Great general purpose printer
By Stephen Holland
This review is in the context of a Mac System. I replace an aging Epson Stylus Color ink-jet printer with this purchase. I was tired of replacing a a three color ink cartridge, and picked the Canon iP3300 in part on the separate ink cartridge approach that this printer uses.We use this as the main general purpose printer for our home computer. I am very pleased with the results. Image quality is excellent. The print looks laser printer quality in sharpness. Color rendition is excellent. The printing is fast. There are two paper paths that can be set up with different papers, making printing from different media easy and automatic. The printer is quiet except for some extra noise when it rapidly loads or quickly spits out paper after completing printing. Even then it is typical for an ink-jet printer. If the rapid load noise is objectionable the printer can be set to load quietly.The drivers are just great. If you open to cover while printing it stops and an alert comes up and gently reminds you to close the top when done. The printer utility runs very well. It gives the options of automatic turn-on and turn-off, head cleaning (including standard, deep cleaning, and bottom plate cleaning), nozzle check test prints, and print head alignment. It also includes an option for quiet mode. In this mode the paper is fed more slowly and quietly than in regular mode, which really is quieter than the standard mode. It even gives the option of setting times of day when quiet mode is in force, a nice touch. The auto turn-on and turn-off is disabled by default, so if you get this printer be sure to set it up in the printer utility. Drive loading required using the included CD. The installer ran smoothly and the disk space requirement is modest. I am running 10.4.9 at this moment, and it works well. The only thing I haven't tried is the PictBridge port in the front since I don't have a digital camera. Images I tested were the background images available in /Library/Desktop Pictures.An interesting observation is that the lp utility work with this printer, but when a pdf file is printed out the text is lighter and less sharp then when the same PDF is printed by Preview. Preview also prints a PDF faster. For straight ASCII both lp and TextEdit are equally fast, but lp lost half a line at the bottom edge of a page. I do some programmatic printing using the command line utilities. Perhaps there is a driver for lp that I'm missing.You don't get automatic duplexing like the Canon PIXMA iP4300 Photo Printer (1438B002), but the iP4300 is $20 more and needs 5 color inks rather than the 3 color inks that to iP3300 uses. I expect cheaper ink costs on the iP3300. If photos are a big issue for you, research the 3 color vs 5 color issue.Anyway, great printer for a great price. 5 stars for the great quality output despite this printer being less than $100. Great text and photo output, individual ink tanks, auto-power, and nice driver.

Canon PIXMA iP3300 Inkjet Printer (1437B02) A good product
By Joseph F. Mitsch Jr.
Canon color is the most accurate color I have seen in any printer. I like the fact that each of the four cartridges will only cost $11.00. Compared to my older LEXMARK which tried to make all of their money in ink sales, canon ink is reasonable. The software for the Canon PIXMA iP3300 Inkjet Printer (1437B02)is very good and installs very quickly for WIN XP. I have printed beautiful photographs on cheap dollar store photographic printer paper and the images were excellent even on cheap paper. The color reproduction could not be better, I am truly amazed at the accurate reproduction of colors. I use this printer for text as well in the fast mode and it does fine with text. I have not figured out how to use the front print tray yet. The Main print tray in the back of the printer works fine with standard letter paper and 4X6 glossy and envelopes printed from MS WORD. If you are using VISTA ( the half completed operating system project from Microsoft ) you may want to check for VISTA drivers availability for the Canon PIXMA iP3300 Inkjet Printer (1437B02) on the canon download site. Because printing photographs is so costly I prefer to use my photographic printer mainly for text and the occasional photograph, however when I scan an important document I expect that my printer will deliver a faithful reproduction and the Canon PIXMA iP3300 Inkjet Printer (1437B02)certainly does that. You will enjoy this printer on XP!

Top Notch All Purpose Printer
By David Witty
This printer's speed, text and graphics are all excellent. I print about 50 pages a day and it always operates trouble-free.I am only giving it four stars, not five, for one reason: it is no longer possible to replace the original Canon ink cartridges with cheaper compatible ink cartridges because the originals now come with a chip. That makes the cost of replacing the four ink cartridges around $55 unless you're willing to mess around with transferring the chips to a compatible cartridge yourself.Unfortunately, the other print manufacturers have taken similar steps to prevent people from using the compatible ink.If you do a lot of printing like I do the solution is to install a continuous ink system.
