Canon MP480 All-in-One Photo Printer

I had an HP all-in-one for a few years (2nd one). Always had issues with printing, responding from computer, quality, etc. Decided to give the Canon a try.Best money Ive ever spent on a printer. Easy to use, quick setup, print quality is great. Very user friendly. Great if you have school age kids.

I am a college student and I have this printer in my room and I love it. I get a lot of printing for the ink and the ink is not killer expensive either. Its just overall a good buy. Plus it has a scanner/copier in it and both work very well also!

absolute piece of sh*t. paper constantly jammed, shredded or pulled in sideways. now it wont print at all. error message says paper is jammed but there is no paper or any other foreign matter inside it. complete waste of money.

I bought this printer/copier/scanner a little over a year ago. Right away we had big problems with color. Our old printer had no problem turning what you saw on the screen into what was printed. This one cannot do that. No matter how we adjusted our print settings it would not give us correct coloration. Some colors looked nothing like their original. The next problem was the scanner. After about 6 months, it stopped working. Again we tried fixing the problem to no avail. It does an okay job of coping black and white. Thats it. This is the first Canon printer we have owned and it will be the last. Oh yeah, the front panel also fell off, too.

First off, this printer has met all my needs. I am a poor college student who needs an all in one printer but cant afford those crazy $300-400 dollar printers. This MP-480 fulfills all of my expectations and is great! Here were my printer criteria. 1) scanner to scan pictures and trading cards to sell on ebay, 2) color printer and copier because the library doesnt have color printers (I need color copies for projects and papers that involve pictures) and copier to make those emergency copies when I dont have time to go to the library, 3) something not too big. The MP480 fills all those needs. First it looks very stylish and folds up very nicely to prevent dust from getting into anywhere. And, it makes great photocopies, good enough scans of pictures and trading cards, and prints like a charm. Basically if you run a home office, this printer isnt for you because its kind of slow when making copies and runs out of ink quickly. Pros; Very easy to install cartridge (unlike my former HP deskjet .. hated installing cartridge.. believe it or not would take an hour sometimes), compact and nice design (basically is like a box when all folded up to make easy to carry and store), all in one printer, lcd screen is very simple to operate and not complicated, paper adjusting mechanism installed on paper tray that makes it so easy to print photos, $50 rebate when order from B+H, The only cons: doesnt come with printer cable, scanner quality is about average, is loud when printing, not wireless, and toner goes out quickly. For the toner issue when you buy the replacement cartridge in XL I heard that the ink lasts so much longer. You should opt for that if you end up purchasing this printer. Hey, but in the end this printer I would highly recommend to any college student! All those cons was after about a 1/2 month of usage is because I am very picky. But really, I have no right to complain because I payed $80 for all these things. One printer, copier, or color copier alone cost that much money. And with the proposed $50 rebate that BH promised me, I basically will pay $30 for this printer!!! after the rebate comes from BH. I have yet to receive the $50 rebate, but B+H has a very good record and I trust that they will deliver on their promise

I got this printer Pixma MP480 two weeks back and it rocks. It prints awesome photoes. The print quality of color and B & W documents is awesome. I scanned my tax documents I got from Financial Institutions and converted them into pdf documents and the pdf documents came gr8888. I dont know why many people didnt know about this printer. I paid $69.99 @ Amazon.com. I printed the photoes on both glossy paper and Canon Matty paper and its amazing. I wouldnt print the pictures I hang in the frames using this printer. But, the print quality is scrap book quality. The Easy-PhotoPrinter EX is awesome. It is a wizard like software which walks through the screens. Im totally satisfied... The catridges also cost very less compared to other catridges.

The Canon PIXMA MP 480 printer/scanner is all that I expected and more. It copies beautifully. And for such a good price. I like it. Bob

This is an attractive printer that gives great results,but it is a little slow starting up. If youre looking for fast this probably isnt for you but if you want great results at a very reasonable price this is a winner.

I havent had this printer long, but so far it has worked well. Its easy to set up and I havent had any problems with it so far.

This is a compact all-in-one printer (about the length and width of a laptop). The software and flip up screen are very easy to use and the color quality of the copier is excellent. It also has a quiet mode for printing after dark. It uses a large deal of ink, but so do all of the Canon inkjet printers. Overall, a good value, but they forgot one thing. There is no auto power-on/off setting, so you either have to leave the printer on all the time or turn it on every time you wish to use it.
