 Printer Prints Perfect Pics... December 26, 2007

I've bought many items from Amazon and have never rated them--whether good or bad. But, I'm making an exception for this printer.
This printer was an X-mas gift from me to me and I have absolutely no complaints about this printer and all--and I'm a picky individual mind you.
It's easy to install, document quality is excellent and the pictures are amazing. I recently got married and with the exception of about 2 'special' prints that I had done at the local Kodak store--I have printed all of my wedding pictures on this printer. From 8 x 10's to wallets--you name it, I've printed them & every single picture looks gorgeous. I highly recommend it...
Canon MP 610 is great October 17, 2007

Canon is a great company to deal with and their products are outstanding. Bought the MP 610 from Amazon but it was not copying or scanning correctly. Called Canon and after trying a few things over the phone they concluded that it was a faulty scanner and sent me a warranty replacement MP 610 with a prepaid UPS to return faulty unit if I was satisfied problem was corrected. New unit works great and the quality of the color prints is outstanding, copy mode make great and fast copies and the scanning is adequate for my use. If you really want great scans I think you need to spend more money.
 Error U150 February 16, 2008

This is the worst printer that I have ever owned. Not only was it almost impossible to get it to install, but now the "U150" error keeps cropping up. Do you know what that error is? Let me tell you a little about U150.
First the error states: U150 The Following Ink Tank Cannot Be recognized. and then the little screen indicates the offending color (currently Magenta on my printer)
note that this does not mean that the ink is out, or that the ink is low. It means that the stupid printer cannot see/identify/recognize its own stupid ink cartridge. Now, keep in mind that I'm not talking about some knock off ink bucket sold by some fly by night organization...this is a Canon ink cartridge that came with the printer. The first thing that happened was a "empty cartridge" indication with the yellow, so sight unseen, I went and purchaced a new canon brand yellow cartridge and was shocked when I went to replace it and found that the first one was darn near full. Did't need to be replaced at all. I replaced it anyway and that was when I started getting the U150 errors.
Here is the clincher....the whole darned machine is non-functional when you get this error. You can't scan...you can't print black and white....nothing. WHY can you not scan if a printer cartridge is bad???? The two actions have nothing to do with each other.
U150 The Following Ink Tank Cannot Be recognized.
I pulled the brand new yellow capsule out and put it back in and was able to print a page before...
U150 The Following Ink Tank Cannot Be recognized.
pulled it out and put it back in and ....nothing.
U150 The Following Ink Tank Cannot Be recognized.
Pulled it out and turned the machine off and then on....was able to print on page before...
U150 The Following Ink Tank Cannot Be recognized.
Replaced the cartridge again and the error went a way. This time I was able to print 5 pages over two days without problems. Then it happened with the Cyan.
Augh. what a worthless piece of crap. I ask you; what kind of engineer designs a machine like this where if you have a empty printer cartridge...you can't use the scanner?
Save your money on this one folks. It is a lemon. Formally loyal Canon buyer (three cameras, one digital camera, one digital video camera, three printers, two scanners)
Excellent all-in-one printer November 2, 2007

After having gone through several HP all-in-one inkjets over the last few years, and much frustration. I tried the latest Canon. I paid a little more, and I was not comfortable to pay more for another HP. What an awesome machine the MP610 is. Excellent print quality, smooth printing mechanism, top-notch fit and finish, underneath drawer paper tray is a great touch, duplex printing executes without skipped pages or mishandling paper. I think the way they designed the underneath paper tray has a lot to do with how consistently the pages come out one at a time and precisely aligned. This is a well thought out inkjet design, and should be worth your consideration. I'm much happier!
 Good Value! January 7, 2008

A good printer for the price. Easy start up instructions. Fast and quiet printing. I like the individual inks--makes it economical. Printer is bulky and odd shaped. The back tray would make it impossible to push it against a wall. Right now, mine is on a rolling cart. That seems to work for me. It seems I went through the black ink rather quickly, but I do print a lot and I haven't kept track of how many sheets I've printed. It took a while to figure out how to do special printing (something other than straight text) but I finally got the hang of it. Two minor kinks: it doesn't shut off when I shut down my computer (my last printer did) and every minute or so the rollers start turning on their own (it gets kind of annoying).
