Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

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.

I received the aforementioned and installed it on my computer. The printer works as advertised. The print quality is excellent. Noise level is tolerable but much higher than my old i550. One disadvantage is that the color ink tank is all in one in contrast to the i550 which had seperate ink tanks for each color which will result in higher operating cost to replace the ink tanks. I also had to reposition all my old setups to accomodate the Pixma MP480. If you are looking for a high quality first time photo printer this is one that should be given serious consideration.

Wonderful printer. Still going strong after 5-6 years. Easy to use. Highly recommended.

I recently replaced my ink cartridge but Im having a problem. Every time I print many lines on the page appear with a black line running through them. Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone have a suggestion of how to fix this problem? Thanks, Shira

First off, this printer has met all my needs. I am a poor college student who needs an all in one printer but cant afford those crazy $300-400 dollar printers. This MP-480 fulfills all of my expectations and is great! Here were my printer criteria. 1) scanner to scan pictures and trading cards to sell on ebay, 2) color printer and copier because the library doesnt have color printers (I need color copies for projects and papers that involve pictures) and copier to make those emergency copies when I dont have time to go to the library, 3) something not too big. The MP480 fills all those needs. First it looks very stylish and folds up very nicely to prevent dust from getting into anywhere. And, it makes great photocopies, good enough scans of pictures and trading cards, and prints like a charm. Basically if you run a home office, this printer isnt for you because its kind of slow when making copies and runs out of ink quickly. Pros; Very easy to install cartridge (unlike my former HP deskjet .. hated installing cartridge.. believe it or not would take an hour sometimes), compact and nice design (basically is like a box when all folded up to make easy to carry and store), all in one printer, lcd screen is very simple to operate and not complicated, paper adjusting mechanism installed on paper tray that makes it so easy to print photos, $50 rebate when order from B+H, The only cons: doesnt come with printer cable, scanner quality is about average, is loud when printing, not wireless, and toner goes out quickly. For the toner issue when you buy the replacement cartridge in XL I heard that the ink lasts so much longer. You should opt for that if you end up purchasing this printer. Hey, but in the end this printer I would highly recommend to any college student! All those cons was after about a 1/2 month of usage is because I am very picky. But really, I have no right to complain because I payed $80 for all these things. One printer, copier, or color copier alone cost that much money. And with the proposed $50 rebate that BH promised me, I basically will pay $30 for this printer!!! after the rebate comes from BH. I have yet to receive the $50 rebate, but B+H has a very good record and I trust that they will deliver on their promise

Received this printer with the I-Mac. We like the features e.g., copy & scan. However, as noted in other reviews, this printer eats up the ink. If we were printing more B & W, I definitely would consider a laser printer.

A great product at a great price. Canons service was exceptional when the first machine was a dud; they sent another right away. The second machine works fine. Ive heard this from another MP480 customer. All is well with both purchases.

This printer was very reasonably priced. It is more than I had hoped for. I am able to print out 4 x 6 inch pictures, which is the main reason I bought it. I have a laser printer for most of my other needs. But this also makes copies, like a miniature xerox copier, which is extremely handy. It also acts as a regular printer. It was a great investment for me. The quality of the pictures I print out is high quality. The cartridges are pretty expensive, but even though I use this printer often, the cartridges last close to a year, so in the long run, I guess the cost of the cartridges isnt so bad.

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 had an HP all-in-one for a few years (2nd one). Always had issues with printing, responding from computer, quality, etc. Decided to give the Canon a try.Best money Ive ever spent on a printer. Easy to use, quick setup, print quality is great. Very user friendly. Great if you have school age kids.
