I bought the Canon because it was cheap (yep, let's be honest. here, I'm a penny-pincher!). I got it for £30 with my PC package (which was NOT cheap!), from Currys.

I am impressed with the fact that this printer is quite small, and so can go just about anywhere. It is also quite light, making it easy to move it around.

It can be quite loud, but you get used to it after a while. It is quite slow if you are printing anything in fine print, and can sometimes take 2-3 minutes to print one full colour page. It is erasonably quick if you are printing drafts, it can do about eight pages a minute in black, about four pages a minute in colour.

The other thing that I don't like is the fact that the cartridges are quite expensive - £20 for a black and £25 for a colour cartridge. I actually work from home so I guess I use mine quite a lot, but I go through a cartridge every 3-4 weeks.

I've had mine for just over two years, and it is still as good as the day I got it, but I will be getting a new one soon.

All in all, it is a good printer for someone who isn't going to use it for anything other than letters to their mother or the occassional assignment for college. It does print quite well, but from some of the reviews I have read you can get a much better printer for just £30-40 more (the RRP on the Canon BJC-1000 is around £55).

I would reccomment that if you are going to use a printer a fair bit, spend a bit more and get a better printer.
