Possession of the device now about 1 month. For my studies I have to print quite a few pages of text. Unlike some reviews before me, I can not confirm that he is a bit too slow. After switching on, he is ready to print in about 1-2 minutes. The printing of several pages of text in fast draft mode is very quick, yet the typeface for the domestic purpose is not (yet) completely ok. In print for UNIarbeiten that I have to make, I set a higher print quality and also here the Canon is still working quickly. I am really very satisfied so far. Photo prints I do not do, I can say nothing. As a text printer with and without color elements, images and graphics on plain paper so far I can highly recommend the unit. Tip 1: If there are only a few blank pages in paper tray, the printer sometimes the single sheet pulls something a wrong. Therefore, better keep the tape always full of paper filled. Tip 2: driver CD can safely remain in the box, if you, like me, use the device under Windows 7. Windows 7 already comes with the drivers for the IP 3600; simply connect the printer with a USB cable to computer, after about 2-3 minutes, Windows 7 has automatically recognized and installed the IP 3600. On the Canon Support site there are still some current special drivers to Windows 7, but you have to re-install only if necessary. Tip 3: It is handy that you can set in the print settings that the device switches on automatically when in an application, a print job is started, and likewise also automatically switch off again when he or adjustable 5, 10, 15, 30 60 minutes gets no new print job. Tip 4: The large black cartridge PGI-520 contains ample 19 ml, which is sufficient for many many many pages of text. . I did not count them, but I think with a little more favorable alternative cartridges and also using the so-called fast printing mode with passable typeface, the device also (very) works cost; at least if you Canon, like me, mostly used as a text printing press.
