| The printer works well and prints pretty good photographs. It is easy to operate and makes good copies. I only used the fax once, but it worked! |

I've had this Canon MX700 running since 08/07/2008 until suddenly, it met with a problem. As for printer tanks (cartridges) the replacements since 8/7/08 are as follows: Black replaced on 4/5/09 and on 9/11/09, Magenta replaced on 8/21/09, Cyan replaced on 8/31/09, Yellow low since 7/2/09 but still working as of 10/23/09. I use black more than anything else since I do try to use grayscale in printer prefs as much as possible. Quality paper works better with this and the only photo that I tried to copy still came out acceptable but not photo quality on basic paper (for testing). I mainly bought this because I use ethernet and that works well. As for the fax, I had to use one of my own phone cords due to length, no biggie. Faxing is fairly simple if following the instructions in the manual. Not the greatest fax though so I wouldn't want it at work, a little too complicated (wouldn't it be nice if faxes were universal to some extent?).
As for the end of this printer, we experienced a power glitch followed by a power outage last night. Now after several attempts to bring the screen from nothing to powered, we only see the error message: B200. I went to the Canon website, technical for my printer and typed in : error B200 and was told to power down, let rest for ten minutes then power up again, same result. Also checked the power going though the power cord and power adapter, cord is fine, adapter, not so fine. I'm still waiting to hear back from Canon, but I would expect that will have to be serviced (out of warranty) and since I only paid $119.99, that may not be worth it. |

This was an impulse purchase when I was at Fry's about 15 months ago and it was on sale (new) for about $100!
It has excellent print quality and scans docs well. I don't use the fax function, as we gave up landline phone. I scan about 20 pages a week. Print only 20-30 pages/week. Copy about 20/week. What little color copying I do, comes out perfectly.
As others have mentioned, it seems to use lots of ink - but not having much experience w. ink jets, I can't comment. I still use my 14 y.o. HP4L for most doc printing. Much cheaper, even though slightly slower. As I recall, it cost nearly $400! Faxes were more! Copiers were out of sight. That's why I am surprized you can now buy a nearly flawless machine that does all of this for $100 - and in color, if you want.
I just bought a parallel to USB converter cable ($8) that lets me use the old HP4L by connecting it to a USB port on our computers. That means I won't use the Canon for much printing - just scanning and copying.
If you can still find a new one of these - you can't go wrong. If you are comfortable buying non-OEM ink carts or can refill your own, so much the better. I only have used the OEM carts. Replaced the black twice so far. Still on orig. color. |

I previously owned a Canon all in one. I replaced it because one of the colors (cayan) stopped working. This happened after I started getting cartridges at one of the refill stores. Of course I have no way of knowing if that was the issue, but I suspect it was.
So far the new printer has worked flawlessly. It has done a good job of DVD labels and photos. It is slower than my previous Canon, but the price was right and I feel that it is a little more conserving on the ink.
I intend to only use Canon ink which I get from Cosco for only a little bit more then the refills. |

Ok, this is the third printer I've gone through in about a year. My beloved HP 2510 all in one died after 3 years of faithful service. I bought a Lexmark to replace it, which turned out to be total crap. That's another story.
Anyway, I own a small business and use my printer alot. I also use this printer to print labels for UPS, USPS, etc., and I've never had it jam with a label once.
This printer is wonderful. I was almost afraid to buy it due to the low price, but so far, it's one of the best printers I've purchased.

Software works easily well with OSX and windows, and it's a snap to scan documents/convert to pdf files. There are two paper feeds that allows one to designate one for envelopes. The quality of the prints is acceptable as far as an ink jet goes, but is not up to laser print quality. But this is a great value with superb versatility. |
