Printer and device (Mac) good paper management next

Since the predecessor MG5350 slowly limp made the CD / DVD tray, and only sporadically the tray moved independently, had a new printer ago.
The main application is in addition to the printing of CD's of pressure from A5 cards. Unfortunately, in my opinion, from the Amazon description but not clearly apparent that this printer does not have a single sheet feeder more drawer and the second only paper up. 13x18cm sums.
Why? Place was in the drawer enough and must now be for A5 Prints only cleared the lower compartment and converted to the format.
Unfortunately, this applies to all new Canon devices - what about this retrogression? Why the user is incapacitated?
Etc. Even for everyday tasks such as slip sheets, envelopes must be the lower compartment "rebuilt" Now Always. Well, maybe so could the profit margin on the basis of 4 missing roles etc. be increased.

The printer is in operation clearly louder than its predecessor or other models that I had in the past. It also does not sound so "tired", but more like plastic.
So much for the negative aspects - now for the better:

- For OS X 10.8 Install loads the app on the CD automatically the driver from the Internet (about 500 MB)
- The installation is done clearer and faster than its predecessor MG5350
- The MP Navigator no longer exists and scans are stored directly in the Documents folder (no longer with pictures / MP Navigator EX / date / ...) - very pleasant
- The Photoshop template for the new CD / DVD Tray (J) could be easily adapted (the data carrier is about 15mm higher and about 0.3 mm further to the right than the tray G)
- The tray should be used at all easier, since it no longer runs so deep in the printer

I'm curious to the XL cartridges - whether they really hold that much longer.

Because of the lousy and in my opinion unnecessary paper management of item only gets 3 stars, even if the remaining points are at least on par with its predecessor.

Addendum 30.12.2013:
After just half a year immersed error B200 on (fault with the printhead). It's still the first set used XL cartridges. This means that the print head did not even really work a lot. That's a No.
Thankfully Amazon is accommodating and takes back the unit. Will probably have to look for another printer. Canon is no longer what it once was. Therefore, the depreciation on a star.
