Canon PIXMA iP1500 Photo Printer

Have never used it. Tried to go through set up but it is designed for software that is no longer in common use. Will give it to a community thrift shop. Someone with older equipment may be able to use it.

i’ve had this printer for 17 years-still works great when all the other secondary printers i had died by the wayside-had them all-bigger, more expensive canon,lexmark, epson and brother

I am using this lovely printer for about two months. It has given everything you would expect from a printer despite its affordable price so far. Color printing is almost lab quality. Quite fast, easy to handle and maintain. Rest assured, relatively cheaper cartridges wont be pain in the back unlike other expensive printers. Dont let them cheat you with the change only empty cartridge for each color lie. They always all become empty at the same time. As a result, you wont be sorry with this very cute and highly operable printer at all.

You cant go wrong with these little printers if you need a little a printer that will produce economically. Would be a great printer for a kids computer.

This product worked well enough initally but I was not at all impressed with its true color abilties when used to print anything other then text. After a few months things only got worse when I began to notice severe ink smears or splotches appearing upon all printed documents. Now its like it is possessed and it only works correctly after about 10 tries. Thanks to the crappy quality of this printer I will soon be purchasing a new one and without a doubt it will not be this model!

Very good printer and cheap ink

I used to have a S300.It worked great and its really cost effective. That why I bought this one last week. However, this new one gets paper jamed easily, and sometimes it just fails to feed the paper in but still sends paper jamed message.( I used the the HP 21 pounds papers bought with the printer). I am considering to return it, does anyone has the same experience? How to fix it?

Easy to set up and install. Nice picture and print. Great printer for the price. Only thing lacking is a paper tray.

I got this printer as part of a bundle with a new computer. I was using an Epson at the time and the cost of ink cartridges was driving me up the wall! One day, the Epson died a terrible death and I pulled the Canon Pixma iP500 out of the closet, plugged it in, the computer recognized it immediately and its been printing happily ever since. This is a very decent printer for around $50.00. Ive not printed any photos with it. But for plain paper printing of documents, it works just fine in a home office or for a student. And others here have printed photos and say they look great. So the long and short of it is if you just need a basic printer that will print out fine looking plain paper documents and apparently does a decent job of photos too, consider the Canon Pixma iP1500.

As a professional graphic artist with over 20 years in the industry, I have seen lots of products/suppliers come and go. Like Quark before it Epson decided to abandon its core user base of professional graphic arts customers for the promise of a windfall of profit by catering only to Win-Tel users. They now are a commodity player with an expensive, balky, cumbersome line of equipment. In steps Canon, god love em. Great Cameras, great printers, Mac support for days... Now this printer is my home unit and I could not be more pleased with its performance. Two main features attracted me: 1. The ink it uses is BC-24, available, been around for YEARS, and cheap! (about $17 for color and $8 for the color cart). 2. border-less printing on generic 4x6 glossy snaps from Office Depot (100 pieces for $12) that look great. This printer is fast, quiet, and works flawlessly with iPhoto as well as any of the typical Pro apps a Graphic Designer might use.
