If you have a 64-bit system (like Vista64 or XP x64) or you are using Mac OS X then don't buy it, because there is no drivers for these systems, also there is drivers for Linux but only 32-bit.

The usability of the printer software is bad; you will always forget where the printer options are located.
The printer software does not support printing on 2-sides (duplex), not even the manual duplex (via driver)...I see manual duplex very common nowadays even in the lowest printers in the market and I don't think adding this feature is hard for the developers in Canon...(This was the most annoying problem that make me replace the printer)
Finally, the printer software replaces the printer job manager which comes with Windows, and I found it silly a little
After all that I decided to replace LBP2900 with HP LaserJet 1020 which have two disadvantages: 600x600 dpi No Mac OS X drivers (I don't have problem with this)
These two disadvantages were eliminated with HP LaserJet 1022 and a lot of features have been upgraded like speed, maximum input capacity or added like tray cover, 8 MB memory, Go and Cancel buttons...
After all, I advice you to think twice before buying this printer...
Advantages: Cheap, Reliable and produces high quality prints Disadvantages: The odd paper jam
...working. My friend recommended the Canon Laser Shot LBP 2900 Printer, As that is what he had been using and said it was reasonably cheap to buy and did a good job. So the next day I went onto Amazon, Paid my £54.50 and waited for it to arrive.
Upon its arrival, I promptly went about setting it up, Now I was impressed it was small and compact and looked stylish with its monochrome finish.
For £54.50 for a reliable laser printer I thought great and ... ...minor problem, Now and then the paper gets jammed, This has happened with every printer I have ever used at sometime though, So I don't really see it as a big deal.
The LBP 2900 produces high quality professional laser prints and it does it quickly and it is the quietest printer I have ever heard. It is extremely easy and simple to use and understand and makes the perfect home office or family use printer. It delivers consistently high quality prints ...
