Cons: None!
Pros: Just plain easy to use! Reliable! Comment:
What a great snag. I got mine for a steal at 39$ and after having and using it for 5 months now I would have paid double. It's truly an impressive printer and it makes printing easy! The software that comes with it is fantastic. NCIX Blew me away with their shipping on this one and had it shipped within 2 hours of me purchasing it. 5 Stars for the printer and 5 Stars for NCIX service on this one! |

Average printing speed
Pros: High precision scannerGood printing quality (for photo or document) Comment:
This printer is amazing for any home use. The design looks great, the printing is good and the build-in scanner makes high resolution copy.I compared the printing from the Canon MP490 with other documents printed by a few other printers. None of them got close to the quality of a Pixma. |

Not as compact as I'd hoped.
Pros: PriceInk CostsGenerally Good Comment:
I bought this printer for university, and was looking for something relatively small that I could fit into my room without it being too much of a needlessly large item that I use occasionally. The printer is great, it's fast, ink is cheap, LCD is nice. |

A little noise with the rotations after you print something.
Pros: Prints fast, high quality, lcd flip, b+w/colour cartridges included, thinner than most all-in-ones that I've seen. Comment:
Got it on sale and it's pretty sweet for an all-in-one. No real complaints. It's thinner than most all-in-ones that I've seen and pretty compact. |

Cons:
Does not come with a USB cable to connect to pc
Pros: * Small footprint* Multi-capable* LCD reader* Sleek design* Card Reader Built in* Fairly quiet* One button scan and print without PC needing to be powered on Comment:
I was in the market for an all in one to reduce the footprint of having both a flatbed scanner and printer. This all in one certainly fulfilled my needs. It is a sleek design and takes up a lot less space then 2 separate units and is very compact.One of the outstanding features that I like is the one button scan and print option. This can be used without ever needing the PC powered on. Simply place your media to be copied on the flatbed and push ONE button to have it speedily scanned and printed. The Handy LCD screen is easily readable and very handy to have especially when using the built in card reader to slot media for printing. The setup of this unit was amazingly fast and flawless and I have it installed on a PC running Windows 7 x64 with no issues whatsoever. In fact, I have never had a printer/scanner install without needing head alignment etc but this one didn't need any of that and first copy/scan made was flawlessly and SO DARN EASY to use!The print and scanning quality is fantastic especially for the $49.99 I paid for it. It is fairly quiet and does not have the excessive head charging noise my Epson it replaced had or the loudness of my 4 year old flatbed scanner.Ink refills for this are also relatively lower price then many I have seen. A black cartridge will run around $18 and a color $22 at a couple of big box stores around where I live in Southern Ontario.The one thing that surprised me was that no USB was included for hookup to PC. Of course I have many USB 2.0 cables laying around so that was no hardship but beware that if you do not also have extras you may need to purchase one if you are intending to connect it to a PC. All in all I am VERY pleased with my purchase and feel this was a STEAL at the $49.99 price point. You can't even get a good meal for two people for that price and I got myself one heck of a scanner/printer. Recommended Highly! |

Pros: -fast-quiet-sexy design-lcd screen Comment:
I got this printer when it was on sale for $50 and it's worth every dirt cheap penny. You definitely get what you pay for.My 10 year old Canon printer was finally died on me and it was time for a new one so I stuck with the Canon brand. First impressions was that this printer was sexy and it has a nice lcd screen which is pretty useful. The printer prints really quiet and very fast compared my old, slow, and noise maker of a printer. Scan quality is really top notch as well. I scanned a magazine cover and it looked great.Overall, you'll get what you pay for. It's cheap. It's a multi-purpose printer that prints, scans, and copies and the quality is good enough for an average user. |

I bought this great cheap printer in special sale. It was 49.99 I really don't regret it since it the new model replacing the old cheap one. Its a very good printer when you're on budget, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an all in one print center. + you got an lcd screen so you can see what picture you want to print directly on the printer. |

Pros: Looks sleek, lots of features, good specs Comment:
For $135 your getting what you pay for, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Sure $135 might seem like a lot for a printer but your getting high quailty pictures great brand and a lot of features. |
best bang for the buck item. This printer is very cheap for what it can do. I scan documents often and haven't had any problems with it. Very easy to use (just plug it to computer and let windows7 take care of the installation for you). Again, it's cheap and the printer itself is cheaper than toners you gotta get for other printers..
