Love this printer [Posted on 2004-07-10]
Compared this one to various printers in the HP line and I am glad I bought this one! I also have an HP officejet 630 on our other computer, which has worked well. Scanner jams ocassionally, not a flatbed. It was time to buy a flatbed scanner/printer/copier to go with our new Dell 4600 with XP home. The reviews on the HP were toublesome since a lot of people had to contact HP tech for help and were pretty discouraged with the response, software and printer problems out of the box.
The printer and software were very easy to install with no problems, under 10 min. First thing I did was print out some photos on photo paper and they turned out great! It was a snap. Scanner worked well and produced a pretty nice image. The copier was also tested right away and did a great job. Black and white text printed out pretty fast. This one also can print photos directly from your digital camera media. The mp360 can't.
Another great thing about the printer is the ink is very affordable, 6 to $7 retail, cheaper online. A welcome relief compared to my HP, at 26 to $30.
All in all for the price you can't beat it!
Bad scanner, (Very very slow!) Good Printer [Posted on 2004-08-21]
Scans are slow, slow slow slow!! Slow to the point of uselessness, to scan a copy of my Amazon receipt took over 5 minutes, as opposed to my older Epson 1660 which took 4 seconds.The MP370 is USB 1.0 vs the Epson's USB2.0, (why the Mp370 takes so long?) On the plus side the scans are sharp and detailed once they finally arrive, and the prints are nice, though there are only 2 cartridges: a very small Color one and a cheap nice BW, unlike most other newer Canons that feature individual color specific ones. If I could return it, I would. Then I would get a nice Canon printer with individual tanks and a nice Epson scanner separately. As a bonus this solution would work with my OSX Macs, (the MP370 features NO mac drivers, even just for printing.)
Great all around printer at a bargain price [Posted on 2004-11-28]
One of the reviewer must be confused when mentioning that the scan takes five minutes. Very likely, the scan is set an an abnormally high quality/dpi rate, resulting in the the high quality and slow scan times the reviewer experienced.
Personally, I am able to scan documents and photos very quickly and efficiently. I usually leave the documents at around 150dpi, and photos at a much higher rate depending on the job. Also, this printer is very efficient in scanning documents. I can literally make pdf files of my documents in about a minute.
The claims that the ink cartridges are small do have merit, but the price of the ink cartridges are really really cheap and despite their diminuitive size they do last a very long time. Just remember to stock up on a few extra cartridges when buying them.
I have done a lot of research regarding technology and one of my recalled facts was PCmagazine doing a comparison of per page ink printing. When it really came down to it, Canon really was the cheapest to print per page. Although the cost is cheap, I can personally attest that the cheapness of the printing does not result in any sacrifice to quality.
This printer supports very high quality printing and I have printed many photos in conjunction with the Canon Photo paper. They turn out really well. They're not photo lab quality, but they are definitely good quality.
Finally, for the price that Amazon charges for such a fine printer, I'm surprised they still have these in stock. The current price they charge is actually about the same discounted price as department stores charge for Black Friday Specials.
Definitely a great printer at a great price.
Great printer, great scanner, great copier, cheap ink [Posted on 2005-04-02]
This is a marvelous device. I have had it for two days, have been printing/scanning/copying continuously (scanner+faxmodem=fax!), and am enormously happy with it. I can recommend it without qualification.
Printing is reasonably fast, the driver is very intuitive and allows for duplexing, colour/grayscale/b&w. The scanner is very high quality, performing all of colour/grayscale/b&w scanning, and the copying feature is really a gem. When coupled with a faxmodem, one can easily turn this setup into a fax machine, too, which is very handy.
Another benifit of this printer is the very cheap ink cartridges, when compared to other brands. I was able to print over 400 very-dense sides on one black ink cartridge. A non-brand-name replacement is $8 CAN, so is very reasonble and compares well with laser printers in price/page.
Perhaps the only drawbacks of this printer are its size and the occasional noisy bouts in which it immerses itself, but these are easily overlooked for the quality and functionality (not to mention the price!).
Finally a printer I can't kill!!! [Posted on 2005-11-09]
This has been the only printer that I couldn't kill in 6 months time! Normally, I buy a printer, and within the next six months, I'm buying a new one. I couldn't kill this one. I love it. It even has a magnet stuck in it that I dropped, and still works like the day I got it. I even turned it upside down and shook it, and it still works! Fast, cheap ink, good quality. I love it!
