I am officially unhappy with this printer.

byvalerieeden Jan 24, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It does it's job well at first.
Cons Malfunctions, which prevents usage all together.
Recommended it? No

I was pretty happy with this machine until I began getting errors messages saying I had two magentas installed or it did not recognize the magenta that I'd put in.

At first I was able to circumvent this by removing and replacing the cartridge, but that no longer remedies the situation. I... Read full review »

Cons None I can find
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned this MP500 for about a year and a half now and have nothing but good things to say. Was easy to set up and everything is easy to use...and I am pretty much an amateur. Read full review »

Broke after 4 months of light use

byhaasefamily Jul 20, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Outstanding picture quality
Cons Very unreliable Known for suffering catastrophic error, "Service Error 5100"
Recommended it? No

After studying various ink jet printers on PC Magazine Dot Com, I settled on the Canon MP500. Generally, I used the printer for light documents and, after two months, decided to print off some 4x6 pictures. After replacing the ink cartridges, I booted up the printer. I now get a fatal service error... Read full review »

Pros It's quiet and relatively cheap. Easy set-up
Cons Prints black streaks on back of paper. Prints dark
Recommended it? No

I bought this all in one printer about a year ago and unfortunately, I'm already having problems. It is starting to print 1/4" black streak on the back of the paper. I called Canon's tech support and they tried to trouble shoot with me, but they quickly gave up and told me to call someone in my... Read full review »

Worked great while under warranty

byradioextra May 23, 2007

Pros Clean print and the copy function is convenient.
Cons Black ink cartridge drips and there is no way to clean the mess.
Recommended it? No

This was my first venture into all-in-one printers. I needed a printer with the print, scan, copy function and purchased the MP500 18 months ago based on reviews at the time. Printing color photos used a lot of ink. I found it easier and cheaper to get my photos printed elsewhere.

Ink Cartridge Issues

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great Print Quality
Cons False error messages that thwart the printing process
Recommended it? No

I've used this printer for approximately six months, and, from the beginning, have a had a consistent error message upon each time I've turned it on. It says that "More than one of the following cartridges is installed: Magenta." Though, usually after lifting the cover up, taking the cartridge out,... Read full review »

Pros very nice print. photos are pretty good, but not the best!
Cons flimsy paper trays. back ink is a smaller cartridge and gets used up faster
Recommended it? Yes

Nice looking body.A little bit on the big side though. I tried 2 different printers before this one, and kept this because the print came out the best! The HP I got before this only got the text as dark as medium gray print. Thats because of the dura brite technology! Anyways- this one is a keeper... Read full review »

Pros Excellent color prints, easy set up
Cons Costly, very selective ink cartridge system. Staples OEM cartridge did not work, lost the...
Recommended it? No

I have owned this printer for 4 months. The ONLY Problem has been obtaining ink cart. that will run. Each ink cart. has a chip that insures you must purchase an OEM item at high prices. I purchased what appeared to be the exact, OEM cart at Stapels, they would not run, the printer rejected the... Read full review »

Don't Bother

Pros Fairly good print for a low-end. Easy setup.
Cons Ink tanks expensive, short supply, printer is a bit slow at start
Recommended it? No

The MP500 is no longer on the shelf. It's probably just as well. I believe the MP530 is the replacement, but it takes different ink tanks. I've been to several stores for CLI 8 tanks: Office Max does not carry, Office Max is sold out, Best Buy carries a limited supply but is out of 8M, CompUSA says... Read full review »
