Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

I received the aforementioned and installed it on my computer. The printer works as advertised. The print quality is excellent. Noise level is tolerable but much higher than my old i550. One disadvantage is that the color ink tank is all in one in contrast to the i550 which had seperate ink tanks for each color which will result in higher operating cost to replace the ink tanks. I also had to reposition all my old setups to accomodate the Pixma MP480. If you are looking for a high quality first time photo printer this is one that should be given serious consideration.

Had this printer for 3 months when it crapped out, returned it to cannon and they sent a replacement which has been working great.

Do a search for error codes Pixma on the net. Youll find out. I know for a fact that some can be fixed through the internal computer on the printers but Canon hides the fact to squeeze you.

perfect

Pleased with this printer, and for such a small price, it more than compensates for any shortcomings!

This used printer came in good condition which was a wonder considering the box looked like it had been handled by a gorilla. The printer is working OK..... but, the problem is it came without the user guide and from China. The shipper knew it was going to America and it would have been nice if they had put it in to the English language. We have not tried real hard to put it in to English and Im sure that we will be able to do that. Just keep in mind that this can happen when your product is coming from a country other than America. Other than that one little problem, we are happy with our purchase. Thxs.

Have had this printer for about a year. Worked well enough until we upgraded Mac operating system to Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.2 - then things started to go wrong. Printer required new driver download and still wont print accurately. Print preview shows documents in correct format, but printer spins an extra blank page and wont print text with correct spacing from letterhead. Also encounter other problems with Mac/Pixma interface, but wont detail them all. Dont know if problems are caused by Snow Leopard or Canon. Apparently they are not made for each other. Gobbles ink, but it printed nicely until the Canon/Mac interface failed.

Cannot believe Cannons dirty little secret - you cant scan if you are out of ink. What a cheap scam from Cannon, a respectable company would resort to holding your scanner hostage if you dont buy their exorbitantly priced ink. Worthless.

Printer works great on my iMac/Macbook. Scanning software is pretty clunky, though. Sometimes it has a problem where the paper gets jammed due to the way the paper sits in the up right tray. If you rotate the paper 180 degrees so that the leading edges curve is point down it fixes the problem. I went through about 50 jammed pages before I figured that one out :/

This is a wonderful printer for the price. It has a stand alone feature where you can use your memory card from a digital camera and print without being connected to your PC. The entire system workes great with Windows Vista, which is a plus. The ink cartridges are the easiest to install of any printer that I have had. I really had to have a preview window screen and could not find another printer with all these features at anywhere near this price.
