Scott B. Husted For your money, this multi-function printer from Canon is hard to beat! Everything works very well and it is not hard to set up. I had it connected to my Wi-Fi network in minutes. The longest part was simply typing in my security code for the network. Print quality is very good for an ink jet, even on the 'standard' quality. Photo prints are pretty good as well. No, this isn't going to match the high end photo printers on the market - but in a pinch it does a very good job for some quick prints. Duplex mode works fine and the scanner with document feeder is very convenient as well. This printer is a bargain, the caveat being I haven't had it long enough to measure the true ink consumption yet.

H. Breneman Blaine ( Cincinnati, OH ) I love the machine. I have started having Microsoft Office WORD and OUtlook crashing errors since the printer was installed. Do not know why, but that the the last change to the machine.

L. Kenner ( Middle Tennessee ) Canon PIXMA MX870 Wireless Office All-in-One Printer (4206B002)
I set up my new Canon Pixma MX870 last night. Took me 30 minutes to setup the printer and install on both my iMac and MacBook. Both Mac's run Mac OS X 10.4.11. I did have a hard time selecting a brand. I normally buy only HP printers but after my last AIO deskjet 6200 decided to breakdown again and the wireless deskjet 6800 worked only 1/2 the time I wanted to try a Canon or Epson. I will admit, I haven't owned a Canon printer since my old bubblejet from 1994. But it lasted until new OS's would no longer support it. I decided to buy the MX870 instead of the MX860 since I have read on several different sites that the 870 solves plenty of issues plagued by Mac users and has a better print speed. I also read that the MX860 was slow to start. Well, my MX870 was pretty quick starting up and gives a quality print. The wireless is awesome. Much easier to install than my last HP. I haven't tried printing any photos just yet. I am happy to see that there are 5 separate print cartridges. This printer is a great value for the money. I will say that if printing high quality photos and CD/DVDs is important to you, you should go for the Epson Artisan 810 instead. However, if you want a quality AIO without breaking the bank, choose the Canon Pixma MX870.

To be or Not To Be ( Jersey Shore Points ) This is my first "All In One" printer that can scan, fax, copy, and print. I don't use the fax that much, but I do use the other functions often in my home. Anyway, I ordered this printer on Feb 28 and it came in on March 2. I was quite surprise on how big this printer is. Its almost 2 feet wide and just over a foot long. First thing I had to do, remove all the orange tape and wrap on the printer. There's a whole bunch of orange tape and there's more inside the printer. The instructions are pretty much straight forward and very thorough. I had to install this part to hold the ink cartridges. After that, I had to install 5 ink cartridges. To me, taking off the plastic orange safety cap off the ink cartridges was frustrating. You have to carefully twist the cap and don't apply too much pressure on the cartridge. You will know if you have successfully installed the ink cartridge because each cartridge has a built-in red light. When you see the red light, you have installed the ink cartridge correctly. After that, I put paper in it. Then I had to add a network key because I'm using the wireless function. After the printer is all ready to go, I had to install the software. Installing the software took about 20 minutes.
Anyway, I started using some of the functions. I made a copy, sent a fax to myself, scan some pictures, and printed some stuff. So far no problems. The default print settings is set to print on one side of the sheet of paper. If you want to print on both sides, you have to go to print properties and select "duplex printing" What happens is that it will print on side of the paper and then paper will rewind back into the printer to print on the other side.
Scan images are not that great, even if I set at highest resolution of 600 dpi. The images look a bit blurry.
The best part of all this is that I can access the printer wirelessly from multiple computers! You don't need a USB cable connected to one machine if you have a wireless router.
