 Ink Catridge Problem December 5, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
When you read this, please keep in mind all of the other reveiws. I bought my printer this past October. This is a great printer. I'm glad I got it. I'll keep it for a long time because it does what I need. I print 4x6 photos in standard mode and they look very good. The printer used little ink compared to the old Canon i850 I had. I can print documents on both sides and save paper.
I've printed prints and documents with no problems unitl this week. I had a problem with the yellow ink cartridge. I got an error message and the "15 flashes" error code. That means the printer could not read the cartridge's chip and if it can't read the chip, the printer will not print anything.
I reseated the catridge several times with no luck. I installed a new cartridge and it worked fine. The old cartridge is still 3/4 full of ink.
I'm mad. I send an email to Canon support explaining what's happening to my printer. Within hours, Canon sends me an email apologizing for the problem and tells me a new yellow cartridge is on the way; UPS 2-day Air. And if this doesn't fix the problem, the printer is covered under an "Instant Exchange" warranty. I can't be mad anymore. Problem solved. It still calls for 5 stars.
An excellent printer December 3, 2007

A previous reviewer has covered most of my impressions about this printer, so I will only highlight the main ones. Overall, this is an excellent printer. It is a little large, when all the trays are fully extended (h=13.5", depth = 21', width 17.5"), which could be a problem for users with limited space. However, one does not need to use both trays (at least not at all times), so it is possible to reconfigure it so that it can fit better into limited space. Having two trays is handy, since it makes it easier to switch between paper of difference sizes or qualities.
Setting up the printer is fairly straightforward, though somewhat time-consuming, in part because it spends about 12 minutes calibrating itself as part of the setup. The instructions are ok, but the accompanying informational book is only fair. Some aspects of the printer use are not addressed, so one has to make educated guesses to have the printer do certain things. Once operational, the printer is fast, capable of two-sided output, and produces high quality printing. Text on plain paper is very good, though on close inspection one can see a little bleeding of the ink. It's about as good as any nonlaser text I've seen, be it HP, Canon, or Epson. Photographs are spectacular, with brilliant colors, and very high resolution. Overall, this is an excellent choice if you are looking for a good general purpose printer, capable of producing fine text and photographs at high speed.
 For the money... great. November 24, 2007

Bottom line: for what it costs now, great product. Dependable fast prints, simple profile and easy to use. Great buy.
Canon Pixma iP- 4500 a winner November 17, 2007

Great product-for the money, this is one of the best printers available.
The only problems found: (1) Ink too expensive
(2) Uses too much ink
(3) No excellent generic product available- Canon saw to this by reprogramming their chip
Good printer for the price November 15, 2007

After much deliberating between brands and features, I decided to go with a medium priced printer for my general purpose printing and some photo printing.
When the printer arrived I was a little surprised too at how big the box was but the printer still fits nicely on a standard stand.
Setup is a snap. Install the Printer Head, he Cartridges, install the driver and plug it in. That's it. I am happy to see that Canon provides 64bit drivers for most of their printers now so it was not problem on my Vista 64 bit machine.
The driver naturally automatically installs selections for most Canon papers and printing a Borderless 4x6 using the Canon 4x6 Glossy Plus Paper resulted in pretty good colors in comparison to my calibrated monitor. I do not recommend to have the driver manage colors, let the Software do it (like Photoshop) it's just doing a better job at it.
Overall, I think it's a great value and a good and fairly fast printer.
The added bonus of having 2 trays (I use the cassette for plain paper) saves me time in switching paper around.
