5.0 out of 5 stars bye bye snapfish, December 7, 2009

By	J. H. Erdsneker (Ossining, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The wireless set up was smooth and the printer was easy to set up right from the box.

I choose the Canon 640 after considering several other inkjet printers. I was looking for an alternate to sending my pictures off to other sites to be printed and a printer to handle the occasional other jobs.

I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality print job the Canon 640 produced using Canon paper. Looking forward to reproducing more of my photographs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating experience making this printer work with Snow Leopard, December 27, 2009

By	M. (Philly) - See all my reviews

I have a Mac Mini running Leopard (OSX 10.6) and I connected to this printer/scanner wirelessly. I followed the printed instructions carefully and I used the included CD to install software. The software directed me to the Apple web site, but was gave no explicit instructions on what to do once I got there. After fussing with the software for a couple of hours, I had the notion to search the Apple web site for updated Canon printer drivers. I downloaded them and installed them and now the printer works well but the scanning not so much so. It takes inordinately long for the scanner and computer to connect to two important Apple applications, Image Capture and Preview. The included Canon software (MP Navigator) works faster but interfaces with the user in an idiosyncratic way. After expending effort to learn about these idiosyncrasies, I realized what I really wanted. I wanted to have a seamless installation from the CD, and I wanted to push a button on the scanner and have the scanner connect with Preview or iPhoto quickly like my Canon camera does. I think that this is not too much to expect and so I give this device only 4 stars.
