This printer is great, I am owner and designer for my greeting card business and having a good printer is the heart beat of my business. Let me tell you I did not decide on this printer lightly. I had researched for a month before decided to get this model. I went through Epson which is the brand I usually stick to, then hp, then Xerox and then Canon. The main reason I chose this model was that I needed to be able to print on 300gsm or above very easily. All the other brands do not print up to this weight of paper. Their max is 270gsm some even lower. Of course you can use thinker paper like I did with my old Epson printer but you will struggle long term and that could make your printer give up a lot quicker. This Canon model is great because it has 2 ways it handles paper. Your thin standard paper goes in a draw underneath the printer (very cool) and for your thinker paper you fed it from the back of the printer. For print cartridges you do have more 6 in total where before I only had 4 but if you can get compatibles you fine. This printer gets better it has a lcd display which allow you to scan, copy, print graph, lined paper and more options. It scans so fast at if you blink you will miss it. Its a lot more money than what I usually spend but as it's for the business and this is the only model that can handle thick sheets this was the printer for me. It is a good investment in the long term.Canon PIXMA MP990 Network ready Ultimate All-In-One Photo Printer

Fantastic product and excellent service from Amazon with a saving of about £80 below local shops and delivery within 2 days which is free! Anyone who wishes to print excellent quality photo prints including direct from slides and/or negatives and fantastic quality scans should go for this all-in-one. I was afraid that ink usage would be high from reading other reviews but with 6 ink tanks including 2 blacks and a grey this is not a problem at all. Duplex printing on 'fast' is remarkable quality so I recommend this from Amazon 100%.

I really like this printer. It was easy to set up on my iMac, and two MacBooks, running Leopard and Snow Leopard alike - I have it connected to my wireless network and it works flawlessly.
Photos are to me indistinguishable from ones done at Photobox. Black & white photos seem to have a very slight colour cast, but perhaps not as marked as with Photobox. But don't expect the same quality of tone and contrast as you'd get with a darkroom b&w print.
Scanning (in color) seemed a little slow, but I can live with that. Quality of output was great though, with colours only slightly paler than the original (possibly because of cheap paper).
This printer is quite a bit more expensive than other multi-purpose printers, but I feel it's worth the £100 or so extra for the excellent quality of photo prints, photo negative/slide scanning, and general scanning and copying. The MP990 is as good as you're going to get without entering the expensive A3+ pro market.

I haven't had this multifunctional Printer, scanner for more than a few weeks and sadly the scanner seems to have a fault. I hope the replacement will resolve what should be a smart compact piece of kit.

I've been searching for a decent printer which would satisfy my interests in photography. Having researched my needs on the net, this one fits the bill. It may not be perfect - on the negative side:
- it used up the grey ink like it was going out of style. ( 11 x Black A4 / 8 x A4 colour/ 5 x 6 by 4 Black and 8 x 6 by 4 Colour prints)for one cartridge.
- the ink cartridges seem to contain less ink with each new printer introduced by canon (this is my third over the years).
- Inconsistant printing times for similar print sizes.
- It chunters on (using up ink?) during printing.
Having said that I was aware of the above problems before buying the printer but bought it because of the feedback on the quality of printing.
On the positive side the print quality is excellent. I was impressed with the black and white prints which is the main reason I bought the printer in the first place. Once set up the colours were sharp and true to form.
It is possible to buy more reasonably priced compatible cartridges from the net but I cannot vouch for the quality of the results as I have not tried any as yet. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to where to purchase good quality compatible inks.
I have used the scanner a few times and once again was impressed with the results. So far I have not used the duplex printing or Cd printing options.
All in all I am pleased with my purchase from Amazon as their service is second to none and I have used them on numerous occassions without any problems.
The MP990 is a good all in one printer which I would recommend to anyone with a limited budget and space in which to work.

Bought this to replace an Epson printer. Compared quite a few models from various different manufacturers and ended up going for Canon on reputation. Decided to spend a bit more than a bargain basement price to get something decent.
Generally, we are really happy. Quality of printing cannot be faulted for our purposes and is certainly better than our old Epson. Seperate trays for normal and photo paper is useful - although not so useful that one of them (photo paper) is at the back of the printer, so inaccessible if the printer is on a shelf of a computer desk.
Part of the reason for buying this was the Wifi feature - however - this proved unreliable for us. The printer was located virtually next to the router, and yet sometimes seemed to 'disappear', therefore had to resort to plugging it in by network cable - rendering the Wifi feature useless.
Also, when installing the software on different PCs, sometimes they struggle to 'see' the printer on the network, so the software refuses to install - have often had to redo the install several times, reboot etc. before the software finally finds the printer and installs. Once installed, it always seems to work fine.
Final thing, we seem to use more ink than we did with the old Epson printer, but difficult to compare.
So, quality printer but not without some connection issues.

I needed a replacement for an Epson R300 that was getting unreliable and costly to run.
I searched for ages and read plenty of reviews of printers up to £200.
In an emergency, I plumped for an Epson SX515W from a local PC store. This was difficult to set up as the driver for the scanner clashed with an existing installation on my Mac but the error message was far from helpful. It was finally connected after about two hours of reinstalling and searching for redundant drivers. Wireless was intermittent. The Epson was printing odd patchy marks at the top and bottom of prints and multiple runs of the head clean made little to no difference. I gave up after using half the ink on head cleans and returned it to the store.
I finally decided on the Canon MP640 despite preferring the Premium Semi Gloss paper supplied by Epson. The Canon papers all seem to be glossy, but different thicknesses. I had seen a similar Canon model printing on Ilford paper at the Focus on Imaging show at the NEC, with impressive results. I planned to use the Canon with Ilford paper with a similar finish to the Epson media.
The printing on the included Canon paper is of a very high standard.
The printing on Epson Premium Semi Gloss was also very good. If the prints are as durable as they were with the Epson ink, they will be perfectly fine.
Printing on the Ilford Galerie Smooth Lustre Duo paper was variable. Often the colours looked dark and overly heavy. It gave a rather flat image. Disappointing seeing as I had ordered 100 sheets of it!
Time will tell whether I can find suitable alternatives to the Canon paper, or if I will have to use the manufacturers own.
I would recommend the printer. Build quality is better than the Epson. Wireless connection is faultless. Print quality can be excellent on the correct paper.
Amazon prices were the best around. It was certainly better than buying locally at premium prices. Delivery on the free service was quick enough.
By Mr. Edward Lerpiniere (England)
I had no problems whatsoever setting up the wireless system. Just followed the instructions to the letter and it worked within 30 minutes of receiving delivery.

I've had HP printers for the past 10 years - printer scanner copiers; they served me well, but I felt like a change. I did a lot of checks and comparisons; the main features that swayed me to this printer are - double-sided/duplex, wireless and cd/dvd printing.
There are many other features that help to give this machine the "wow" factor; The software and menu interface is easy and a pleasure to use.
When pinting on dvd/cd's you can use a small photo; the printer software will magnify the image, so that it fills the dvd/cd disc face - all without the use of a pc, and just a few menu selections. I'll be using the cd/dvd prinit feature a lot more; archiving photos, saving sky+ programmes to disc; MP3 cd's etc.
Printing user manuals on A5 paper with the double sided feature is a breeze; giving excellent results - even in fast mode.
Inks can be expensive when used a lot, though pc world have a decent range costing half the usual price (e.g 5.99); used with no quality reduction.
The wireless onnection was easy to setup and remains very reliable for three pc's.
Scanning to memory card or pc is easy to complete.
Build quality is good; certainly better than some of the recent HP machines that appear flimsy.
I would thoroughly recommend this printer.
By Mr. J. P. Grimley
Had this printer for 6 days now, up till today it has performed fantastically.
Today while scanning a loud grinding sound could be heard, since that the scanner has failed to work so it is being sent back to amazon for a replacement.
UPDATE
Replacement arrived and is fine great printer

I bought this partly because the dog smashed its predecessor but mainly because we have 3 computers dotted round the house and I wanted them all to be able to print from the same printer wirelessly.
Set up was bit lengthier than for previous printers but pretty straightforward and the main aim of all printers printing to it was achieved without drama.
I have had no call to print photos but all the other functions have worked perfectly.
The bonus is it's a far smarter and more professional looking machine than I have ever owned before.Paper feed is (so far) a dream. Controls are easy, it's pretty quiet, and it looks good. Very happy with it.

I have been struggling with an inadequate printer for such a long time! This Canon printer is wonderful. It produces photographs quickly and very easily and the quality is good. It prints word documents really quickly too and copies single sheets - a feature I didn't even realise it had. Highly recommended!
By G. S. Langley (Sussex)
Unpacking and loading the cartridges was quite easy, just follow the booklet of instructions or on screen help for this and all aspects.
Wireless connection was fine (aided by MW's comments below), basically found the LAN setting on the screen of the printer, entered my wireless router password and hit ok. Searched for the printer on the mac, it recognised the Canon MP560, but would not let me add it as I had no drivers at this stage.
I then downloaded corresponding Mac 10.4.11 drivers from the Canon website for the print and scan functions. Once opened, I was able to see that the Canon560 printer was recognised properly by my Mac, and I printed and scanned without any trouble right away.
Prints and copies fine and good quality, looking forward to photographs now!
By R. Dodd (UK)
I gave up on installing the wireless option and purchased a USB lead.
Apart from this it is an excellent printer/copier/scanner, very easy to use, very clear ink level information and the print quality is very good.
