I've owned 5 of them. (no, not all at the same time.) I also had the dreaded "WASTE TANK FULL ERROR" If you call Canon they will tell you the printer is dead and cannot be fixed. I got tired of battling on the E-Bay auctions to buy another at $100 or more. I just found a Brother MFC 230. It has a scanner and fax, I found it on sale at Office Depot for $69.99. There are generic inks available here on e-bay. The ink tanks are only a little more expensive (not much) and they are larger so they last longer than the Canon inks. And here is the best part. The Brother machine will not give you the "WASTE TANK ERROR" problem. Plus the generic inks for it are safe and will not kill your printer the way that the generics for Epson's, etc will.

PRO-I have had my IP1500 since they came out more years than I can remember. I owned a bubble jet 2000 by Canon & it lasted much longer. It has traveled & indurered. It even prints heavy index cards without a problem. I know it uses alot of ink cleaning the head before every print job. I would purchase another if they were available now that my ink waste tank is full and I can't get information on purchasing a replacement to change it myself.Con-forced to send it to a repair shop to change ink waste tank whch is more expensivem than the original purchase price or purchasing a new printer, which means more land fill what a shame.

I've had this printer for the past 4 yrs of college, and I have no plans for replacing it anytime soon. I can print everything from low-ink powerpoint slides for class to high-quality pictures for my room, and it's VERY easy to use. I even bring it with me whenever I go home, at my parents' request.The ink is cheap, and I've discovered that when it "runs out", if I swap the cartridge out and let the old one sit for a few days, it is ready to use again. This way, I can go weeks longer without buying ink.

PROS:My Pixma printer was a gift from an IT expert. He told me this printer was used for all employees in the large office where he worked, with virtually no problems.It's so easy to use, I would recommend it for one's aging mom and dad, who've never used a computer or printed photos. They will be pleasantly surprised!It takes little room. Will do just about anything you need; from fast-print text to beautiful color photos, making your own gift cards, works great for crafts as well.CON:There's only one con I can think of after owning this for over 2 years and using it for everything: I wish the ink cartridges would last longer. The convenience of not having to replace a cartridge so frequently, IMO, would make this the perfect printer for anyone, not even ... MorePROS:My Pixma printer was a gift from an IT expert.

I have had a canon IP1500 for years, till the ink tank got full and couldn't get it fixed, and have always had good luck with them. The ink tanks are cheap and easy to get. The print quality is good and very little trouble.
I just bought my third one of this type printer. Outstanding quality prints on everything, and that includes pictures. They last for at least 2 years. If you know how to, to fix once ink absorbency is full. It can even work for a longer amount of time.I consider canon printers to be the best quality printers you can buy. I would recommend to anyone I know. I bought on May 5, 2011.
Item works perfectly. Since I already had one, it was easy to set up and the color is great. Glad I already had a power cord.
I would highly recommend this quality printer!!
Purchased used (eBay) one year ago. Used sparingly, but really appreciate the low cost ink cartridges which I hope will continue to be available. Unfortunately the cartridge ink capacity is on the low side so need to replace often if more than casual printing is attempted.Printer was inexpensive, but the cartridges are the moneymaker for Canon (and all other companies). Performance has been reliable, good quality output and compact footprint.
Ink for this printer is very inexpensive. You get a good print with black + color cartridges less than $10. It is a little slow if you need fast printing.
