Summary: Best printer ever
Comment: Does everything it advertises. Borderless printing and duplex printing are the s**t. The wireless printing is cool too but its up to you to decide if it's worth the extra $$$. As for me, I am totally satisfied.

Summary: Canon PIXMA iP4000R Wireless Photo Printer
Comment: After owning about a dozen printers I have found the best of the best. Ink is cheap and the printer is fast, quiet, and uses very little ink. The quality of this printer far exceeds all others I have owned. The wireless feature is the best as well as easy to setup once you get all the needed hardware. would recommend this printer to all of you that are tried of paying the high prices for the ink cartridges. good luck.

Summary: No Color at All
Comment: I give up. It prints black text great, but there is no color at all. I've been through every diagnostic, every setting, re-installed the driver, checked the ink cartridges several times. Forget it. Grrrrr.

Summary: A Great Problem Solver
Comment: I have had and liked a number of Canon printers. The combination of an I850 with the print server in the Apple Airport Express just did not work reliably. (But was better than the hassle of having to connect the laptop to print.) So when my son needed a printer, I looked around and decided to give him the I850 and buy the iP4000R.
I did the setup in the kitchen, which after reading the manual, was easier than I expected. (One suggestion, follow the steps to print the network info on the printer and note any changes or other items on the printout.)
After disconnecting the USB cable, I tried to print. At first disappointment, it was dog slow and stopped in the middle of the job. (I should note that the printer reported a marginal WiFi signal.) But after a few seconds it automatically restarted the print job. At least this let me know that there would no longer be lost print jobs.
Now that the printer is sitting where it belongs and has a nice strong signal, it is quick and has not missed a beat!
I also like the added features compared with the previous Canon's I had. The paper cassette allows the user to either expand the paper capacity or have different types available. I have #10 envelopes in the cassette, so when I print a letter I can just go ahead and print the envelope for it. Duplex printing is a nice bonus. I can save paper by printing on both sides and not have bleed through, though it does slow it down.
I'm glad that my son needed a printer!

Summary: Great printer, but here's something you should know
Comment: I got the Pixma ip4000r so my wife could print from her wireless laptop from her home office while I could print via a USB cable from mine. This was replacing an Epson Stylus Color 600 printer which was sometimes upset when the A/B switch we were using was in the wrong position. The printing is great and fast, but there is one fact missing from the installation booklet I think you should know about. It says you should disable the MAC filters at your 192.168.1.1 wireless site and this is true, otherwise the printer will not communicate with your wireless laptop. If, after successful setup, you re-enable the MAC filters, the laptop will no longer communicate with the printer. What you have to do is enter the printer's MAC address under the "EDIT" portion of the MAC filter screen and "SAVE" at the bottom. Then when you enable the MAC filters the printer will be recognized. OR you could also leave the MAC filters disabled. The printer's MAC address is found in the "BJ Tool>View>Network properties". Look for the "BJ tool" in "Start>All Programs>Canon Pixma".
I hope this tip saves a lot of frustration and calls to Canon.
