Summary: Great little printer!
Review: I've used HP Deskjet printers for years and just recently decided to upgrade. My son needs a color printer so he got the HP-693c and I bought a Canon BJC-3000. My biggest complaint about the HP's was the single color cartridge - run out of one color and you have to throw the entire cartridge away. Not so with the BJC-3000. I've had good results with the graphics and printed some photo-quality images using Kodak InkJet photo paper. You have to do some adjustments of the settings to get things right, but the results are very good once that is done. The major complaint I have is the noise coming out of this thing! It isn't bad while printing, but during initialization and after printer a few sheets, it goes into a mode where it sounds like it is coming apart. All ink jet printers do this, but this one is especially noisy.

Summary: It prints... but it could be better
Review: The main drawback of this printer is Canon's design for getting ink to the print head. Because the ink has to seep through a sponge to get to the print head, the amount of ink flow is limited. For instance, if you were to print something that had, say, heavy black in one area, it would print okay for the first few lines, but much more than that and it'll start leaving blank streaks across your paper where there wasn't enough ink to feed the print head... effectively ruining your print. Also, it seems that the print heads get dirty quickly, as I have to run the print head cleaning program about once every two weeks.

Summary: up to $150.00 its tough to beat
Review: This printer is awesome. ive been looking into canons "Drop Modulation" technology vs HP's PhotoRet III and Canons 'DM' has a much better take on things. They can do with 720x360 what it takes HP 1200+ dpi to do. The unit is fast at up to 9 pages per minute and can handle business black text documents with perfection. The 4 cartridge system is a no brainer (saves me tons of money) and the print quality really is revolutionary at this price. (or any price really) I'd buy one before you spent lots of money on HP's PhotoRet II which now i see is really over rated...

Review: This printer will cost you more in ink cartridges than it is worth. The cartridge ($50.00) that holds the ink tanks go out every few tanks of ink. Canon claims these will last for 20 tanks. Not true. I have bought 2 cartridges that have only lasted for 3 tanks each. The tech support is worthless.
