Summary: Phenomenal photo / regular color printer from Canon!
Review: The Canon i900D is a remarkable color photo printer. Since receiving it, I have had no issues with the setup, instructions, print head or ink cartridges. I'm VERY impressed by this machine and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants professional quality print jobs from a medium- to higher-end color inkjet photo printer. The six (6) individual color cartridges (included) are fantastic. I love the fact there are multiple cartridges. Instead of running out of yellow -- and having to replace an uber cartridge (which may have semi-full reserves of red and blue), I simply replace the yellow cartridge. No wasted ink cartridges. Canon offers quality, professional-grade ink, too. And the price has been reasonable when compared against other print manufacturers and their wares. Despite large print runs, I haven't drained them quickly, like the prior HP color photo printer I owned (which also had individual cartridges), even with the same print output settings. And whether using Canon's Pro paper ($$$$) or plain white paper, I'm very impressed with the results. I would offer this advise to Canon in the design of their future printers, though: 1.) Better paper tray capacity; 2.) memory card slot(s) on the front, akin to HP's design; 3.) networking capabilities; 4.) Linux print drivers/software; and 5.) include a USB connection cable, please! I wanted the paper tray to hold more paper. As this is a photo printer, and not an office printer, I can understand the limited space. While there aren't any memory card slots on the printer, there is a USB 2.0 A port on the front side, which my Kodak digital camera base connects to. (There is also a USB 2.0 B port on the printer's backside which can be used, depending on how you're connecting from the printer to your computer.) And I can use both the digital camera's LCD and the printer's LCD to preview/select the picture I want to print without downloading to the computer first. (If you prefer to run large print jobs, I would recommend downloading to the computer first and printing from there.) I would like to see Canon adopt memory card slots for the front of the machine, akin to what HP has been offering. I'd prefer to pull the memory card from my digital camera, insert into the printer and print that way. I wish Canon (and other companies) would consider networking solutions within their printers. Yes, one computer on the network can serve as a print server (and if necessary, the USB cable can be simply moved from one machine to the other). I'd like to see either USB-based networking enabled, or wireless networking added to the next generation, though. Linux drivers and software: Bring 'em on! 'Nuff said.

Summary: Excellent printer... ink is a pain though...
Review: The Canon i900D is an outstanding photo printer. I purchased this printer some months ago after comparing printers for awhile.
This printer shares a shell with the i8xx and i9xx series of printers. The features vary, but this printer has the ability to do both direct printing from your digital camera and memory cards as well as from your computer. The setup and software are super easy to install and use and you'll be up and printing your first pictures in minutes.
And the prints! Photos printed on this printer are outstandingly crisp, with beautiful color. Quality photo paper produces prints that are indistinguishable from "real" photos. Printing is fast and the provided software lets you organize prints on any size paper easily and efficiently. Way to go Canon!
There are some downsides to this printer. The add-on drawer for photo-sized paper (like 5x7) is very cheesy and gets stuck easily. It doesn't work all that well for me either, although I rarely use it. And then there is ink...
This printer uses six tiny separate cartridges. No store locally stocks all six, so stock up on cartridges. The Canon cartridges are expensive (eleven bucks each...a bit cheaper on Amazon) and run out at different rates. The software will warn you when a tank is running low. On my printer this happens just before it runs out altogether. So keep the cartridges handy. (One nice touch with the ink tanks is that they are clear so you can actually see the ink level: no more wasted ink because the printer thinks the cartridge might be empty!!)
Otherwise, I'm very happy with this printer and recommend it highly.

Summary: Really nice photo printer
Review: This is my first photo printer and I couldn't be happier. The clarity and quality of the pictures is great. Just make sure you only use Canon photo paper with this printer. I originally used kodak premium photo paper and the quality of the photo prints was awful.
