![]() This has not been a good experience AT ALL with Canon. I would like to give this Canon printer a chance to work correctly, but my patience are wearing thin. It bogs down every machine that I have ever had to install it on, but at this point, at least the HP printed correctly. I have always been an HP person but I was trying to avoid having to deal with HP's bloated software package that they insist the user install. After replacing the print head, running through all of the alignments & tests again, to no avail, I am having the same issue with this printer. Along with the new ink, they sent out a new print head. We (me on the phone with a Canon tech) ran through so many print head cleanings, alignments & tests that they had to send me new ink cartridges from draining the ink. The printer acts fine when printing B&W, but when printing color, there are all sorts of lines in the document. Whether I am using my MBP, or if I am using a Windows maching running Vista, the printing issues are uniform. I have only had both items less than a month & have already had 2 conversations with Canon regarding this printer & the numerous printing issues (I haven't even tried the scanning functionality yet).

I've also noticed that clients seem very happy with Canon in the inkjet department, and HPs - once they are finally setup correctly - seem to be good too. ![]() ![]() No clogs, cheap replacement inks online, good utility for monitoring and cleaning, good quality each time. I recently replaced my aging R200 (which was still working fine for a four-colour) with an R280 (six-colour) and both have been great for my (pretty occasional) use. My own personal experience has largely been with Epson inkjets (though my clients use a lot of different types of printers), and I've been very happy with them. You might want to consider other brands like Canon and Epson as well.Īs for what printer, the first question I would ask is do you mean inkjet? All-in-One? Laser printer? Lexmark makes all three so that detail is important. Still, maybe they've gotten their act together for Snow Leopard - I wouldn't know. I love HP hardware, but I'm less thrilled with their insistence on ignoring the built-in print engine and using their own convoluted and often buggy software. ![]()
