Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Inkjet Printer (2435B002)

Using it with Mac OS X v10.5 connected to the airport wireless hub so that it functions as a network printer for all the macs in the house. Blazing fast, excellent color print quality. I dont intend to use it for photos. Print cartridges are less expensive than most. Set up was simple plug and play. Very pleased.

Printer works fine. I have two other of these same printers on my other computers, and I am able to use the same ink cartridges on all of them. Thats a big plus.

As soon as I opened the box I removed the printer and set it up. I immediately discovered that the paper tray was detached and broken. I then tried to print and found that the flashing yellow light indicated a problem that could not be repaired. I had previously owned two identical printers, and wanted one just like it. The manufacturer has discontinued the model, which is why I purchased the used Canon printer. The previous two Canon printers that I had owned had the same problem. I took each of them to two technicians and both of them told me that they could not be repaired. Why did the seller send me a printer that did not work from the beginning? Of course I had prepaid for my order, using a credit card. When I reported to the seller that the machine was not working he quickly offered to refund my purchase price. We had been communicating through the Amazon e-mail process. I waited to receive the sellers check and nothing happened. When I inquired he then asked me to return the nonworking printer and THEN he would send a refund. I complied with his request. I wrapped the printer carefully and sent it by UPS immediately. When I tracked UPS I learned that it was delivered to the owner at his home. STILL there has been no response from the seller, and no refund! I have documented all our correspondence.

I bought this printer from Walmart for about $30 or so. Canon did a terrible job with this printer! It does print, and it can print some nice photos - not top quality but decent and usable. Its not really fast, but its not horribly slow. One thing to note - it has a design flaw - there is only one side of the paper tray that has a feeding mechanism and its faulty. It complains it has no paper constantly and may print crooked if not babysat. If I had more money at the time, I wouldnt have bought this printer, I would have purchased a different brand or a different model. The saying applies here - you get what you pay for. Ive had it for about a year and Im tired of fighting with it. I hate this printer!

Ive mostly used this printer for the last few years of college; alot of text, color powerpoints, etc. but not so much full-size color photos. I agree it is a bit of an ink sucker but I have found you can get quite a bit of mileage from the cartridges after the low warning comes on. I keep a new cartridge handy and dont replace until it physically runs out. The occasional reprint is worth it to me because of how many more jobs I can get out of it that way. Other than that, the printer has held up beautifully to a few years of active use and I have no complaints about style, function, or features. A good overall printer, I think, if youre not photo-heavy and willing to max the cartridge.

While went to buy the Ink for my HP Photosmart printer, I noticed this printer from Canon for just $30 and bought this one without any second thought ($30 is way cheaper than the HP inks). Installation went without an issue on my Vista PC, and I am not finding printing speed an issue. So far so good. I prefer to stay with Canon than HP for following reasons. 1) HP uses color ink even when choosing black printing. Though I print black and white prints, but HP makes me to buy color inks more often than b&w 2) HP expires the ink after some period. HP wants to generate constant money flow, but IMO this is not a way to do. Thanks Suriya.

The printer is fast and simple to use, but I am disappointed in the print quality of photos.

Great printer and fast delivery. Thank you.

Print quality is decent, but relatively slow and loud. My complaint is the feed mechanism. It sucks. It started by giving errors for no paper with a full paper tray, then started feeding paper crooked. If I want to print a page, itll take 10-12 tries to eventually get it right. Just terrible. Buy something else. Wish I had.

What I ORDERED was a new printer, and while I haven’t yet tried hooking it up, it doesn’t look like a new one. Their are no power cords, no instructions and it was shoved into too small a box which was then put into another box of the same size. This may have to be sent back. NOT acceptable!
