Canon Pixma MP970 Photo All-In-One Inkjet Printer (2181B002)

We love this printer! Its prints great pictures and photo copies all the time! We use the lap top and the home comp on the same printer wirelessly. my husband set it up himself! We are thrilled!

I usually avoid products that do more than one thing, since they usually don't do any of the things very well. But this is a great printer! It prints great quality photos on quality photo paper, and its scan and copy quality is also very good. Start up time is fast, which was important to me because my old Canon printer took a long, noisy time to start up. Its footprint is just a little bigger than an average printer but not overly so.

I HAD AN I870 FOR 4 YEARS AND IT WAS GREAT, ALTHOUGH A PRINTER ONLY. THIS PRINT / SCAN / COPY IS FANTASTIC. [...] MY SCANS LOOK FANTASTIC; AS GOOD AS ORIGINAL. PHOTOS PRINT AS GOOD AS ANY LAB I EVER USED. IN SUMMARY IF YOU CAN GET A DEAL LIKE I GOT, YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY INDEED; FANTASTIC AMAZON DEAL; [...] OUTSTANDING. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS UNIT.

Canon has a serious problem in that the ink tanks on many of the cartridges shipped with the printer or sold by Canon, after some short usage will generate errors. Cartridge not recognized.

CANON WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE.

They will after much prodding apparently send a replacement cartridge -
which isn't great when you need to get that paper, resume, directions, etc. printed on that "top of the line" printer you just purchased.

Amazing that something so simple can render an otherwise pretty nice printer completely useless with no recourse or workaround.

I've used various brands of upper model inkjet printers and I'd say the Canon MP970 is one of the bests, its really a joy to use. The networking feature works like a breeze, print quality is excellent, paper handling such as automatic duplex printing feature is reliable, scan quality is excellent too!

You can't go wrong with this printer!
