Canon i860 Photo Printer

Summary: This printer rocks!
Review: Before I bought this printer I had a couple of HP printers through the years. Oh, the humanity! Don't get me wrong, Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Packard are probably upright citizens, but their printers are a curse from Lucifer and I'd sooner carve my documents into marble slabs with a toy hammer and chisel than buy another one of their printers. But enough about that. I bought the Canon i860 printer around Christmas 2003 and have been nothing but THRILLED with it. It prints speedily (once it gets all juiced up, which does take a couple of moments), prints incredible photographs, and I still haven't had to change any ink cartridges (almost 10 months later!). This is saying quite a lot since I've gone on several photograph printing sprees over the months. On top of all that, the printer looks cool. I will say that it seems a bit large for what it does, but It's nothing you'd have to build an addition onto the house for. How often you have to change ink cartridges is relative to how much you'll be printing, but I can say that these have lasted way longer than those garbage HP cartridges ever did. I'll update this review if anything stinky crops up with the i860, but all's great with it so far. Purchase this bad boy!

Summary: no USB cable
Review: I just received my new i860, unpacked it to set it up and what to my surprise - no USB cable! So here I am with absolutely no way of using the thing.
I find it hard to believe that Canon would ship a printer that one cannot connect to their PC without going back to the store and buying a cable. I've heard of cheap products before but this takes the cake.

So I can't really rate this item because I can't connect it!
