What a rip off. Canon's business ethics when it comes to ink on this machine are astonishing. Don't buy it.
"Ink Problem"

Printing, scanning is great. Copying is slow - for the unit is not really meant for it - for emergency copying only). But the main problem is the ink. The colored inks goes low even you print only in black. If one cartridge goes out of ink, the machine is useless. It is "a must" to replace it. Using all black cartridges does not do the trick. It will give a message something like "not compatible color cartridge". I remember that I had a canon before (12 years ago) and I had the same problem - the ink. That's the catch on why it's cheap. Canon should work on this area. Ink problem.

I bought this same all n one printer Canon MP830 a few years ago and I like it so much when it broke down I found it was cheaper to replace it with this refurbished Canon MP830. It works just like new. I am glad I bought this one again...If you need to fax, print, copy, and scan this one is a very good buy. It does color photo prints the best I have seen. When you copy something you can't tell which one is the original..
"MP830 All in One"

Excellent scans. Fast FAXING. Photographs are outstanding. Ink expensive so don't shut off the unit unless you are not going to use it in a day or two. Goes through clean cycle upon each power startup. Unit will go to sleep without problems. ADF works perfect. You can print photos directly from the camera or card reader. This is my second unit as I had an accident with my first one when cleaning and it fell. Would cost more to repair than replace. None of the new units that I have found come close to features that this unit has. Newer units have a much smaller ink cartridges, It only lacks wireless networking. Love it!!

This is a few years old but it's still on my desk. It just works. Scan/fax/copy, never had a problem with it. Good business machine.
I would much rather write a better review for this printer, but I simply can't.
My husband who is "Mr. Consumer Reports," usually knows all about what he's wanting to buy. Since he was so kind as to buy me a new imac for Christmas, I decided I would allow him the freedom to choose our new family printer. Our old printer which I bought back in 2000 or 2001, lasted me through at least seven years of printing out hundreds of Christmas newsletters, scores of graphics for projects and photos of the children needed for school posters, birthday invitations, etc. We literally used our old printer, an HP Deskjet to death. I think it was a 970.
**This is the last time I will send my husband to buy a printer without my being there.**
Regarding this printer - the Canon Pixma MP830, I nearly cry every time I print out anything in color. The color comes out much too light. There is simply no comparison to our old HP.
I've also found that the ink is gone in about a quarter of the time it used to run out on the HP.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this Canon. Maybe giving it a 3 is a little too generous.
