5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Value, October 1, 2008

I selected this copier/printer based on price, features and the Canon name. I felt like I got "Oh such a deal" at the time I bought mine in Sept.08. It was painless to set up: install the software; plug in the USB cable (not provided) when prompted and click <OK> and Voila! I set it up as a shared printer and it is now the main printer in our 4 PC home network.

- Its quick
- Makes clear, clean copies
- Not as quiet as some when printing but definitely not loud
- Top sheet feeder works well, even for multiple sheets
- Toner cartridge was a breeze to install
- Enters and exits its "sleep" mode flawlessly, even from another PC on the network
- Comes with a FULL TONER CARTRIDGE, not a starter. For those who do not know about this: many new printers, especially when being sold at LOW prices, are sold with a toner cartridge that's only good for a few hundred copies at most. Just enough to get you started on day one and to give you time to go buy a "real" toner cartridge. This is often how the mfg's will move more units, by selling them at super-low prices knowing they will make their profits on you returning for toner.

With the rebate I couldn't pass this up, although if I were paying full retail I would have chosen one that also scans to the PC. This one DOES NOT. It is only a printer and copier. I would also consider one that has a Print server and NIC built-in IF I could also connect directly for scanning.

I would recommend this printer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very outdated, March 20, 2009

I got this having read the other reviews and being relatively new to the land of buying printer/copiers. I'm not sure why this copier was so well reviewed.

I am disappointed with this purchase because. . .

-16pp/m is snail's pace by 2009 standards (wish I'd done that research first).
-The surface glass is tiny and isn't good for anything larger than regular paper size. i.e.) try to photocopy any except small books and you can barely do two pages at a time
-it won't work with Mac at all ever (called Canon)
-return policy for some of these shippers is nonexistent (check first)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good printer and copier, with a few flaws, June 17, 2009

When I first got this machine, I was ready to give it 5 stars. It set up easily and made fast, great quality copies. I noticed a couple of glitches but thought them minor. But after a few days I have discovered shortcomings of the unit, hence the 4-stars. I was considering 3 but figure that's too low since it does basic things well. It is a multi-purpose machine, but not all-purpose.

Pros:
* Excellent quality printing and copies
* Scan-once-print-many I think describes how the machine copies - scans a document once and prints as many copies as you order. Good feature!
* Fast (compared to my old HP LJ5P)
* Simple toner cart loading
* Allows straight-through printing for heavy stock you don't want to curl
* Fairly easy manual paper feed, but with a shut-down quirk (see below)
* Standby mode nice to save energy
* Good price after rebate

Cons:
* It's not a computer-linked scanner as I thought. Looks like one, isn't.
* Paper handling is less than stellar. Paper cartridge falls out if not handled exactly correctly, but paper doesn't come out with it, spilling all over the floor (reminds me of the card game 52 Pickup). The cartridge actually is only half a cartridge -- open at the end inside the printer, not anchored well, feels flimsy. Paper tray on my old HP 5P is years better than this one.
* Machine locks up if you feed an odd-size sheet through the manual paper feed. No way to reset it except unplug. So it prints only one odd-size sheet at a time. Print one, unplug, print another, unplug.... I'm used to a button that clears errors and resets. None on this printer. You can pre-set paper size to avoid the lockup, but sometimes I have one smaller sheet to print for which the unit does not have a setting.
* Kind of big, both footprint and height, but that may not be a problem for you.

The large block of "Cons" makes this look more negative than I feel it should, but those are the negatives I find. If you don't need a machine than scans to the computer, and if you can handle the quirky paper-feed requirements, it's great. At the price, if it were used just as a copier for a small office it would be well worth the price.
