Advantages: Nice performance, easy to operate, and allows refilling Disadvantages: The price of original cartridges are expensive.
...impressed very much on my Canon BJC-2100SP, a 720 x 360 dpi color bubble jet printer. I have been using it for about 3 years! It is really a nice printer with a good endurance with no maintenance cost at all! Some of you must have known that I am a programmer (software developer); most of my time is spent in front of my personal computer (PC) - and sometimes I work till down. I do my projects, and in certain circumstances I have to print the lists ... ...an application. When I have finished a project, certainly I have to print an operational manuals or guide for my end-users. To improve my skill or knowledge on programming, I also print some materials from ebooks which consists of texts and colorful graphical illustrations (I prefer reading printed materials to reading the materials on my PC). Based on this fact, I think you could imagine how busy my printer is! It is really a hard-working one.

Advantages: Dependable, cheap to buy and cheap cartridges Disadvantages: Have to unplug it to turn it off, doesnt print very fast
This printer is one of the cheapest to buy, I believe I paid about £50 for it and I definetly got my moneys worth. To be honest the only reason I chose this printer is beacuse the ink cartridges were cheap. The official cartridges cost £6 for a black cartridge and £18 for a colour one, but you can buy cheaper versions, I paid just £3 for my last black and white one.

Advantages: print cartridges are cheap,light weight printer Disadvantages: paper feeder is not ideal
...the print drivers from the canon website which means the printer runs better. It was great to see an update for an existing printer. On the downside the print quality for images is not the best on the market. It does print photos well if you tailor the settings but if you are looking for a printer to do more images than text this is not the ideal printer for you. You also need to take care with the paper feeder as the paper can easily slip,creating ... ...just annoying!
In answer to a question from another ciao member..This printer does take photo paper. Its simply a question of changing the settings. I've also used it to print transparencies for ohp(over head projectors) and it has no problems. Ive never worked out how to do envelopes on it though. Due to the occasional paper slippage problem, mentioned above, it might be more hassle than it is worth trying to print addresses on envelopes. ...
