Printers : Canon PIXMA MP830

My wife and I purchased the MP830 about three weeks ago, I must say, so far so good. We've printed high quality photos and text while using better quality papers and we're delighted with the numerous features that will help in a our small office environment.The first time we used it I was a bit disturbed with the noise of the unit, but after calling tech support they had me adjust the quiet mode which is found in the maitenance selection. Now you can hardly hear it print. It has two paper feeds, one in the back and the other in a tray located under the unit. I have looked for cheaper inks and found they are becoming more available, but as far as refilling the tanks, I don't think it's possible without voiding your warranty. I'm sure that in the near future someone will have a work around figured for this. The fax units instructions are a bit misleading, so if you have any problem's with setup, call Canon's Tech Support, they are free for the first 12 months after which it cost 9.95 per call, that is, unless you buy the extended warranty, which is an additional 95.00 for two more years. Not bad for the kind of support offered. All in all, I think this will be a keeper!! Hide Full Review

I bought this printer to replace my cannon multi F50. I was really excited to have this printer until I had to replace the ink cartridges. They put a chip on the cartridges so you can only use Cannon Ink Cartridges; you can't refill the cartridges, because the chip will recognize that and make the cartridge useless. The ink goes very fast...You could easily spend $200 + a year on ink. I decided to junk this printer and buy a Brother instead. The ink is cheaper and you can use off brand ink if you choose too.

Think this is a great printer,and has alot to offer for a all in one printer.Haven't had a jam up yet,and rarely have blank sheets go through.The only thing I can't stand is how quick it seems to run out of ink.No guessing when its low or runs out.Its very easy to replace ,and know which one to change.I'm Keeping this one,but looking for a second one Xerox phaser-laser for the volume I use.
