2.0 out of 5 stars Decent output; outrages maintenance cost., June 11, 2007

This printer produces decent output for this price range. Real-world Speed is quite good and appropriate for any occasional printing. A bit on the wide side but does not occupy too much desk space. My main complaint however, is that Canon (like most other printer manufacturers for low-end printers) sells the black dye and color ink cartridges at a very steep price. The black cartridge only comes with 11 ml of ink and the color cartrige comes with only 3 ml for cyan, magenta or yellow. So be ready for high costs per printout. At first, I thought this printer would be appropriate for the occasional printout but each (full) cartridge replacement costs ¾ of the printer's initial cost. Therefore, I cannot recommend this printer. Get a higher end model even if you do not expect to print that much as long-term costs will be lower.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Frills Printer: Just What I Want, July 30, 2007

I needed to replace my HP8150 Printer. My Hp hit the skids during the "simple" operation of changing the ink. A tiny piece of plastic broke off and that doomed the printer.

The Canon PIXMA iP 1800 was interesting as the price was low and it was only one of a few printers available that were not either small photo printers or the all-in-one printers. I already have a fax machine and a scanner, so I was not going to spend the money for things I did not need.

I needed a printer that could print some picture and also deliver printed text.
I also, was looking for simple operation. The Canon is simple to operate. It does what I need it to do.

I bought this locally at a famous low-price leading retailer on an impulse (I needed a new printer anyway). They had it for about 10% less than Amazon which I thought, thought, was a great deal. Little did I know it was not. The old adage does hold true for this printer, "you get what you pay for."

First off, I know the ink cartridges that come with new printers are just to get you started. I printed off 10 4x6's and the color ink was already showing 1/4 gone. The ink is cheap though but you don't get a whole lot in each cartridge.

Secondly, the pictures, when I printed them were brighter than what I showed on my screen. So much so that they were almost washed out. I tried adjusting the brightness in the printer options but it didn't do anything.

Lastly, maybe I'm just used to my other printer, but not having an output tray is a pain!

The only really cool feature that I found was the software that enable borderless printing. It let you automatically crop your photos to fill the whole paper.

If you want a decent photo printer I might look elsewhere.
