Summary: Beautiful printing, scanner didn't work
Comment: I had to return this printer due to the scanner not working since an error message said it couldn't communicate with the PC. Canon's online tech notes, and e-mail support (4 rounds), and a 45-minute phone call did not help. They just had me try different USB ports, uninstall and reinstall the software, and were wary of my 6' USB 2.0 cable, telling me that I needed a 4' gold-plated cable instead. I've never had a USB problem before with any other product.
They finally sent me a replacement (an upgraded unit, the MP180), but it exhibited the same problem. Both were reburbished units, but I think the Canon drivers have a problem.
I finally bought the Lexmark 2500 and it works fine.
The MP160 prints beautifully, however.
The Amazon distributor who sold me the original MP160 was very good to work with.

Summary: Beats HP
Comment: I was a low-end HP inkjet customer, for several printers. My last HP had mechanical issues after only a couple years of infrequent use. I nursed it along and when it fianlly gave out I went looking for something else. The MP-170 has exceeded all expectations; ease of use, utilities, and speed. The scanner has proven more useful than I thought it would. I've had this about a year, it's been great.

Summary: Good in many ways but also disappointing picture printing
Comment: I switched from an Epson when it stopped printing color properly, and I wanted a multi function inkjet for home use. Although I have liked my previous 2 Epsons, I decided against Epson because of a ribbon problem that occurs in various models (which happened to my husband's machine.) I also decided against HP because many consumer reviews mentioned paper jamming. Canon has very good reviews with Consumer Reports and on Amazon, and the price is very good.
I liked the size, the price, the multifunction and the easy to use interface (software and hardware) of the 170. However when I printed color and especially color photos, I was very disappointed. The edges of the image are very blurry as though the ink runs. I thought it was my digital image, but I tried printing the image using my husband's Epson C82, and it was night and day. The Epson image was nice and sharp with absolutely no problem. I am glad I didn't waste much time digitally fixing the image.
I print a lot of photos around Xmas time. I really cannot use this printer to print photos at all.
I have been usually very happy with all Canon products I own (2 excellent cameras and 1 scanner.)Perhaps the 4xx or 8xx models are better (based on Consumer Report), but they have a larger footprint than my desk can take.

Summary: canon printer
Comment: I am really happy with this printer. I have now had it for about 6 weeks. No problems so far. I think the printing quality for photos is great. I read the other reviews, which said that the photo quality left something to be desired, and I disagree. My only criticism is that it uses ink fast, so if you buy it, buy some ink refills at the same time. It seems to use up the color ink more quickly than the black. I also love the fact that it has a copier, which works great.

With the compact PIXMA MP170 Photo All-In-One, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish. Right at home, you can easily print high-quality photos and text, copy important documents, and scan your photos and other images. One key to its impressive printing performance: Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses an innovative print head with 1,472 nozzles that eject consistent, precise ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters. More nozzles + higher accuracy = better photos. This patented technology produces an outstanding resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi1, for superb detail and photo-realism. You won't wait long for the results; printing a beautiful photo lab quality 4"x 6" borderless photo takes approximately 55 seconds.What about copying? For improved performance, AE (Auto Exposure) Copy feature automatically optimizes reproduction quality based on the type of original you're duplicating. Whether you're copying your photos, text documents or a mix of both, the MP170 Photo All-In-One automatically adjusts the exposure to give you the best output possible. When scanning your photos or graphics, you'll produce high-quality reproductions of up to 1200 dpi with vibrant 48-bit color depth. Plus, the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed3 interface accelerates the process, enabling the fastest possible image transfers and scanning speeds.
