Very excellent low price printer and scanner, August 23, 2011

I wanted to get a replacement for my ancient List CanoScan scanner that was not compatible with Dialogue box 7. I walked into Wal-Mart, and it was selling for , and I got a “free” printer with it. It’s steal at this price. Amazon should match this price.

The printer prints out very crisp and clear printouts. IT didn’t require It can print photos as well. I recommend you print from the included software for the best color matching, and use photo document. You do NOT need a modest LCD screen on a printer, if you are just going to print from a computer anyway.

Since I got this for the scanner feature, the printer feature wasn’t too vital. It scans very at excellent resolution, and practically quick. It’s a low-end scanner, so don’t expect it to scan film negatives, but at I cannot complain. The scanner software was comprehensive, I did not find it very intuitive.

If you must get more bells and whistles like a memory card reader, a puny LCD, and wifi, get the higher end develop like the List PIXMA MG6120. But don’t spend more than 0 for a new printer, these inkjet printers aren’t really lasting overall from my encounter with printers, and new technology wall always come out shortly. Plus, these are point only occasional printing, and the quality will not match real photos printed on photo document from a lab. Inkjet printer printouts will fade and discolor with time, and they are not waterproof

Excellent printer but LOUD, August 12, 2011

I got this printer after my other List printer broke. I had used that one for 3 years and it was a fantastic printer and scanner. Very efficient and dependable. Suddenly one day that List printer died lacking any explanation which really upset me. Therefore looking for an alternative and researching on amazon, I wanted a printer/scanner that wasn’t too pricey. I don’t print massive amounts but mainly receipts, articles, etc. Rarely do I print a photo.

This printer prints better than my ancient List. The quality of the color printer is spectacular. Simple to set up and use. The direction booklet was very helpful. Choose with the other reviews- does not come with a cord to link up to your computer so that is irritating but I used my ancient List printer’s cord. My one protest which is why this doesn’t get 5 stars is the printer is LOUD. Much much louder than my ancient printer. Its sounds nearly like an ancient school printer printing. Other than that- am pleased with my buy for the price
