I''ve owned the MX300 for about two months now. If you''re sure about your priorities, this MFP could be fine for you -it is for me. I mainly print text documents of 5 pages or less for my own use -I don''t need the best text quality. I also wanted the ability to fax, but I don''t need to fax more than a page or two every week. I receive a few pages a week as well.

Overall, the MX300 was easy to set up. I wasn''t sure how well it would work with my single-line digital phone from Time Warner. The instructions were of little help with fax setup, but it wasn''t difficult to figure out, and it works well. Fax quality is very good, very legible.

Photo output is mixed. The smoothness and color is good --it''s just that the color is really not accurate at all. Color scans also have this problem. If you can calibrate your monitor to the printer, you can get better color, but I find color is pretty far off from the originals. So if color isn''t that important to you, photos are fine.

One nice aspect is the small footprint compared to other MFPs, which was a priority for me. Be aware that the ''starter'' ink cartridges that come with this model won''t last long -mine gave out after only a couple of weeks of low-volume printing. The printer will SAY it''s out of ink before it actually is (you can turn off the ink monitor if you poke around in the menu). Replacement cartridges cost nearly $45 -I''m still using the full cartridges, so not sure how long they will last.

Overall, this MFP works well for me -it''s small (though very noisy)and it can fax (send/receive) and it was cheap.

I use my MX300 for printing, scanning, and faxing. I haven''t used it for photos and do not plan to use it for that. The MX300 was super easy to install. It works great only issue is that the cartridges are expensive and the MX300 uses the ink fast. I have owned the computer about 4 months and have just had to install the 3rd set of cartridges. The cartridges are PRICY for such an inexpensive printer thus though the MX300 works well, I may have to buy something else within the year.

I was excited about this all-in-one based on reviews, but I quickly discovered that its scanner--though entirely decent--had a smaller scanning bed than my 5-year-old stand alone scanner (so much for getting rid of that). The far bigger problem is that it goes through ink carts really fast and will refuse to print if it feels unhappy with its ink levels. I don''t know what a better inexpensive Mac-friendly printer is, but I''m pretty sure there''s got to be one and I wish I''d found it before I''d voted with my dollar.

Want Canon Pixma MX300 Office All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2182B002) Discount?

I''m very pleased with this item, especially the scanning option. It''s very fast and the copies are as good as a copier.

The unit is large, but that was understood before I purchased it. Paper trays do not handle much. The unit does not weigh much at all. However, the quality and speed for a light duty machine are very good. Print detail using my MAC is excellent. For a student, your parents, or as a backup for the home office, this unit is perfect. As with many printers like this, color ink tanks are small, therefore, set the printer default to b/w, and save the color for when you really need it, especially when printing pages off the web.
