Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

Have used this printer now for two years and it is still functioning well. Other than the usual complaints of high-cost ink and no faxing abilities, my only complaint (recently discovered) is that all functions shut down when the ink on this printer runs dry. For example, I need to scan a document into my computer. I ran out of ink yesterday and received an error from the printer. Even after shutting it off, the error is still there and I cannot override it to scan, despite the fact this doesnt require any ink. VERY INCONVENIENT, poor programming. Still, for the initial cost of this printer its a good deal, especially if you dont print all the time and are conservative with ink.

I ordered this printer, I can only see disadvantage in it: 1.takes long to start printing, guess it is wrming up 2. inks run down very quickly 3. scanner does a nonsense with the OCR documents 4.the photo quality; is not all that I expected 5. Too costly for the quality of prints 6. HP better any day.

I replaced a HP printer with this Canon printer because of all the favorable reviews this printer had, and am so sorry I did that! I have to have the printer on my desk, and with this printer, for each new page Im printing, I have to stand up to place the paper into the slot at the back. With the HP printer, I could stay seated for all the paper feeding. As if that isnt enough of a problem, each time I put a new paper in the printer for printing, I must hit the processing button, and each time that has to be done, it takes between 25-30 seconds (I counted them) before the printer starts up, again. When you are printing a long document, this takes way too much time! I cant understand why any of the other reviews are so positive- how I wish I had just gotten a new HP printer!

I owned Lexmark Pinter about 4 of them and 3 HP. I like this one the best, even it was less expensive than my other printer. Reason: I never had a printer in which the Ink lasted 3X as long as Lexmark, the other printer nickel and dimes you to dead over the ink to expensive and does not last. Cannon ist excellent

The title just about says it all. The quality of this printer is fine. Ive owned many printers in my life, but this is by far the biggest ink hog I have ever had.

I just using it as a scanner. It has the best function Ive never seen before which can scanner a book as one pdf fire and just using one button.

easy set up, easy use- scans, copies and prints pretty well. Not bad at all for the price. It does use a fair amount of ink but thats about par for the course for an inkjet.

Great printer and scanner! Pictures come out very nice and clear. It can be a little noisy, but the quality is worth it.

Giving me an error code telling me ink overflow is filled, disabling printer. Call to Canon support informs me no replacement part is available, cannot be replaced or emptied at home. Gave me a local authorized repair place that wanted close to the purchase price to repair it. No reset code is available to reset the unit. Their solution...well offer you a lower cost printer at a 10% discount. Not the fault of the support people, but in poor design. Very poor design, making an otherwise fine printer obsolete, forcing me to buy a new printer.

It is too soon to evaluate this printers endurance. I use it infrequently. So far it has provided excellent results. It is slow in set up, and the series of movements involved in set up produce odd, star-wars-robot type sounds which still surprise me. But it prints efficiently, is easy to use, and is, so far, reliable.
