Pixma iP 1800 Delivers [Posted on 2008-05-14]
I replaced my Canon Pixma 6000D (with six expensive ink jets)with this nice utility printer. The quality of the photos with the iP1800 are high quality enough for family snapshots. And, I like the separate color and black cartridge so I can save on ink by just printing basic documents in "grayscale." My son says the Canon cartridges are cheaper than HP. Big negative: No tray to catch the paper when it prints out. The printer just "spits" out the pages, which makes it almost impossible to keep large documents in the correct page order unless you babysit the printer.
Good at the right price [Posted on 2008-06-10]
This is a decent printer. It is possible to get it unbelievably cheap if you look around for refurbed ones.
The picture quality is absolutely acceptable, and I didn't find it too noisy. It's a little slow (about 1 minute per 4x6 in high quality mode) but for the price, what can one expect?
It does use a lot of ink, so I'll have to see what the final print costs end up being - but Canon has the cheapest 4x6 glossy photopaper I could find (unless you find some noname brand) - and they are among the most reasonable on ink cartridges as well.
I think regardless of printer, it is probably better to print most your pictures at a store these days, but for emergencies and maybe large size prints as well, this printer does the trick.

very good pictures and fast printing but could use a paper tray when printing more than one or two sheets.
Great printer! [Posted on 2008-07-11]
After a horrible experience trying to buy a printer on eBay, in desperation to get a printer I went to Office Depot, where the clerk recommended this printer. He said, "Don't be fooled by the price, it has won awards." I bought it (would have bought it on Amazon, but I had already wasted a week on the printer that only worked on PCs), took it home and hooked it up to my Mac without problems, and immediately ran off 218 pages with the little ink cartridge that came with it. I truly believe that the less tasks a machine performs, the better it does the job you buy it for. This printer just prints, it doesn't scan, it doesn't fax. It works on both PCs AND Macs. And it does it beautifully and inexpensively.
Ok for a disposable printer [Posted on 2008-07-25]
The printed output is not really all that good. But it works for me. Have had it for 6 months or so but only print a couple of pages a month. When the ink goes out I will buy another printer as the ink refill costs are just too much.
