Stay Away

Pros Small and compact with some nice features such as two side copies.
Cons Expensive ink cartridges. Difficult controls, getting a copy is a major ordeal.
Recommended it? No

I bought my MP530 in November 2006 and by April of the next year it conked out on me. Cannon sent a refurbished replacement that didn't work right out of the box. I am now on my third machine, one that Cannon sent to replace the one that didn't work.

The machine seems to use a lot of ink... Read full review »

An OK printer for little money

Pros Good speed, nice printing, sharp text
Cons High ink usage, especially black for text.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this printer to supplement my Lexmark X1150. It has completely replaced the Lexmark and become my main printer. I print church bulletins, photos, etc. and it has been a great printer so far. I would like to see it use less ink as the ink cartridges are pretty expensive for the amount of... Read full review »

Affordable versatility

Pros Dual paper trays, flatbed and document scanner, 4-in-1
Cons No USB cable, annoying OEM-ink feature
Recommended it? Yes

After my Epson CX5200 broke down, I was looking for an affordable multifunction printer. I came across the Epson CX5000 for $40 that was advertised as being able to print 27 pages per minute, but to my disappointment, the speed was nowhere near what I was expecting, not even close to what my 4 year...

Nice printer, bad cartridges

bydennisb100 May 10, 2007
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great specs
Cons Ink cartridges have bad chipsets, causing ALL functions of the unit to fail.
Recommended it? No

This AIO has a lot of nice features, particularly duplex printing. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but problems with the ink carts. Less than a month after purchase, an error message said the cyan cart was bad. And sometimes it said I had two cyan carts installed (huh?) Uninstalling and... Read full review »

Good printing bad machine

byfccjrjr May 3, 2007

Pros Very good color printing and customer service
Cons One of the worst user interfaces imaginable.
Recommended it? No

This was the most difficult to use fax machine I have ever had. There are menus that go too deep and are not intuitive. Even reading the manual I cannot always send or receive a fax.

Customer service is very good. The original yellow ink cartridge was defective and they sent a new one... Read full review »

Newer and Better in Many Ways ,But Noisier!

Pros A lot of machine for the money. Good quality results!
Cons Big and a tad noisy. No USB cable included.
Recommended it? Yes

Recently, the HP T45 Multifunction machine that I had relied on for many (7) years, began to make the death rattles and errors associated with imminent demise. Also, since it hasn't been made for many years, the ink cartridges were becoming a bit of a hassle to find – and, though findable on Ebay,... Read full review »

Pretty nice unit

Pros Compact, efficient, good copies/scans. Great price for what you get.
Cons Need minimum of ~15 sheets blank paper in feeder for it to work.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had the MP530 now for about four months and have used it for copying, printing, and scanning (to create labels for my daughter's CDs). I have not used it to print pics yet.

It was easy to set up to use and it does a fine job at what I'm using it for (see above). Might be nice if it... Read full review »

Pros Great performance for all functions. Fairly quiet. Excellent value and price. Easy to use.
Cons None, really none for me.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my Canon Pixma MP530 for a month and love it! I was ready to give up on finding an all-in-one printer under $500 with great performance in all categories. It's awesome for photos too! Each had it's Achilles Heel(s), but the Pixma MP530 had the most positives and least possible drawbacks. I... Read full review »

Pros Terrific print quality, affordable ink, quiet performance, improved scanning quality.
Cons The ink is a bit pricier than the older Canons, but still affordable.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my second Canon printer in three years, but don't let that scare you. The first one died due to an electrical problem not associated with the machine. I was so happy with the performance of that machine, I knew just what I wanted to replace it with.

What an improvement! I was... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use, affordable cartridges, several special copying functions.
Cons I haven't found any yet!
Recommended it? Yes

This has been the best printer we've ever owned! I REALLY like it.
The duplex printing is very handy, saves on paper. You can also make your own books with the booklet option. Prints quickly, scans quickly, etc. especially for an all-in-one printer (which I find are usually slow). You can... Read full review »
