I've just set this up-- took about an hour, so even computer idiots like me can get it out of the box, on the table, and printing quickly. The set-up info is all on one page and is easy to understand. You get a disc which gets you through the set-up process with the wireless.
The unit itself is the nicest piece of computer/printer/tv/dvd-type electronics I own. It looks like a Porsche Targa Carrera compared to my ratty old Dell laptop. Finally somebody has designed a printer that doesn't have a whole lot of dust-collecting nooks and crannies on top of the unit. The printer is almost completely smooth on top, black, with sexy cobalt blue lighting.
I've printed about 15 pages of pictures so far and they look absolutely great. Some of the photo files are huge but the printing only takes about 30 seconds, 20 of those to upload the image. And this printer is smart, too--I closed the output tray to have a look at the paper supply tray and forgot to put the tray back down. When I printed the next photo (which you do by placing photographic paper in a different feeder) the Canon printer kindly remembered to open the output tray, which quietly hummed into the open position.
I have only printed photos directly from my computer as that is the most convenient for me. I know there are several ways to load the photos directly into the printer, for example there is a tray which allows you to load directly from a DVD. I also stuck my photo card directly into the printer (SD MS is the name of the slot) and was able to scroll through the photos and view them on a screen which also gave the option to print.
The flatbed scanner works great and just as quickly as my much more expensive Brother laser printer. You can print using the Canon software, but I prefer using the Microsoft picture viewer as I am already familiar with it. The canon menu also offers options for creating things like calendars, movies, et cetera.
I will be interested to see how long the ink lasts, as the cartridges seem quite small (but I've been using laser printers for years so haven't seen the average size of an ink cartridge these days). The printer is "Ink Tank Compatible" which I had to look up online to figure out. I can't tell if they are refillable (by me) and can't readily find this information.
I realize that I am a bit of a technological Neanderthal, so more computer-savvy people will probably have experienced some of the features I have mentioned and perhaps not be so impressed. That said, I am absolutely thrilled to be able to print photos without having to haul my laptop into the office and plug in a USB cable.
