"Completely satisfied"
Great multifunction device, easy to setup and easy to use. I don't like that you can only print photos from SDcard, but not docs, and that a USB cable doesn't included. But WiFi works great. The printer is quiet. I also like double side printing option.

"Very Good Printer - MAC OS Compatible"
This printer has replaced a Cannon i860, which provided about 6 years of very reliable performance... it isn't done yet though... been given to a young nephew for use with his new notebook. Since I had such good fortune with the previous Cannon product... I didn't look to any other brand to replace it. The MP560 has already proven to be a very good printer. Fine quality output, print and photos. The built in scanning bed saves space (was able to also gift an older stand-alone scanner). The copy feature of not having to have the iMac turned on... is great. Installation was without any problems... very straight forward setup (wireless) Printer recognized my network... I just had to key the network password using the turn-wheel on the control panel to select alpha/numeric values. I installed the Cannon software without a problem too. I previously used and older version of the MP Navigator 1.0, so I was used to the features. Also checked for Mac Software updates after I installed the software and it found all of the necessary updates for this printer... no need to visit the Cannon website for driver updates. All in all... a very good unit for every day use... and for the price... it's amazing how a device with such features and functionality can be provided. My only complaint is that the unit does not shut off by itself... you have to depress the "ON" button to turn it off. This seems a bit odd given all of its sophistication... and especially since the front of the printer has an "Energy Star" label! There's really no reason for the omission of this important energy saving feature. My much older printer turned on and off by itself. What's up with dat Cannon? I still highly recommend this printer. Maybe Cannon will issue a firmware update at some point to resolve power saver issue.

"So easy a cavema....... never mind"
Our HP died last week(2nd HP's in three years). I was fed up with worthless software packages, HP pop-ups, "low" ink warnings at 50% (with links to HP websites, etc... Based on reviews here, we bought the HP560 wireless.

Set-up: on a difficulty scale of 1-10 (10 being the msot difficult), I'd give this s 2 1/2. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. Did I mention that you must FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS??? Make sure you know your network's name and security p/w.

We have 5 computers (3 Win-7s, 1 XP desktop and a Vista laptop), all set up to a home network. One of the laptops is a Gateway netbook (no CD drive). The only reason I gave the install process a 2 1/2 was that I had to load the drivers from the Canon website to set the netbook up with the printer. No mention of that step in the installaton process. Also, make sure you set the printer settings on the main computer to share the printer. After that, the set-up's a breeze. It took me about an hour to set up the printer on all 5 machines.

Printing is quiet, quick and colors are vivid. Sanning and copying are a bit slow, but I bought this mainly for the wireless network printing.

This was worth the $85 (especially since Best Buy had it for $100 and Office Depot had it "on sale" for $129).

"Great all in one printer"
So far so good. Was reallly easy to set up and learn to use. Makes good copies. Haven't scanned anything yet so don't know about that. A little noisy ( I don't care ). And takes awhile to "think" before it prints but all in all I am happy with it. Looks good too. Much sleeker than my old clunker. One concern - I was fiddling with holder on the lower paper tray and ended up with this little tiny spring! Can't figure out where it came from and hope it doesn't cause problems in the future! Anybody knows - let me know!

"Lots of features, but you have to use the CD Software to use them"
First off, I am very happy with this printer. This is my second Canon PIXMA printer, the last one I sold when I moved. I do like the included software, which is a little unusual for me, but the Canon MP Navigator is the best bundled software utility I have ever used. It makes scanning documents and turning them into a PDF a breeze. I would usually do all my scanning directly in Photoshop because using bundled software was always like working in handcuffs. Using MP Navigator however was the opposite. Now I will even scan out of MP Navigator, then open the images in Photoshop to adjust image quality (prebundled software has yet to compete in this arena) then open them again in MP Navigator to make a multipage PDF.

My only gripe about the CD is that when you are installing the printer on your computer, you have to install it from the CD to use all the features. Installing this printer using Windows Control Panel > Printers will not give you the ability to scan wirelessly. This might not seem like a big deal, but say you are going to use a different network than the one which you first set up the printer. To do this you have to use the CD to set up the printer on that wireless network. Nevermind that you already have all the software installed. You still have to use to CD.

That said, I love the auto-duplexing, a feature that more and more basic printers are offering. I also like the paper tray which tucks away neatly at the bottom of the printer, so you don't have paper sticking out anymore. Another thing I really like that seems pretty simple is that the print door opens automatically when you send a document to print. The previous printers I had never did this, so if you forgot to open the print door your document would get all crunched up inside. In all, this printer was totally worth buying.
