all photo printers

After two horrible experiences with HP printers I purchased a Canon i550 two years ago. It never disappointed. When I decided I wanted scanning and copying capability it was a sure thing to stick with Canon. I have been using this multipass for about a month now and I am very happy with it. Great photo & document print quality. And, as well known, one great advantage to Canon printers is the reasonably priced ink cartridges. I LOVE having the ability to use the copy function when the pc is not on. This makes my bill keeping and schoolwork much easier. This mfp looks impressive on the desk and is a dark navy blue color with silver details. The only aspect of the printer that has bothered me is the size; it's a little on the large side. But, this is minor in my office as I have plenty of room for it. Looking at other mfp's at the stores, the large size is pretty standard. I ordered this on Amazon (...)- a FABULOUS price for the function and quality of this Canon. Thanks, Amazon!

*Very easy to setup and use.
*Excellent print quality.
*Scans of pictures look great.
*Copier function is easy to use, don't even need to have computer turned on.
*Fast printing.

I want to clear up a negative comment an earlier reviewer said that this machine runs out of ink quickly.

The machine itself doesn't use up the ink quickly, Canon always packages their ink cartridges so that they are economical to the average user(consumer).

What I mean is that most of the time you can buy the "black" Canon ink cartridge for typically less than $10 compared to Hewlett Packard which sells it's black ink cartridges for typically $25+. The difference being in the two products is the amount of ink contained in each one. The Canon ink cartridge for $10 has maybe half the ink that the Hewlett Packard $25 ink cartridge has.

For the average user like myself, I like given the choice of buying a smaller ink cartridge for $10 rather than being stuck with paying $25 for a size ink cartridge that will take you forever to use.

Get the idea?

A decent scanner alone would cost almost this amount, but in this product you get all 3 (printer,copier,scanner) in one. Excellent product Canon, A+

I was considering this product until I checked Canon's website. No OS X support. It works in 9.1 and OS X in "classic" mode but no real OS X support. Most of the included software works in XP only.
From Canon's site...

"""Mac OS X Compatibility

Canon multifunction products are not supported in Mac OS X. Please see below for the list of products compatible with Mac OS.

All models not listed are compatible with Windows operating systems only."""

Check it out at canonusa. Look for MultiPASS MP360.

One star due so lack of support for Macintosh OS X when they support it for their digital cameras.
