartridge has a chip inserted, which monitors ink levels. Even if you deactivate it (like I did), at some point Error 5 will pop up and you won't be able to use the thing even if your cartridges are full.
A chip resetter isn't available on the market. You have the choice to buy new cartridges (at 12 pounds for black, and 16 pounds for colour) and then realize they're empty after 50 prints because they're tiny. The printing quality is appalling, blue is smudged, black is rather faded. Even if you think you get away with refilling black and never using the colour cartridge so it stays full, it won't work because, since the printer monitors ink levels, it will start using colour automatically as soon as it think's black's empty even if you've refilled it.
The noise of the printer is very loud. There is the option of noise diminishing but boy is it slow. The actual printing speed is worse than my previous, cheap, old Lexmark. Scanning takes forever.
All in all, you may think you got a all-in-one product that could do everything, but maintenance costs and costs per print are very high and not worth it in the long run.
A product I would not recommend.

This printer is great. Albeit a little bulky, the printer is neat and well finished.
I use the printer very regularly and it's printing quality is brilliant, there are also fantastic controls which enable you to manage the style and quality of your print. This makes it extrememly flexible and suitable for a variety of needs, from printing low quality quick prints, to high quality pictures.
The scanner and software is highly useful.
I would recommend buying refillable cartridges. It eats ink very quickly and the Canon ink cartridges have limited ink (and a smaller sponge to hold the ink than refillable ones).

I love my printer, great quality reliable, quick. Ive had it quite a few years now and its got plenty of life in it yet. I always use canon inks and there so reliable i wouldnt change. Some people have moaned about it not feeding straight but i find thta as long as you knock it all back straight when its slumping your alright, its a small prob for a great printer. The first one that arrived did stop feeding after about a day but a replacement was sent out and all is well. Your going to get a few duffs in any mass produced goods but the company are great and canons are a name to trust. Great buy!

'You get what you pay for' is a phrase I should have remembered before buying this printer. It worked well at first, but found that the replacement ink was very expensive. After 18 months the paper feed stopped working and despite following the troubleshooting guide have not been able to rectify the fault. All Canon could do was to advise me to take it to get it serviced but I think that it would be cheaper to buy a new printer, which I will be doing, but not a Canon. :0(

Brilliant printer - good photos. Much better than the Epson I owned previously. My only criticism is that the ink cartidges are expensive (but they last longer than the Epson, which was forever wasting ink "cleaning" it's printheads) and it doesn't like cloned cartridges at all (doesn't recognise them). However, don't throw your empty cartridges away - you can sell them on a well known internet auction site!
