Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

Pros: This printer is very good and easy to use. Cons: The MP480 printer is a Slot machine because the refilled ink cartridge could not be used. This printer would NOT scan or do anything else if the ink cartridge is empty. And it works only with BRAND NEW ink cartridge.

Do a search for error codes Pixma on the net. Youll find out. I know for a fact that some can be fixed through the internal computer on the printers but Canon hides the fact to squeeze you.

I purchased this printer two weeks ago to replace an unsatisfactory Kodak printer. The MP480 has a fairly small footprint, and it handles paper quite well. As for printing? Excellent. Even on the cheap (20#) all-purpose paper I use much of the time, colors are bright and clear, and so are the images. It will make you wonder whether all is well as it grumbles to itself while it prepares to print, but its fine, and you can turn down the noise for color printing. Its too early to tell whether it uses a great deal of ink, but even so, its a dependable, highly competent printer for the price.

Had this printer for 3 months when it crapped out, returned it to cannon and they sent a replacement which has been working great.

Good

The Canon MP480 works great for my needs as a light-use USB-connected printer and scanner, and as a photocopier. Its inexpensive but provides quality color printing and excellent scans. I personally like the way it closes up with no exposed buttons or parts when not in use. For those in need of fax functionality, be aware that is not included.

Wow, just what the doctor ordered! She even looks good! Like the closed dust protection features, ease of use, and quality of prints considering the price. There is no better deal on the net! Shes my first printer so I did my home work on this one. Very happy with Amazon and loved the FREE shipping! I highly recommend this if your looking desktop printer in this price range. She is a little loud, so use it before you put the kiddies to sleep. Ok just kidding, shes not that loud.... Thanks Amazon Ill be back

This replaced an identical printer that broke. Very happy with it.

I was looking for an inexpensive photoprinter for a member of the family and purchased this printer, having always been satisfied in the past with Canon products. I found the Canon MP480 to function quite well in both scanning and printing. Installing it was no problem. Very glad I purchased iot and the price cannot be beat. David

Its easy to use. Gives great color for documents and photos. More than adequate for home use. Ink use is OK but Ive had other models that use less ink with just as good color.,
