Summary: I love Canon.
Review: I love this printer! The print speed is more than adequate and the ink tanks are so cheap! (you can find BCI-24 black for ~7 dollars). Installation is simple, and Canon's setup guide walks you through all the steps. The printer doesn't make a lot of noise (my old Epson was LOUD). The remote shut-off feature is novel, and there is even a quiet mode. The main selling point of this printer is the cheap ink, and its low price makes the deal even sweeter.

Summary: Solid printer. Unbelievable value.
Review: I've been playing with this printer the last couple of days, and I must say that I am very satisfied with it. INK: Like others said, the printer is cheap and the ink is very cheap. Black cartridges are only about 1/4 the cost of Epson and 1/5 the cost of HP and Lexmark. Cost of ink to paper output, I think Canon ties the Epson for best. This is backed up by reviews from PC Magazine. However, I give the edge to Canon, because it's "draft" mode is better than the Epson 880 I had. With the Epson, I could barely read anything in economy mode. I've printed 6 legal size color photos and about 30 black pages, and the ink levels have not dropped a bit. Plus, when you do get a low level warning, you can still print to the last drop! PRINTOUTS: I'm satisfied with the output for photos and text, and I'm sure it will satisfy most of you. I like how bright and dynamic the colors are. Reds come out red with the Canon, not Burgundy like the Epson 880. SPEED: This is where the i350 suffers. When not in draft mode, it is significantly slower than the Epson. About 1/3 the speed with graphics and photos. Text printing speed is OK. LOOKS: Very nice looking and lightweight. I keep it on top of my computer. Yes, it fits on top of the minitower with no problem. Only downside is it's a top paper feeder. NOISE: Frankly, I think the printer is quiet when it is printing! It is much quieter than the Epson 880. Actually, I think only laser printers are quieter. However, it is loud on powerup and for the 2 seconds it takes to warm up, but during printing: not bad at all. OTHER: Driver is easy to use...almost too simple. I would like to choose my own dpi settings, but it only lets me choose from a scale for the quality. Also, you have to manually align the output, but it's not too hard. It prints out a paper with different colors and a bunch of numbers, and you choose the number with the best printout. Reminds me of the optometrist when they ask you which lens is clearer. WORTH IT?: Yes! I needed to replace my 880, which was getting old and had collected too much dust in its rollers. The 880's quality was top of the line when it came out, but now we have these "photo printers" that beat it. I just wanted something cheap, cool looking, with high quality printouts. The Canon i350 gives that. I did not give it 5 stars, because it is not fast and paper has to go through the top.

Summary: a step backwards
Review: I've had canon bubble jets for years, starting all the way back with the BJC 200. The brand name, the reviews, and especially the vertical sheet feed is what does it for me over the HPs, works great when printing partial sheets of checks. However, the Canon's don't tend to last that long - I think this is my 4th one in the last 10 years. When my last one stopped working (a 2110), I got the i350.
The good news is, the setup is a complete breeze, and it seems faster than the 2110. However, this is outweighed by the bad news.
First, it no longer uses a printer cable, it's only USB. This is nice for forwards compatibility and all, but those things are $$$.
Second, and more importantly, the thing is LOUD. It has a "Quiet mode" which makes it marginally quieter when printing, but it does a pre-print "warmup" and post-print "cooldown" which are both annoyingly loud, they make me jump.
So, in sum, if the noise doesn't bother you, go for it, otherwise I'd recommend you look elsewhere.

Summary: Good printer but small ink capacity
Review: In our household we have both an i350 and an i250. On both we like the print quality and ease of use. The i250 does sometimes need to be set on high quality printing to get a good looking Word document out of it. Never had that problem with the i350.
Only complaint; these less expensive ink cartridges are smaller than I am used to and seem to require replacement more frequently. The price when I first puchased this was around $7 for a black cartridge. It has increased by over a dollar so I have begun to purchase Staple's private label brand cartridges.
One other word of advice; this printer uses Canon's BCI-24 cartridge, which is a little more difficult to find in local stores than their more common BCI-21 cartridge. It's frustrating to see a great buy on cartridges at BJ's Wholesale Club, only to realize that the only Canon they stock is the 21.

Summary: canon can!!
Review: My first printer was an epsom, which when i bought it in 1998 i was very impressed. when it went to the great printshop in the sky i was looking for something cheap and cheerful to replace it as my expereince showed that all printers were expensive... not the case.
after reading a few favourable reviews i opted for the canon 350 which cost me £69 (+ £8 for a usb lead) it took me a matter of minutes to install and the results were not just great but wow. to buy a colour and black ink will cost me about £18 as opposed to the £40 or so for the epsom. only down side is that it's a little noisey compared to the epsom. to summarise
* very cheap printer
*Excellent qaulity for any price but for £69 its as steal!
* looks good
* cheap ink
*cheap printer
* well known name
* a little noisey ( prepared to put up with it!)
*did i mention that it is cheap!

Summary: Great Value Printer
Review: This is my second canon, my first was an i320. I only changed because I gave the i320 to my parents and I bought the i350 because it prints faster.
The set up was a breeze. I print a lot of articles from online webpages and the quality is great. I do not use it for pictures though so I cannot talk about that aspect.
What is great is that the ink lasts a while and you can get cheap refills when you need it, I usually get a generic at a local office supplies store or online whichever has the best deal going.
And finally buying it at an auction makes it an even sweeter deal since you only pay a fraction of the retail price and most come new. You do need to buy a seperate USB printer cable. You can also get it at an online auction for cheap.
Yes it is a bit noisy, it has a "pre and post printing noise", but that does not bother me since it does a good Job and saves me money.

Summary: Lousy interface with MacOS X.
Review: This is the crankiest printer I've worked with in a long time. Often I can't get it to print at all and I have to switch software just to get something printed out. Other times it balks, or prints hideously slowly, or just decides it's not going to print until I restart my computer. Ugh. I hate it.

Summary: I would buy this again
Review: This printer took less than 10 minutes to set-up, and that included removing it from the box, plugging in all the cords, and installing the software. It's a bit noisy and spits out the paper too aggressively, but overall, the quality is excellent and the replacement ink tanks are cheap and available everywhere.

Summary: Fantastic Printer at Great price
Review: We have been SO happy with this printer after our Lexmark Z42 just got to be too expensive. A new Canon printer and cartridges was less than replacing the color and b/w tanks in the lexmark. Also, the heads only are replaced when needed, reducing cost and waste. that makes the heads around $35 (when needed) and the ink tanks around $5. Buy one now!

Summary: Cheap refills...til you need a print head.
Review: We liked this printer for it's good quality printing, and cheap ink tanks, but on the second color cartridge the magenta nozzles clogged, and I've pretty much burned all the ink in the brand new cartidges trying to get it to work. Now I wish the cartridge came with a new print head like my old worn out lexmark...
Going through Canon's interactve "troubleshooting", it seems like they don't believe the print head can fail. I've done a lot of searching tonight, and I can't seem to find replacement print heads sold anywhere...
I can't recommend this printer.
