Summary: Ink Cartridge is faulty- never worked
Review: terrible, terrible, terrible. I installed the software and all components perfectly. I still kept getting error messages saying the ink cartridges were not installed correctly- which they were. Stay away from this printer. It's not worth the cheap price.

Summary: Super Printer!
Review: The Canon i250 is marvelous. My old HP died, and I wanted an inexpensive printer now because I expected at a later date to buy a new computer and a higher tech printer. Now I need neither. In other words, the Canon i250 allows me to print wonderfully what I thought only higher tech/higher priced printers would! I've been able to print greeting cards, as well as photos and crisply clear documents. The i250 only takes seconds to warm up, and each print job is done quickly and beautifully. This printer allows one to choose a variety of print qualities and paper types to ensure the best print for each job. Set up was super easy, as is the printer's use. And noise? It's not excessive; I never even give it a second thought. Along with superb performance and inexpensive price, another great thing about the i250 is that I can buy both a black and a color refill cartridge for it for less than I'd pay for one HP cartridge. What a super printer bargain!

Summary: Lousy images
Review: This thing is pathetic, but then, you get what you pay for so I can't complain too much. The print quality is grainier than my previous printer, an HP930C. I thought that since it had been a couple of years, printer quality would have improved and prices would have gone down, but this little can of junk is a perfect example of being "too good to be true". I wouldn't even hang these prints on my refrigerator.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: Very disappointed after reading the raving reviews. The paper feed skews the paper, very noisy and takes twice as long to get started to print than my Lexmark Z52. I used it in a home setting and ran thru both ink tanks in a week - no wonder they are cheaper than ink jets. Has problems feeding envelopes with out jamming. The printer has two buttons on top but only one is describe in the manual. It does make nice photos and was easy to install.

Summary: Superbly Well-Rounded & Affordable. Oh, and Mac-compliant!
Review: Where do I start? This little bugger is AMAZING! I actually bought this for my son, because he got an iMac (being the Apple freak he is), and his printer was ailing. So I told him if he found one under $75 I'd get it. He did. He found the Canon i250.
This little guy is so good! The quality is exceptional (and beautiful w/ Mac OS X font-handling.) and he can use it for everything, even printing photos. Now, I don't recommend it for exclusively photos, but for the occasional one, it's fine. Also, refills won't break the bank with about $7 and $15 respectively. Printing time is short; very efficient and quick. Also, it comes with many features that are considered as 'extras' with the others HE looked at. The only problem is it doesn't come with a USB cable, and that's all it's compatible with. But that's OK... I found a Belkin for about $5. I would recommend this to anyone, especially for document designers and offices for its 'bang for the buck'. Amzing features, reliability, efficiency/speed, and quality wrapped in a (very) tiny (perfect for portability.) package that won't break the bank.
