After switching to Vista, we couldn''t get working drivers for our old printer and scanner. We first tried an HP all-in-one, but it had multiple paper jams from the get-go. So we tried the Canon. We''ve had this printer for about a month, and it''s fantastic in all regards. SOFTWARE is simple to use, and doesn''t take over your computer the way that HP software does. SCANNER is fast and easy. PRINTER puts out very good copies, and the "Light" setting is useful for basic printing while not using too much ink. The design is small and boxy (it reminds me of a 1950''s refrigerator, but small), and doesn''t take up much space. You can use it as a copier without the computer being on, which is quite handy.

The one I received from a 3 party didn''t work right the paper wouldn''t feed. Luckily, I kept the warranty information and luckily Canon said that it WAS new and still under warranty. They sent me a re-conditioned printer which works great and is still under the same warranty as my new one. Plus I got more free ink! So, I can''t complain about Canon and their warranty claiming process no hassle at all!

Also, you can control the sound of the printer by going into the printer properties and telling it to remain quiet all the time (or you can tell it print quietly at certain times). I am not really clear why someone would LOVE to have a noisy printer (it actually startled me the first time I heard it), but when I told it to "be quiet", the noise wasn''t too bad.

this is a really nice little printer. It''s cute, it''s reasonably quiet, paper feeds smoothly, documents print clean & crisp. I''ve never been so pleased with an inexpensive printer.

I can''t comment on scanning or photo-quality printing as I haven''t used those features but just as a general printer this is really nice. I''m very happy!

I''ve had this printer for coming up on two years, and it is a decent printer that was worth what I paid from Best Buy with my laptop, but not worth the current $150 price tag on here. I don''t recall it being very difficult to set up with the software, and mechanically it is not complicated. It is easy to use from either your computer or the printer itself, where it has a dedicated "scan" button and "black" and "color" buttons for copying. It did take me a couple minutes when I first started using it to realize that "duplex" printing meant double-sided. The print quality is decent. For black and white and basic color it''s fine; if you want to print photos, which I have done plenty of for flash cards, the quality is, again, decent. It doesn''t look wonderful, but it''s adequate. If you''re looking to print photos you can proudly display, look elsewhere. The print speed, once it gets going, is pretty good. However, you have to wait generally around 30-45 seconds before it will actually print anything, because it always decides that it wants to do whatever it''s doing making a bunch of noise for a while after you click the "print" button before it''ll actually start printing. If you''re looking for a quiet printer, definitely look elsewhere. It''s loud both in this pre-print ritual and when it is printing. Finally, the ink consumption is awful. Really, this thing drains ink like there''s no tomorrow, so be prepared to be purchasing more cartridges often if you print a lot. The good thing is that it doesn''t have dedicated color cartridges like some printers; it just has a single black and a single color cartridge.

Bottom line: if the price is still $150 here, don''t buy it. It is not worth it. If you see it somewhere else cheap (seems to me like mine was $30 or so with my laptop at Best Buy) and don''t mind the issues stated above, go ahead. For basic printing purposes it is really a pretty decent printer.

This is a very well built printer, I absolutely love it. I have scanned THOUSANDS of 3x5 and 4x6 pictures for my mom and her friends on this scanner. I have would then easily put them on a dvd. This scanner could scan 4 at a time. Such a time saver. I haven''t had an problems with this printer, which is rare with printers. The only negative is that it is loud, that''s why I call it a monster.
