This is a recent addition to my home office that I picked up as an insurance replacement for an old Canon BJC-4000 that was damaged in our basement flood. I had intended to use it for greetings cards and light color print tasks but after printing a full page photo with it, I was inclined to use it... Read full review »

Sorry Canon, But I'd Rather Throw The IP1500 Into A Cannon Than Use It

Pros Fast print speed, easy to use, cheap ink

Cons Not impressed with print quality, noisy, questionable construction quality, annoying feed

Recommended it? No

When I bought my T3882 at Office Depot, it came with a bundled Canon IP1500. At the time, I still had and still have a working HP PSC1315 all-in-one. It's a decent printer but I thought that it did the weirdest stuff like not cancelling print jobs and re-installing drivers for no reason. I kept the... Read full review »

Good Budget Printer

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls

Pros Cheap, fastish speed, excellent quality, excellent Canon software

Cons Slightly noisy, missing an output tray

Recommended it? Yes

I picked up this printer at a local computer store for AUD$125, (although I'm sure it's much cheaper in the States) which is a pretty good price for a budget printer in Australia, sort of a strata above the very budget inkjets.

Being a student, I used to own a Epson C41, but this was... Read full review »

I needed a small, inexpensive yet good quality printer for photos that I use as reference for my oil painting projects. I also wanted one that I could use to print out some decent photos for my family album, and preferably one whose ink doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Well, I found the Canon PIXMA...

Pros Ink cheap to buy and printing quality great.

Cons small ink cartridges and prone to smudging when printing

Recommended it? No

I purchased the Canon Pixma ip1500 a little over a year ago. I loved it and found it made beautiful prints. Then, a few months later, the printing seemed faded in places and I contacted Canon. As it was still under warranty, they decided the problem was the printer heads and sent me out a new set... Read full review »

Pros Cost of printer. Photo quality pictures that it prints.

Cons Having to buy a USB cord. No paper tray! What's up with that Canon?

This printer is THE best printer that I have ever owned. It prints really really good photo quality pictures without borders especially for the cheap price of $50 that I paid for it. It was simple to hook up and prints excellent pictures with really vivid colors. So far, the print cartridges have... Read full review »
