Honestly, I have never even been able to run the ink out of the original cartridges. Wouldn't take the first ten commands.Then the paper feed. It never worked that long. I rarely get so explicit with titles, but this worthless thing really makes me mad.It worked for about two months, then started dying. The scanner went first-and it was never good to begin with.
There wasn't a function to let you change the cartridges, so the slots which held the cartridges moved back and forth. I will never purchase a Canon printer again. I purchased this printer because I wanted something multifunctional (print, scan, copy) and inexpensive. The print quality was poor. Oh and the ink cartridges are pretty expensive for such a poor quality machine. I think the scanner was the worst part, because only on occasion did it actually work. It froze often, had many paper jams and changing the ink cartridges was a real hassle.
So that's exactly what I did. I went to Best Buy to see if they could fix it and the salesperson suggested I just throw the printer away because it wasn't worth fixing it.
The copy quality was poor. And with my luck, the very fragile cord/wire that enabled the slots to move back and forth broke.
Well, I certainly got what I paid for. I had to stick my hand inside the printer to stop the slots from moving, getting ink all over my hands.
You're better off spending a bit poor money for a good quality printer. The scan quality was poor.
I would have to repeatedly hit the scan button, unplug and re-plug it and NOTHING.
The Canon Pixma MP470 Photo All-In-One Inkjet Printer (2177B002) is perfect for small or big jobs.I would highly recommend for personal and small business use. This is an exceptional value for the money. It performs better than expected with easy to follow instructions on setup.
With this you can enable/disable combinations of which cartridge you want to use.I've also printed a couple pictures and they turn out beautifully.I've been through many inkjet printers and this has been the best one yet. With other printers I've had, if either color or black cartridge ran out I would not be able to print. I also like the printer properties/settings.
My fiance bought it for me as my birthday present in July. For a while I had very frustrating moments with it not knowing what was going on. I've had this printer for almost a year now.
This printer and all the functions are VERY simple to use as long as you think simply. I'm thinking about buying one for my mom and sister who frequently need a copier. At first the functions can be a bit tricky to use.
To scan or copy you have to push the black AND color buttons together to start a scan or copy.
The reason for the three stars is that the refill ink costs around 45 bucks. Never jammed, the cartridges that came with the printer lasted all these months for a light home use. I would have rated this five stars if the refills original/generic were available for 15-20 bucks. Used this for more than six months. Works great.
