I have the printer though only two days but I am already in use thrilled. The opportunities this printer would be enough for a small office. At my house it was good enough. The various functions are self-explanatory from the display and the keyboard out. The networking is refreshingly simple. CD in, install drivers and everything goes. Under Win7, XP and Linux (driver from the Canon Download Page). I'd like to respond to the negative points of the previous speakers here. The previous model with me was an IP4600. Even from where I know longer waiting times at the first pressure. Frequent cleanings were the case here. During driver installation can any programs you do not want or do not know unchecking. Fax reception is so in the manual only when the power is. This is, moreover, very well struckturiert to my mind and understood. Full Printer unfortunately I have not had in any new device. The alternative cartridges but to get with chip between 1.97 euros and 2.97 euros. For 165 euros, this printer with the options he has for me not too expensive. I give up now a strong buy recommendation.
