Summary: Low price and works great
Review: Be advised that Low end printers from Canon can't be repaired, they need to be swapped for new ones (if they are still under warranty). Originally bought the S300. Had tons of problems with that model. After 3 swaps due to malfunctions in printers, Canon finally upgraded me, at no additional cost, to an S330. Happy to say that I now have no complaints to report and that this model works well for me. It is quiet and doesn't break down regardless of the thickness of the paper or if I print pictures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Printer for the price
Review: Bought this printer on here used for $18 plus shipping and it works beautifully. I had previously owned a Canon BJC 250 so I have been partial to Canon products for awhile.

The cartridges were really cheap when ordered online which is crucial to me because I use this printer to print covers for cd's and the print quality is excellent.

The only negative (If you can even call it that) is that it does seem to go thru the ink alittle faster than my old Canon. But since the cartridges are so affordable, they can be ordered in bulk so that shouldn't be a problem.

Overall: Great printer at an excellent value.

Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!!!!!!

Little over a year passed with reasonable use and the printhead wore out. This is a pathetic printer and I am extremely angrey with Canon about their pricing of printheads. It is a scandal and a rip off!!

Make sure you do a little research before buying a printer in this price range as I am told that many companies use the same trick.


I gave this printer a 1 star because I could not give it none!!!

Summary: Fast Service! Good, basic, economical printer!
Review: I am a die hard Canon printer fan! I have had two Canon printers (BJC 4100 and BJC 4400) and this is the best one so far.

The title says it all, good, basic, economical printer.

The reply to my order was fast, the shipping was fast. The printer arrived complete and in perfect working order. I am enjoying it very much and would recomend this printer to anyone who needs just a "Good All Around Printer" at a very reasonable price + shipping.

Summary: Good Quality, Fair Value
Review: I am happy with my purchase of this Canon S330 printer, but have found better value printer and printer/scanner/FAX combos available for a much lower price locally. The Canon S330 is reliable, moderately fast and quiet, but it seems to go through ink cartridges pretty quickly (although the cartridges are cheaper than most, especially on Amazon, and easy to replace). Unlike several printers I have had before, when you change the ink cartridge, the printer is good to go, without time consuming print head alignment. This is a good quality printer at a reasonable price and has held up to some consistantly heavy print jobs without fail. I am happy with my purchase, but will definitely opt for the newer, lower priced printer/scan/Fax type accessory the next time I am in the market.

Summary: Slurps ink
Review: I bought this item nearly two years ago, in part because of a good CONSUMER REPORTS rating of its predecessor, the S 300. It has used up ink tanks so fast, that CR's figures cannot possibly have been right. With after-market ink tanks, and refilling the black ink tanks, I keep that cost down; however, I often have to replenish ink in the middle of jobs that are not all that large. I can see by the condition of the print head that it will fail before long. While print head replacement is a one minute, user doable job, the cost would be prohibitive. I hope I do not have too many new ink tanks on hand when that happens.

This printer does do very fine work, I must say. Still, I plan to try one of the competitors next time.

Review: I bought two of these printers at the same time. They have both lasted less than year.
Pros: The ink is cheap to purchase for this computer. It prints great pictures. Its pretty fast.
Cons: In about the time of a year, both printers (around the same time) just stopped printing black ink. There is no printer cleaning or deep cleaning that will help the problem. There is no way to fix the problem, unless you buy a print head perhaps, which will cost the same amount as a new printer. I have done my research, and apparantley, this problem has happened to other canon s330 printer users as well. That makes this printer model not worth buying in my opinion. I always do prefer canon to other products however.

Summary: Slow, noisy, ink hog
Review: I have had mine for almost 2 years, and it has stopped printing black ink. Obviously time for a replacement, grrr. I never was completely happy with the unit. It constantly goes into a lengthy cleaning cycle before it prints. Very annoying when you want to quickly print off directions when you are late for an appointment. Extremely loud, and an ink hog (though you can buy cheap non brand name replacement cartridges). Print quality when working is near photo quality, and the unit is compact, but I REALLY expected more than 2 years of occasional use. And now I have 10 spare ink cartidges for a printer I need to replace.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: two thumbs up
Review: I just got this printer a few days ago and printed some photos and assignments on it. The photos were colorful and vivid. The quality was great, and it only took a minute to print. However, the blue was a little darker than it was suppose to be. Other than that, you can't even tell that the pictures came from a bubble jet printer. The printer has good speed on black and white pages. One drawback is that the printer is constantly cleaning the print head. It gets annoying after a while. The ink for this printer is relatively inexpensive compared with other printer catridges.
Overall, this printer is a great deal. It's definitely worth its price.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor quality printer
Review: I purchased my Canon S330 printer in late January of 2003. I used it to print the occasional shipping lable or report, no photos. The print head has failed three times in the past six months. First it stopped printing black right in the middle of a job(it suddenly started printing black again after about 3 weeks.) Then it stopped printing magenta, again, right in the middle of a job. As of January 2004 it stopped printing both black and magenta. After getting a run-around from customer service(telling me the standard "do a cleaning, etc.")I was told I need a new print head, which will cost about $60 plus $40 "labor" to install at a "certified Canon repair center". Of course there isn't one near me and my printer would have to be shipped to one at my cost. It's cheaper for me to just buy a new printer. The only good things I can say about this printer is that it was fast and the ink is cheap.
