This printer is replacing an old Epson Stylus Photo 780 that I've had for years. I was really unhappy with the Epson because the ink heads clogged up constantly. I also wanted the newest printer possible, since I've had problems with other devices not updating their drivers, so this printer fit the bill. The Canon printer has been wonderful for me so far. It was easy to set up and install and worked right away. I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac, so I had to download the actual driver from Canon's web site, but this is easy to do and pretty self-explanatory. I love that the printer is all enclosed. The regular paper sits in a tray at the bottom, and everything can be closed up so that dust doesn't get into it. Photo paper is loaded at the rear. This printer has individual ink cartridges, a plus in my opinion. I am using it lightly (10-15 regular color pages, 1-2 photos per week) so I have not dented the supply level on the ink cartridges, and can't really comment on how fast the ink runs out. The print quality is pretty good for the regular paper, and very good for photos. I was very impressed with the photos that I printed, they were sharp and the color was great. The software drivers are adequate and not too confusing. I found this printer very easy to use and of good quality. I'm very happy with it, and it's miles better than my old Epson. 44 of 45 people found the following review helpful. A Change of Opinion 8 Months Later. Originally, a Beautiful High Resolution Photographics, Eats Ink, But a Great Step Up By Ethan A. Winning Aug. 2010, 8 months later: I've had to change my opinion of this printer. It still puts out the best photos I've seen from any inkjet printer, and I've had my share. The colors are true and vivid. However, to get true and vivid, you can go broke on the ink. This printer was costing me so much in ink that I no longer print a "good photo" until two to three weeks after taking it. That's just to be sure that it's as good as I initially thought, haven't taken a better shot since, and that I'm willing to use the ink. And, I've switched from 8x10 to 5x7 prints. In 8 months, I've spent over $300 on ink!!!! Second, I couldn't understand why everyone was complaining about how slow this printer was. When I first got it, I thought it was fast. Now, it's either slowed down to a snail's pace, or I'm just now paying attention. This is not my primary printer, and I wasn't really paying attention until one day I didn't use my LaserJet IV (almost 18 years old and still going strong, but B&W), and just left it set on the PIXMA, and I swear it took the better part of 5 minutes to get around to printing the photo. Then, I printed a one page black and white note. Not even the font was fancy: Times Roman, 12 pt. It took 90 seconds to get a page printed. Why the difference in perception? I warned in my initial review that you had to set the printer on "draft" when printing just a B&W document. Well, after printing a batch of photos on high quality, I forgot to reset it to draft. It's a pain in the ... neck, but the difference in speed is phenomenal. And "draft quality" is actually very good for a document, even a document that has a few color font changes. Would I recommend this printer? No. Would I buy it again? Probably, and the reason is that I just don't know what printer would have the quality of prints. Speed is not that important when it comes to my photographic endeavors. Speed is important for the handbooks and manuals that I write, and my old HP has yet to fail me. If speed and ink costs are important, DO NOT buy this printer. In a Wall Street Journal article from last year, it stated that 80% of HP's profits come from in sales. What? You thought that a $79 printer was too good to be true? Well, I've known about ink costs
