Rating: Summary: Amazing Printer !!! Review: I purchased this printer based on Cnet.com's review of it. It's their number one printer by the way. Everything they said was true about this printer and more. This printer is the quietest printer ever, along with fast print speeds, and exceptional quality. I've never been so satisfied with a product like I am with the Canon S600. And to top it off, this printer has the best ink system and lowest ink cost in the market today. I absolutely recommend this printer to anyone and everyone for home and business.
Rating: Summary: Do Not Buy Anything Else Review: I have owned Epsons, HPs, Xerox's and Canons. This is the best one of all. First i got the HP1100 photosmart back in January 2000. It was pretty much top of the line then. I didnt think much would top it for speed and photo quality. But once i started to see some photo printers out on the market, i realized the HP 1100 was NOT really for total photo quality, it was more of a speedy really nice color printer. so i bought a Canon 8200 due to the reviews i had seen in Popular Photography magazine. I Still have it. They said it was #1 so i took their word for it. They were right. It beats everything in photos. Hands down. I heard a lot about the Epson 870 for photos so i bought that just to see if it was better than my 8200 for a couple weeks. it printed really nice pictures, very close to my 8200 from canon but its slow performance and high ink costs forced me to take it back early. Hearing about the new S600 from Canon with higher resolution than their 8200 i figured i'd try that one too. IT ROCKS. ITS MUCH MUCH faster than my 12 page a minute HP 1100 and the photos are just out right astonishing. (gave the HP 1100 away) Any picture i can take, it can print. If i need a 20 page report when i'm running out the door, i get it quickly between using the bathroom and finding my car keys. the manual says the black cartrdige goes 695 pages. You know me, i have to try it. YES, i wasted a whole ink cartridge and tons of paper just to see. OK, so i'm a nerd. Anyways, i printed 768 pages before the well ran dry. At [the price] for that many pages, i'm not tyring to buy no other printer. I LOVE cheap ink cartridges! you buy the printer once but you pay for ink for the next 4 years. SPEED and beautiful photos wrapped up in one; It wasnt possible unitl now. I found it in the Canon S600 and i hope you do too.
Rating: Summary: Excellent print quality, very easy to change the cartridge Review: My beloved computer printer recently died, so I've been visiting friends and trying out their printers. I've been told by some that they had problems changing the cartridge of their Canon printers. But this one was easily changed. The print quality was excellent, very clear, with none of the smudged quality sometimes seen on printed pages. I want one!
Rating: Summary: Best Ever Review: I bought this "refurbished" printer at a bargain price a year ago and could not be any happier with it. You don't have to replace the ink cartridge with one $$ investment. Instead you buy $$-$$ individual cartridges only for the color run out. Its great. I love the quality of the colors. Its my favorite printer ever.
Rating: Summary: Great graphics and text Review: I have been using this printer since 11/01 and have nothing but praise for it. With the exception of the kiniptions it goes through when it is first turned on this printer has both speed and print quality. I am using mine on a HP laptop via parallel port and sharing it on a home network. Ink lasts a long time and is inexpensive to replace. Never had a paper jam or mis printed page with over 2500 sheet pulled through. Have also printed many photos on photo paper with great results (thats when the ink really gets used). Overall a quality printer at a great price.
Rating: Summary: No print sharing in windows. Review: It's funny, I'd always understood printer sharing to be a nowmal window feature. As long as both computers have the proper driver for a printer, one can share a printer to the other. This is not the case for this printer.After spending a couple of weeks getting it working, I sent a note to Canon's tech support. Their response? "Unfortunately, this printer was not designed to be shared across a network." We have three different computers around the house, used by three different people. This printer isn't exactly portable, so just hauling it around to whatever computer needs it is just unreasonable. I am very disapointed that this very basic functionality has been omitted.
