Canon PIXMA MP500

Pros: All-In-One, inexpensive, dual paper trays, multiple memory slots, speed, low priced ink.

Cons: Some cheap components may break easily, no auto power on/off mode.

The Bottom Line: The bottom line is if you are looking for a printer with good quality, speed, inexpensive to buy and own then the MP500 is perfect.

Review: I am sitting here typing this review on my Dell keyboard, staring at my Dell monitor, using Microsoft Word from Dell. But not this review nor any other Epinions’ reviews will ever print again from the free Dell printer. After spending upwards of $40 a ...

Pros: Good quality with low-cost inks. Quiet. Photo-printing features.

Cons: Will need dusting. No document feeder or fax.

The Bottom Line: You'll save money by spending more up front for a Canon that costs less per page. I recommend this for quality, noise, and price per page.

Review: As anyone who has ever owned an ink jet printer knows, the printers are cheap, and the ink is expensive. My last printer was an Epson CX-5200 which we paid $100 for. During the two years we used it, we spent about $30-50 a month for ink. I estimate that ...

Pros: Great quality, fast, reasonably efficient, versatile.

Cons: Could be more user friendly...

The Bottom Line: If you need or demand quality and want a great photo printer or good all-purpose machine, this one is for you!

Review: You may have read my review of the Hewlett-Packard PSC-1610 all-in-one, in which I have mentioned replacing it with a Canon all-in-one machine. In either case, the printer I am presently using is this: a Canon PIXMA MP500. After having had a few ...

Pros: All-around good quality printing. Ease of use. Price.

Cons: None for me.

The Bottom Line: Great for the money. Good all-around printer.

Review: I have had this printer now for 6 months and I must say I have been thoroughly pleased with it. When replacing an outdated lexmark I wanted a good, fairly priced AIO that could print photos pretty well but I didn't need a professional office ...

Pros: Printer and ink is of exceptional value. Printer drivers and software a breeze to setup.

Cons: The scanner seemed extremely slow in operation.

The Bottom Line: I recommend the MP500 for budget-minded home-users who want photo-quality printing capability in a multi-purpose device.

Review: I did a fair share of research before settling on the MP500. Although I had already made my mind up, a Canon rep at Best Buy closed the deal when demonstrating what was perceived to her as its primary strength in ink cartridge value: the Canon ink ...

Pros: Duplex printing, good color prints, solid.

Cons: Possible minor issues with Mac -> USB -> MP550.

The Bottom Line: IF you are looking for an all-in-one to supplement your laser printer, I'd highly recommend this product.

Review: I purchased this printer yesterday and set it up in about 30 minutes. I was attracted by the appearance, the fact that it does duplex printing, has high quality prints, LCD viewer for photos, ability to read memory chips, uses less ink than competitive ...

Pros: Print quality, cartridge price, cartridge installation, functions, reliability, easy use

Cons: Heavy, 19in. deep x 17.5in. wide x 14in. tall with paper in top feeder

The Bottom Line: It's reliable and the print quality is exactly what you see on screen. Colors are vibrant. Frees up space on your desk by reducing gadgets needed.

Review: I have never owned a printer that lived up to expectations, until the Canon PIXMA MP500. This printer is the easiest to setup and reliable. I can see how someone who isn't careful could break pieces, but, honestly, it's a printer not a football. ...

Pros: Fast printing, great quality, great price with many features

Cons: I really can't think of any

Review: The PIXMA MP500 AIO in my opinion outperforms many other more expensive AIO's. After being HP printer users since the PC was invented and literally dozens of HP printers later, we decided to make a change because the latest HP's we've had have been ...

Pros: Low cost, high quality, quick print, cheap ink over life.

Cons: None I can find

Review: 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. ...

Pros: Great Printer, good quality pictures and easy on the ink.

Cons: No automatic off when you shutdown the computer

Review: After having a Lexmark 1150 that ate ink like it was water, this is a refreshing change. I have had this Canon for about 2 months now, and I just had to change the black ink cartridge after printing 60 two page Christmas letters (2nd page was all ...
