- Dies soon after 1 year warranty
I am frustrated with this printer and many others. They seem to die on me soon after the 1 year warranty is past. Printer says yellow ink tank is out when, in fact, it is full, and it's the second new tank I've tried. Every print job stalls: I have to open the cover, reset the tank and start again. I read online that soon it will die completely. Customer service suggests taking it for diagnostic review at unknown cost--closest place is 1 hour drive. And then to replace the print head would be almost as much as a new printer. This is apparently a common problem.

Quality of prints was very good but I am so annoyed with the planned obsolescence on these products, especially considering how expensive it has been to keep replenishing ink tanks.

- Works for me!
I've had this printer for over a year now and have had no problems with it at all. Because I like to print things other than a standard size (envelopes, cards, etc.), I wanted a straight paper feed for less jamming and I have not had one jam in all this time. The colors are vivid, especially photos. When I print a flyer or photograph on glossy paper, it truly looks professional. If I spray it with a fixative, it lasts forever. I have not had any issues with the ink tanks but I do search the web for the cheapest prices, as long as it is actually Canon. Easy to set up, pretty quick printing of photos or text, but I am a dinosaur from the printer stone age so my viewpoint may be skewed. It also prints quietly and has cleverly designed input and output trays. I have not used the auxiliary lower paper tray very much at all but I'm glad it's there. I do notice a slight pinkness to black and white photos but it might be my software - it is less noticeable with Elements than with Digital Image. The same photos have a green cast at Walmart. I would buy this printer again if it broke tomorrow.

- Wish I liked it better
I've had the printer for over a year now. It prints good and crisp. Nothing to complain about that. Works great with my Mac, too. But there is one gripe that I'll mention. When I put something in the queue to print, the printer does this "pre warmup" routine. Little motors start a turnin'. Whirring, whirring and more whirring. 30-40 seconds later, it's ready and actually starts to print the document. Then if you print another document, it loads up and prints without the buzzing and whirring. But if you turn off the printer, expect to wait another 30-40 seconds when you press print.

Can I person wait that long? How long does his sanity last? I wish I liked the printer more. It hasn't failed me yet. But waiting so long to print a document is tiresome.

- problems with ink cartridges in less than a year
I use my printer infrequently, so my first set of ink tanks lasted about 6 months. I replaced the PGI Black cartridge (one of the 5 that this printer uses) with an authentic Canon one which cost about $16. Now the printer won't print black at all. I have cleaned and deep cleaned the print head, checked the cartridge lights, followed all instructions on the manual. All seems ok but it still won't print black text - which is the one that I use most often.

When it worked, I liked the clear printing and especially the duplex printing capabilities. The cost of the cartridges and the significant failure rate of the same is really disappointing.

I am ready to throw this printer out, but I worry about the landfill impact of this shoddy piece of engineering.

- Great product
Great color photos. Ink doesn't last too long, but it is worth it for the convenience of great color prints at home.
