 Ugly But Functions Beautifully July 16, 2008
This is my second Canon printer, replacing my Canon S900 printer. The photo printing quality is superb, faster than my prior printer and far quieter. Having two paper inputs makes switching between photo paper and printing paper easy, but you need to remember to select which source you need, because there is no automatic selection. Printer utility function works well. Inserting the print head was a bit awkward, but you can check alignment manually and automatically. Scanner works very nicely. The footprint is pretty large. Interface is easy to use, and printing from memory cards and camera is a dream. I'm hoping that the Pixma MP970 is not the ink hog my earlier Canon printer was, but it's too early to tell that yet. Seven ink tanks will make ink expensive, but the photo quality makes is worth it. Ordered mine through Crutchfield, and they delivered it in two days without shipping costs. One complaint: Needs optional Bluetooth adapter (bummer), and Canon store is out of stock.
 If it wasn't for the ink tanks..... July 12, 2008

I have no issues with the quality of the printing or the scanning or the copying.
I can't rate this product higher than 2 stars based on the fact that the device does not work for any functions if you get an ink tank error. The logic behind this escapes me. Fixing this oversight would do a lot to improve my respect for the device.

The Canon Pixma MP970 was reviewed by a number of the publications to which I subscribe. All-In-One Photoprinter. I purchased it at a good price. It arrived on time from Amazon. It was well packaged. Taking it out of the box and placing it on my desk I found it to be very big and heavy. It has a large footprint. It comes with a flyer with clear and detailed instruction for setting it up and obtaining a test color and print. There is also an manual and a CD with print drivers and a manual to install on a hard drive. After following all of the set-up instructions - the printer did not work. The error message on the LCD was not in the manuals. I called Canon technical support (Friday afternoon at 5 PM). The tech support answered in less than a minute and took me through trouble shooting the problem. The tech support supervisor was consulted and agreed that the MP970 was broken and needed repair. With the nearest Canon repair shop very inconvenient to access, I returned the MP970 for a refund. I purchased the Canon Pixma iP4500 - a photoprinter from Amazon. The reason is clear - Canon manufactures top flight equipment and more important tech support is available - even at inconvenient hours. I decided that I did not need a large footprint all-in-one multifunction printer since my major use is printing photos and text. Finally, I have found that the Pixma iP4500 is a wonderful printer - and very fast.
Best Ink Jet I have had so far June 19, 2008

I love this printer. This printer replaced an HP 1700. I was looking for something that would do decent color photos and was network ready. I don't use this for B/W because it also own a laser.
The prints are beautiful and the network connectivity works like a charm. I have owned it for about 5 months and love it. The features are great for a printer of this price.
Things I really like:
1. Network built in
2. Duplex built in
3. Can copy w/o computer powered up.
4. Built in card reader
5. Ink Cartridges are priced reasonably.
Cons:
Small paper tray
Rather larger
If you are looking for a color ink jet - look no further. Much better than HP products.
Wow...a truly simple setup June 15, 2008
This is by far the simplest printer to set I have ever seen. Considering all the features this is remarkable. Excellent software. My wife went right to work on it without asking me one question...truly intuitive (the printer that is). I haven't tried to network the printer yet, so can't comment there.
The scanning, copying, printing (both photos and text) are just plain beautiful and more than met my highest expectations. Did I mention this baby is fast! If the long term reliability proves good then this printer is a real winner. Let you know in a couple years.
