Newer and Better in Many Ways ,But Noisier!

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: A nice, complete multifunction machine at a reasonable price. A bit bulky and noisy - but it does it all!
Review: 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...

Solid All In One for Home/Office

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: Very good unit and a great value.
Review: Purchased this unit to replace a Brother 4750 fax/copier/printer and an HP Deskjet 895CSE. Spent a lot of time looking at reviews and found that even equipment that was highly rated by professional reviewers often had negative reviews from...

The greatest thing since sliced bread!

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: Run out and buy 2. Someday they'll stop making them and you'll want to have a back up for years later when you wear the first one out!
Review: 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...

Great all-in-one printer

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Almost perfect printer for the home office or student. All I could ask for would be network capabilities, which can be remedied.
Review: After my Epson CX5400 decided to die on me from a manufacturing defect that they won't own up to (google "Epson CX5400 prints blank pages"), I began my search for a new printer. After much debate, I decided to stay with an inkjet printer for...

The MP530 works adequately, but demands sacrifices in the form of ink cartridges.

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: No one can afford to keep this printer fed. I want to give it away for free, but I can't because I would feel too guilty.
Review: I bought this device to replace a Brother HL-1040, for two reasons: I was buying a home and I knew I would be doing a lot of scanning and faxing, and I wanted to be able to do occasional colour printing of photos and other documents such as maps...

Nice printer, bad cartridges

Date of Review:  May 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Unless Canon re-engineers the chipset on the ink cartridges so that they are reliable, avoid this AIO. If the cart problem were fixed, it would be a great little unit.
Review: 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...

HUGE DESIGN FLAW: READ BEFORE BUYING

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not recommended: a small color ink problem makes the machine useless for scanning, faxing, black&white printing
Review: I was happy with my machine until a small problem revealed a catastrophic design flaw. Had I known, I would never have bought it. Please consider this before buying! Canon should be embarrassed about putting out a product with this flaw.

Very good printer but for one big issue.

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2007
The Bottom Line: Do not buy unless you have a lot to spend during normal no color usage.
Review: This is a good printer, especially the duplex printing function. That function is great, save paper, can do lots of good stuff with it.

However! Ink usage destroys all the good. Why? Have no idea why the engineers decided to do it this way...

flexible printer

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this printer because it has several functions that are very easy to use.
Review: I got this printer for gift and now own it about four months and have used it for copying, printing, and scanning. I have not used it to print pictures yet.

It was easy to install although it took about 10 minutes. I mainly use it for...

VERY Nice!

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again. It's the best all-around I could find under $500
Review: 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...
