Summary: Canon Photo Printer
Comment: This printer is easy to set up and quick to print. Generally handles color adequately, but seems to have difficulty generating photo accurate bright colors towards the edges of the photos. Experiementing with the many printing options available has not resulting in solving this problem. In fact, I was hard pressed to notice any difference in results regardless of the print settings! All in all, I won't throw this printer in the trash, but I doubt I will buy another one like this when it dies.

Summary: Mac: Difficult to Manage
Comment: The printer itself is a little more difficult to manage on a Mac - the utilities are buried deeper.
After aligning the heads, I still see streaks on the page (spaces between lines of printing). I will keep experimenting, but the streaks only appear at the end of a 4x6 print.
The contrast of the printer is low. This produces pictures which appear washed out and light.
For printing, I am using Adobe Lightroom on Mac OS X 10.4.
EDITED TO ADD:
The issue with streaks appears to be when I attempt to use borderless printing. Once I use border printing, it works. What's even more odd is that the colors and contrast are completely different depending on which mode I use.
Based on these new settings, I would increase my rating to a 4 star. I am no longer having problems with streaks or contrast; but the control panel for the printer is buried within a Mac's setup menus.

Summary: Canon is the best - can buy generic ink
Comment: This is my second Canon Pixma printer. Love how reliable they are and pretty fast for an inexpensive printer. Best part is you can buy generic ink replacement wayyyyyyyy cheaper.

Summary: excellent fast printer--but some difficulties setting up with mac
Comment: An excellent, fast and very cheap printer. Works well even with a wireless router, but I had some difficulty getting the printer to work (Use primarily a MacBrook Pro). I found that when first trying to print, it is important not to print from iphoto, as the printer will not set up properly. First print a normal word document, or email with this printer (it can be selected as a new printer "bonjour") and then try printing photos. Received truly first rate support, however, from Canon.

Summary: Decent Photo printer
Comment: I just had it for a couple weeks. Didn't really print anything other than just documents since I'm in college. Pretty easy to install and setup. The black print quality seems pretty decent. It also has a cool design. Overall, I like it.
