- Poor quality photo printing & lots of ink problems
I have experienced nothing but hassles with my Canon 580 since I bought it. I'd hardly used the printer when the indicator said I needed to "check ink." It doesn't *always* say that, but it does again now, and it won't even let me scan a document because I need to "check ink" again -- though no ink is necessary for creating a digital file!! I've also been very disappointed with the quality of photo prints it produces. I wish I'd ignored Consumer Reports and gotten another HP all-in-one...

- 5c10 errors-auto doc feeder problems
Pretty good multifunction printer, but the auto doc feeder tends to grab multiple pages to feed at the same time. After about 18 months, I began to get 5c10 Error Messages on my printer screen and flasing lights on the printer. Good printer while it lasted.

- Perfect for the price!
I was looking for an inexpensive fax/copier since I already have several printers. The price on this all in one fax/copier/printer/scanner caught my eye. The favorable reviews that others left made me buy the Canon MP530. I have used the copy, scan and fax functions and all work great.

- Good All-In-One for small business
I have used this machine for two months now and I am extremely pleased with its performance. Printing and copying is quiet, clear and fast. The Quick Start Setup was easy to follow but did not include the information necessary to set up the fax. Unfortunately, the nearly incomprehensible printed manual included in the box did not help and the online manual offered no help whatsoever. If the manual had been better, I would have rated this machine 5 stars.

In the past, I have owned and used HP, Epson and Brother All-In-Ones and so far, I like this one better than any other ever used (except for the manual).

- Buy One And Watch Your Money Evaporate!
I won't just call this printer a rip-off and walk away. No I think there is something more sinister afoot that needs to be addressed head-on. You see, I noticed the ink cartridges that came with my printer went empty almost immediately. I'm talking after only having printed between 40 or 50 pages TOPS. So I thought since they were "freebie" cartridges they weren't filled all the way up. Surely when I purchased new cartridges the ink would last much much longer. WRONG!

I didn't print more than about 50 pages again before the black started getting a warning signal that it was going empty. NOW I was getting ticked. I had JUST paid an outrageous $80 for the ink cartridges and they were already going empty. There was NO WAY I was going to buy another set of cartridges for this printer so I went back to using my old printer. However I still needed to use the Canon MP530 to do scanning because the old one wouldn't scan with my Mac. Or so I thought. I later downloaded updated software that made scanning possible.

Since the black cartridge was not quite empty I thought the scanner would keep working as long as I never printed. WRONG AGAIN! I was able scan about two times. The third time the black cartridge had gone empty and now NOTHING would work. The other cartridges also started showing up as empty as well. I looked and the cartridges ARE empty. So HOW exactly were the ink cartridges going empty if I wasn't printing? There are two possible explanations. One, every time you turn the printer on and off it could be spending ink doing a "cleaning". Two, the ink could be evaporating. My guess is it's both. With both sets of cartridges ALL the cartridges have gone empty about the same time. I estimate I paid about $1.60 a page for the amount of printing I did with the second set of cartridges. THAT'S AN OUTRAGE! Looking at the negative reviews I can see I'm not the only one having this problem.

And by the way lets be clear about something. I mentioned I went back to using my old printer. I'm not going to mention which one. But I will say that printer sat for awhile before I went back to using it. I don't print frequently so we're talking about a year before I went back to using the old standby. And the ink cartridges had been used a quite a bit before I stopped using it--easily over 100 pages. But when I went back to using the old standby the ink had NOT evaporated. I've done a fair amount of printing with those SAME old ink cartridges since I started using that printer again. Between 35 and 50 pages I would guess--maybe more. The black is getting low but they are STILL not empty. The important thing I want to note is the cartridges on my old printer are a FRACTION the size of the Canon printer's cartridges. You'd think the Canon cartridges would last 5 times longer.

As far as I'm concerned the Canon ink cartridges for the MP530 printer are specifically and purposely design to go empty at an absurdly fast rate--even if you leave it sitting. It should be illegal for Canon to do that. At a BARE minimum there needs to be a consumer fraud investigation opened regarding the excessive use of ink on these printers. These printers really need to just be pulled from the market. In addition it would be nice if a class action suit were opened so that those of us who were burned buying this printer can recover some of our money. On a more personal level I'd very much like to see the people responsible for putting this printer on the market tarred and feathered and the whole affair posted on Youtube. In lieu of that it would do my heart good to see them working in the mailroom or cleaning toilets.
