Not to mention an ink hog. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I'm amazed at the photo quality and speed at geting the job done. The ink cartridges are actually reasonably priced in comparison. very pleased in Washington state I replaced a lexmark 5400 with it. That thing was a real dinosaur.
And, in perusing various Mac Forums, this seems to be a common problem. So, if you have a Mac and don't care about scanning, it's a very nice printer.
It looks like my daughter will have an early Christmas present. Otherwise, forget it.
I bought this printer just over a year ago and really liked it - until I bought a Mac. I need the scan to work due to my small home business.
I'm trying to find a Canon printer that will scan and uses the same ink cartridges, which are expensive, but I'm afraid to try another Canon, just for this reason. It will not scan, period.
Of course, I bought a bunch of ink just before I discovered this flaw.
I'm still on my original ink cartridges, with the exception of black which I just replaced, and have found the device pays for itself with its reliability and time-saving features. The good thing is these settings are automatically set, but can be tooled around with if the user desires to do so. When compared to other devices which may or may not have these features, and usually end up breaking in about a year (see anything by HP or Lexmark) there is really no comparison. I use this Canon Pixma MP610 in my home office and have done so for about 6 months, I've found the device to be worth every penny I paid for it and more. It allows me to effortlessly copy, print, scan and it has many of the advanced setting of a printer double it's price.
I have been using it for two months and have had no problems to date. I especially like the dual paper feeds. However, I live in fear of the U150 error that I learned about just after buying the MP610. The Canon MP610 is a solidly built machine. It performs all its functions very well and is easy to setup and install its software.
I also like the individual ink cartridges. You can print from these programs, but I have found that the picture quality isn't near as good if you do. I have both Kodax Easy Share and Olympus photo software on my computer.
This is the best printer I have owned. I use it mainly for printing photos and I haven't been disappointed yet. Great printer.
I have notoiced that the quality of the photos turn out better if you use the Easy Print EX software that comes with the Canon printer. When one color runs out you only have to replace the color you need instead of buying a new tri color cartridge. It's fast and the picture quality is wonderful.
The size of the printer is bigger then I thought it would be, but I don't mind.
