Decent cheap printer
Review of Canon i 320 by
random76
Advantages: Cheap, good quality
Disadvantages: Quite noisy
I spent a fair amount of time researching printers before I bought this one just over a year ago and I am very satisfied with it.
Mostly I use it for text only but I have printed out a short book of pictures with it (as a present) and it was good quality. I’m sure there are better printers, but they are far more expensive. The i320 is a good quality cheap printer. The ink cartridges are fairly cheap too, which is a bonus. I have been using Canon-compatible ... ...yet) without any trouble. It’s not a particularly quiet printer, but neither is it the noisiest I’ve heard. If it’s in your bedroom I wouldn’t leave it printing while you’re in bed, but apart from that it’s not too loud. My only real complaint is that it doesn't come with any kind of tray to catch the printed pages. Apart from that I'd recommend it without hesitation. ...

Suberb photo prints
Review of Canon S 330 Photo by
newb00ts
Advantages: Excellent print quality
Disadvantages: slightly flimsy
I had been relying on an old black and white printer for far too long. My girlfriend spotted this one and bought it and after hearing good things from her I purchased it from PC World for £69.99.
----Style----
I actually think the printer is quite good looking. It has a smoked perspex front which opens outwards to allow access to the two ink cartridges and the printer head and the paper adjustment lever. Unfortunately it still follows the rather ... ...all its not bad looking and perhaps most importantly it looks and feels solid and well built. Only two buttons are on the printer itself these are the power and cancel button situated on the top just behind the smoked perspex cover. The only problems with the design are the output and input tray which are particulary flimsy and make the printer rather larger once attached. Due to the limited space I have for this printer I don't bother with the output ...

Would definately buy again
Review of Canon LBP 1120 by
C.Laslett
Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and install
Disadvantages: Doesn't seem to warn you when toner is low
...find the disk. Support from Canon (telephone) was excellent and the software can be downloaded online.
There is no LCD screen but most functions can be dealt with through the pc-based monitor. I don't seem to have figured out a way of knowing when the toner is low though so make sure you have a spare on hand. I didn't and had to spend 3 days waiting for the mail-order toner to arrive! My local PCWorld doesn't stock the toner for this but it was ... ...all stock it). Prices range from £30-£50 a time so shop around. Each cartridge supposedly does around 4000 pages.
When you switch the printer on, it doesn't take long (just a few secs) before it starts printing. A lovely funky blue light on the front lets you know it's switched on. The operation is plenty fast enough for me (10ppm) and it is reasonably quiet. The paper holder holds a reasonable amount of paper (at least 100 pgs) and you can choose ...

All I know about S520
Review of Canon S 520 by
alcap0ne
Advantages: Seperated colour ink tanks
Disadvantages: Large Size
This printer is good, I use this printer to print my photos on photo papers. The quality of the colour is fairly good. One good thing about this printer is that the colour inks are seperated eg, a seperate tank for blue, yellor and red by having seperated ink tanks, if next time it ran out of blue colour ink colour, all we need to do is just replace blue colour ink, rather than replace all (in some printers, three different colour inks are combined ... ...cheap, i think this is one of the advantages for most of the canan printers. Although this printer is an old model, but i still recommend people to buy, because i have been using this printer since one and a half year ago, until now it never breakdown (which is good) and the colour quality is still good. =) ...
