Summary: I'm disappointed with the reliability of the MX870. After less than a year of very moderate use, I get an error often when I print. It's a cartridge read error.
Summary: I've had this printer for almost three years and I have loved it for most of that time. About 1.5 years ago it started to not print black every once in a while.
Summary: My printing problems began two months after warranty expiration. I tried every troubleshoot I could find, three times. What a beautiful machine.
Summary: I purchased this MP 780 Printer in May 2006. 6 Months later the problem began. The only color that the printer was able to print was basically black.
Conclusion: We purchased the Canon PIXMA MP 780 last year and have been fairly happy with it. However, we just ran out of two of the ink colours even though we hardly ever print in...
Pros: Prints well, copies fine, scans ok
Cons: Cannot print a colour document in black & white without using colour ink.
