Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

this printer does many different things. photo prints come out great. the copy is good. i have printed cards. i have been having so much fun with my printer. it is easy to install. does not use a lot of toner. i have had many printers in the past years, this is the best.

i love this printer, it works great. its not SUPER loud but it does make noise but thats fixable since it has a quiet mode. picture quality is good, it actually surprised me. i also like that it has preset templates, for example you can print a checklist or notebook page just by selecting the option, i also like that it has a button to print color copies and one to print black and white copies this works great since you dont have to turn on the computer to choose a setting. it can actually do a lot of things without a computer except for maybe printing a document thats ON your computer but it can print it without the computer if its on a memory card. i was expecting some updates from my lexmark 3 in 1 dinosaur but i was just amazed at all the things this printer can do. Im sure if what you want is a for heavier buisness use you might disagree with me but if you want it for your average home use its perfect, and the price is a total bargain! the ink is a bit pricey compared to lexmark but i purchase the XL and i really dont print too many things so it works for me.

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

It is very easy to use and gets the job done, however it gets a lot of paper jams and the ink runs out quickly.

I see that we have owned this since early March, 2009, nearly six years. We sell online and do a lot of printing. This printer has served us well. We actually own another. its a good thing... I had an error message just now. The Ink absorber is full. Who knew? I have researched the steps. It is kind of a dirty job. And the counter must be reset. The information is freely available online. The new part is only available from Canon. Here on Amazon they sell six models. I was unable to determine which one is for this machine. Here is a middle-priced one: http://www.amazon.com/Sparepart-Canon-ABSORBER-SHEET-QC1-0049-000/dp/B001U0AM0C/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423692732&sr=1-4&keywords=canon+ink+absorber It is $38 plus $35 to ship it... say WHAT? For a little sponge thing?? Oh, and one is $524: http://www.amazon.com/Sparepart-Canon-Waste-Absorber-QM1-0659-000/dp/B0077JQSXK/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423692732&sr=1-5&keywords=canon+ink+absorber They >cant< be serious. *Sigh.* Good thing we have another similar one that hasnt seen much use. We will switch them out.

I dont think I have ever written a negative review in my life, but for this product I will make an exception. The printer never realizes when it has paper in it and if it does it often jams. I see that this is a common problem from other reviews. Also the scanner would not work on the first one so we returned it but the scanner does not work on the new one either. The most frustrating part is the paper feeder which takes about 10-20 tries of reloading the paper to get it to work. Save yourself the time and hassle of this machine and you will add a few years of free time to your life.

I bought this printer to replace my MP360 which I had for ten years & loved it. To bad they dont make that one anymore or I would have gotten it again. Anyway, this printer does very well over all. The only drawback is it really goes through an ink cartridge rather quickly which disappoints me because of the cost of them. I do a lot of photography work & the quality of the photos is excellent, just those darn cartridges empty fast.

This printer is great! My printed and copied documents print quickly, the scanner is very easy to use, and pictures print beautifully! I scanned a school picture and printed if off, it looked professionally printed, I couldnt believe the quality! Im very happy with this printer and glad that ink isnt very expensive!

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 had to replace the printer head after one month. I had the identical printer for 6 years and never encountered this problem.
