    I bought this in the US and found it to work as advertised. Then I moved to Australia. It worked fine, except when I ran out of ink. Turns out, there is no place to get ink for the MP990, but the device is not very good at... Read more

    This printer makes amazing photos and is good for the office too. Just one problem: extreme ink usage. The people at Cannon should have made it so you can turn the ridiculous auto print head clean off. Read more

    I have always had HP printers, but did not like last one I got. So I looked at very many. Glad I got this Canon. For about $175 it is great. Read more

  • Canon MP990 Noisy?

    Hi folks, I have just installed this multifunction printer (having replaced a Canon MP800) and the printer makes quite a lot of tapping noises which I would consider to be quite loud, during set up and each time it is turned on. Is this normal?

  • Is this Printer Capable with both a Mac & PC?

    I am an end user and don't want to mess with a high maintenance printer. I have both a PC (pre-Windows 7) and a Macbook Pro laptop). Can I use this printer to print from both computers?
