Pros: Easy Setup, easy to use
Cons: Low Quality Output, see above review.
I like the price of the Canon Pixma MP280. The only complaint I have is the amount of color printing you can do with it. I do alot of color printing and it seems like I have to replace the color cartridge frequently and I don't get alot of color prints per cartridge. I average about 10-12 prints per cartridge.

Pros: Easy Setup, High Quality Output, fast print speed
Cons: Difficult to use
I bought this product because it was reasonably priced and had all the features I was looking for in a printer. While printing is very good, I am very disapointed in the scanning software. At best, it is clumsy and irritating to use. It scans fine, but lacks the ability to more than just scan and save. The user has to open a scan in order to crop, whereas other scanning software I've used allows the user to define the area to scan and crop within the main image itself. And, while the capability may be there, I've yet to find it, there doesn't seem to be a way to scan multiple documents and save as one file. Instead, the user has to scan, save and then start all over. I would not buy another of these printers.
Plus, the power cord doesn't fit very well and comes unplugged on a regular basis.

i am still stunned at the quality and performance of this printer. when i saw the price, i was expecting to get what i paid for, instead i got this awesome addition to my home office. half the price of just the ink for my old printer, i'm still in shock and have become a Canon customer for good. thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Pros: very clear copies
Cons: noisy
This copier is easy to set up and use (I am 77 years old) It was affordable for my fixed income. the only thing I see that is a negative is that it is very noisy. It uses very little ink I have not had to buy new cartridges and have used it oftern much better than my old one another brand. very happy with it would recommend it and would buy another one.

Pros: beautiful scans with brilliant clarity.
Cons: maddeningly difficult to link it to a network.
The clarity of the scanning is phenomenal, exactly what one would expect from Canon. The printing is sharp and fast. However: Neither of the laptops to which I installed drivers would communicate with this device, and I was required to use the (included) USB cable in order to print.
The onscreen manual is dense with technical jargon and reads as though written by someone for whom English is not a native language. Despite proficiency with both computers and English, I found the process of troubleshooting incredibly laborious; what I would prefer is a fast, efficient fix over the technical treatise which is supplied.
Great printing, optically perfect scanning, but with the Wi-Fi feature inaccessible, I have to give this machine a lower recommendation.

I am so pleased with this printer/scanners performance. It does 10X more than the printer I had and you can't beat the price. I would recommend this product to anyone I know....keep up the good work Canon.
