CompUSA -- terrible customer service.

My issue is not with this product, but with Comp USA, the vendor of this product. I ordered the Canon PIXMA MP270 Inkjet Printer from Amazon.com. 2 days later, I was informed that the product was backordered. 2 business days (4 days) after that, Amazon...

Satisfied

The price is right. I wanted a decent all in one printer for light use and this item meets my needs all the way around ; I'm happy with the purchase ; It's a nice compact size and the system software seems user friendly and works well

The only negative I come up with at this point is that it is a noisy machine. It goes through a lot of noisy resetting during start up and after finishing a print job etc. .... If that is at all a concern for your needs, then don't buy this printer

Ok Printer in a pinch

Works fine, but the ink doesn't last too long, have had mine just a couple of weeks and have printed less than 200 pages and my black ink is low already!

Overall good printer

Just really wishing this had the same power saving capabilities of the cheap canon

prints good pictures. good document print speed. Overall a good printer for the price

my el cheapo canon had the ability to turn itself on when you sent something to the printer and turn off after a set amount of time. Kind of makes me wonder why this one doesn't. It's a great feature for a networked printer

This canon is a good buy

This printer is a great value. I am a longtime fan of canon copiers. I haven't had a problem with it in the 6 months that I have owned it. The prints and scans are a good quality. The ink is easy to find and affordable to buy. I have heard that like...

Beware

For the price of this thing, it delivers what you would expect. My complaint is not with the quality of the prints, they are good for documents, although falls short of great for photographs. Although at this price point few would expect stellar photo...

Very satisfied with the printer with low price

Although this is photo all-in-one printer, I use it for just daily uses and not yet checked on printing pictures. Some sample printing papers were included with inks - one color and one black, but I just used regular letter size paper to print. It has...
