The cartiges that I first bought were almost instantly indicated as empty and every other print job results in a jam. I have to go to the library because it is always "jammed". I am currently giving up on this because it thinks it is jammed but there is nothing in the machine. This is the worst printer I have ever used. I am a college student and need to print things everyday and this printer is useless. The buttons are confusing and useless as they do not solve the issue.
I wanted to take this thing outside and beat it with a bat like in Office Space. I will never buy a Canon product again. When it did get stuck, the printer would just keep printing on the damn roller, getting ink all over it. The paper feeder must have been designed by someone with Parkinson's because the paper would always either get immediately stuck or go through the printer crooked. Biggest mistake I've ever made. I bought two of these from Office Depot because it was on sale for so cheap. I used one for my apartment and gave one to my sister to use, and they both broke within weeks. Then, the next sheet of paper would have ink smears all over it, if you were lucky enough to have it even come through.
If only there were a driver hack to override the error mode, and make the machine cheaper to operate. Another is that the printer will use color ink even for b&w prints. One is that the driver will shut down the entire machine unless it reads both ink cartridges with ink - even the scan function. The final strike is the fact that the machine will refuse to take remanufactured cartridges, so you won't save money that way, either. I've been using this machine for 2 years now, got it on sale for $60 at Walmart. It beats my previous printer by a mile for speed, low noise, value, and even print quality, but there are some caveats to buying one of these. So forget about using it for limited home printing only to save money.
I bought it clearance at Best Buy for $60, and I have never looked back. ;) I have had my Canon MP210 printer for over a year. This baby does everything I need, with great quality and speed.It does go through the ink, which is spendy unless you know where to look.
So I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It would be cheaper and more convenient to go to kinkos for every print. All it does now is crush paper. I few uses later and it no longer works. This printer worked for about maybe 20 uses. I don't use my printer very often but when I do I'd like it to work. I think I had to change the ink after about 15 pages. I'd like to consider myself a capable electronics user, I mean I've built several computers, but this printer just will not work.
