Summary: Good but no linux support
Review: I've owned this for over a year and it's been my main printer/copier for a small business. I usually use it in draft mode as it is very fast (maybe 10ppm?) and the quality is good enough most of the time. Regular mode is too slow for my patience, maybe 2-3 ppm.

I've been very pleased. The cartridges are really cheap and it has been completely reliable. It doesn't take up much desk room and it is overall just a "neat" shape. There is a very nice feature where it allows you to see exactly what is going to the printer before sending it (a more "true" preview than what the text processing tools provide.) I always have this on so I don't print extra blank pages at the end, etc. Another neat thing is doing 2-up or 4-up printouts if I want to condense a boring document with large text size.

I'm thinking of buying a second for home. My only hesitation is that it won't run under RedHat Linux. My Linux box won't even boot if it sees the Canon on the USB port.

Summary: Poor feeding; lots of ink
Review: It prints fast once the paper feeds, but it rarely feeds correctly the first time. End result is that it doesn't start printing until 10 seconds after I get started. It also flys through the ink. Black cart is good for only 100 pages or so.

I was utterly disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Buy it now, you would not regret.
Review: This printer is just flying on WinXP 512Ram. Scanning is almost professional. Printing and coping is fast and simple.
On the minus side, it uses a lot of ink. All taken into account there is no saving in ink comparing to HP or Epson printer's ink usage.
With all ot Multipass F20 minuses and pluses, I believe, it is the best multi-functioning devise in its price range. I also hate myself for overpaying 60 bucks, by not waiting couple of month until price finally came down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cannon Multipass F20 Printer
Review: Very clear instructions for set-up and use. Machine performs flawlessly. For home use, an excellent value for its cost.
The styling is modern, but yet conservative. I highly recommend this unit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: smooth
Review: Windows XP platform - small footprint - easy setup with no glitches - all operations perform smoothly with quality output. Cannot attest to quality photo production, but for my uses this is an excellent piece of equipment at a smart price.
