I bought this photo printer after researching several on the internet before Christmas.
We are a military family stationed in a rural overseas area and needed just a printer I could use to send 4 X 6 (and smaller) family pictures to the states and elsewhere.
That was my main reason for buying a photo printer. I looked at several other makes. My requirements were: Something compatible and easy to set up as we run both Mac and PC platforms in my family. Did not want to have to buy the proprietary 'ink and paper' route. Wanted at least an option of getting generic ink if I wanted to do that.
And wanted small as already have an overcrowded desk.
Bought this and am very happy. Easy to set up with Mac (I run Mac OS X 10.4.3). Have not tried it on the PC yet but I am sure that will go smooth also. No problems at all in set up. Prints beautiful pictures on either Epson or Canon glossy but I would not use anything else. A Kodak paper I had which state it suited Canon printers brought terrible results. It is amazing the quality I can get from just three inks. I cannot imagine anyone but the pickiest of people being unhappy with these prints. Everything I have printed has been from the computer. Nothing via camera yet. I had heard the quality was a little less that way but for me this is the usual way I print. Cartridges are not too expensive either. 75 prints from each and really almost just as cheap as anything generic. I would heartily recommend this printer to anyone looking at photo printers. I did see some negative comments on a few other photo review sites but to me unfounded. Look around for good deals, I got this for $84 with a $15 dollar off coupon. Great value for money.

For a dedicated photo printer, I enjoy the ease of getting prints with the Canon software interface. This little number produces nice output. Consumables deplete rapidly but they don't scare you at the register. Ink tanks can be had for under $10.
Some trouble with white edges on borderless prints, but power cycling seems to solve it.
Paper tray leaves sheets hanging out in front where they are in the way.
I use this printer to get quick snaps for fun and transmit or take my serious stuff to the photo finisher for prints. That said I'm happy enough with this purchase as it fits my need without regrets.

This is a very easy to use printer, creates very nice 4x6 prints directly from memory cartridges. The screen is a bit small, but works. Printing is very quiet, and reasonably rapid. Printer supplies are very reasonable. A single tank, couldn't be easier than that. The styling is a bit long in the tooth today, but at this price, it's a great deal.

One warning, and it's clearly stated in the owner's manual, you must use the ink within 6 months of opening the cartridge. If you leave the ink in for longer, prints will be totally messed up. So, use the ink, make prints!!

I love this little printer. Easy to use and compact. I have had no problems using solo with the memory card or hooked to the pc. Prints great pics in about 60 seconds.

Printer works fine, prints excellent pictures. Setup with the cable connect was a bit technical (This was purchased for 87 year old father-in-law). Printing from the memory stick was a more straight-forward. A good value.

I ordered this item from Amazon.com because of the instant rebate and ink offer. I was FLOORED when I saw the quality of the pictures printed. This printer is so easy to use, I started printing in minutes. So far I have printed almost 100 pictures and it's still going strong.
BUY this printer if you like taking and printing pictures.

Really Good Quality Photos! Extremely easy to setup! Reads photos from disk, directly from camera (yeah you don't have to upload them, and then print pictures) or you could use your laptop. This was a really great buy!

I was amazed at the quality and easy use of this printer. For the low price and the extra $40 value with two ink tanks & 140 sheets of canon paper it's about the best deal you can get for the quality. If you have a canon camera already, it produces decent quality prints. You don't have to have a canon camera to use this item. You must use cannon paper only, I tried Hp paper and it prints on it but not as good as cannon. You can only take 4x6 photo's.

we recently purchased the printer for our camera and it has been awesome to be able to carry and print pictures right there while on vacation or right when we get home from a trip.

I have never been so happy with a photo printer! So easy to use and the prints are unbelievable! Well worth the money!
