Summary: Excellent photo printing, decent text
Comment: I bought this printer a few months back as a replacement for my Canon i860 that has been a workhorse. I was attracted by the direct printing from memory cards, as well as the additional photo color cartridges for better prints. I had been eyeballing this printer from the time it was released to retailers.
I have rather mixed feelings about this printer, but I think the easiest way to describe it is by listing the positives and negatives.
Positive:
1. Outstanding photo printing. I thought my i860 printed great photos (it does-even with generic inks), but the iP6600D is a step better. I too have used processors to print some photos before, and when using Canon Photo Paper Pro Glossy paper, this printer is every bit as good as those processed prints. In fact, I have had people ask both if the photos were film and professionally printed.
2. Two paper loading options - the back primary for standard paper, the drawer for photo paper. This can be set up in the driver to auto-select based on the type of printing job (*but...seee negatives). It is convenient to not have to manually swap paper or turn a switch to change paper.
3. Quiet - this printer is somewhat quieter than my i860
4. Nice LCD screen for direct editing/printing of photos on photo memory cards.*
5. Seperate ink tanks - economy of replacing only those inks that are needed - not an entier combo tank.*
6. Lots of features not found in many other printers in the same price class.
7. Fast printing.
Negatives:
1. Inks are relatively expensive for individual colors (compared to my i860). For Canon inks, they run around $17 each (with 6 tanks....ouch). Thus far, there are no 3rd party ink cartridges that are compatible with this printer. My i860 printed photos very close to the same quality using cheap inks as the Canon inks.
2. The Memory Card reader - the box advertises that it is xD compatible - but in reality, the printer requires an adaptor for xD to function in this printer - and Canon doesn't even market or sell such an adaptor (have found elsewhere - for $30+). Wording on marketing material should be clarified in this regard. Borders on false advertising.
3. Large footprint - this printer takes up a lot of room - several square inches more than my i860.
4. Driver can be a bit tempermental in regards to the paper source. It is suppose to (when properly set up) automatically select the appropriate paper source - photo paper in tray or standard paper in regular paper feed. The driver often does not make the right selection - pulling regular 8.5X11 paper when printing 4X6 photos. Thus wasting ink and causing an inconvenience. I am hoping future releases of the driver will fix this bug.
5. Text printing - the text printing of this printer is not quite as clean and sharp as my Canon i860 (or many other printers for that matter). I guess this to be because of the use of only one black cartrige for both photos and text. The i860 has two black cartridges - one specifically for text, the other for photos -
Overall, thsi printer has potential to be a great printer - particularly for photos. It's text printing ability and relative high cost of inks are the traits that have encouraged me to keep my Canon i860 going. IF Canon can get the driver working correctly and inks come down a bit in price, I will use this printer a lot more.

Summary: works great
Comment: I have read some of the reviews about color and paper issues. I just got mine yesterday, and was very nervous about buying paper to feed it. After considering the things I read online, I was going to spend the extra money and go with cannon paper, but decided at the last minute to try office depots pro matte finish paper that was far less expensive, and came with a return policy if I was not satisfied. I threw about 10 photos at the printer, trying to test it in as many ways as possible, from black and white, and vivid multi-colored complex pics, nothing I did would cause it to produce anything other than stunning photos with depth. Bottom line, for the price, I could not be more satisfied, and would love to see a printer in this range put out a supperior photo. I am not a pro, and I am sure that there are settings that I have yet to even play with, but for printing right out of the box, this was to easy, good job cannon. (BTW, I am a Nikon man at heart, own the F-100 and D-100, just could not find a printer by them, although, I did not look very hard) PS, I did make the mistake of printing a low resolution(400x800)photo on 8 and a half by eleven, and that did not work so well, but the same pic at much higher resolutions, came out perfectly!!!!!

Summary: Terrific printer
Comment: I'm not a big review writer but I had to leave a comment on this printer. We just got it and I love it. The pictures are beautiful. Someone had mentioned a red cast to the pictures. I had this too and it was easily fixed. I followed some instructions on Canon's website (can't remember exactly what they were but they were not difficult). I definitely recommend this printer.
