 Perfect Multi Function Printer October 5, 2009

I just bought this printer and I LOVE it. It's the perfect all in one printer for home/ small office use. I am a student and wanted an all in one so i could print, copy and scan documents without the stress of using the school's facilities every time. This printer is exactly what I needed. The print quality is superb. Even photos printed with this printer come out looking just as good as lab quality photos. The colours are vibrant and rich and borderless printing is excellent. Photocopying and scanning quality is really good too. However, printing speed is not the fastest but it doesn't detract from the beauty of this machine. The printer itself has a small footprint and I love the way everything folds into one compact design and eliminates dust getting trapped inside the printer. Overall, this is a great printer for the price. Note that a usb cord is not included in the package.
This is a very nice printer! September 3, 2009

I bought this printer without reading a single review or even looking it up. I walked into Target and read the box and purchased it. I usually read the reviews and wait for people to explain what's wrong with something before I buy it so this was totally unlike me. I was very pleasantly surprised! I love this! I've owned a big Pixma Pro 9000 for a while now but I refused to give up my little HP all in one that I've loved for years but it crapped out and I decided to try the Canon all in one since I loved the pro9000 so much. After trying this thing out, HP lost a customer. I'd always loved their printers but the software never worked right. Not only is the Canon printer better but the software didn't jam my computer. (Yes I tried the HP software on a Dell, and HP, and an E-Machines computer, it's crap!) I did purchase a separate scanner to scan slides since I bought the printer so I gave to to my mom and am looking for just a photo printer now but I'm looking into Canon. My mom is loving this printer too, and she's not easy to please when it comes to printers. All in all, if you want an all-in-one, this one is worth a shot!!
Love it. October 12, 2009

This is a perfect replacement for our small printer which wore out. Considering how many tasks it performs, the small size is surprising. We have been using it for a couple weeks and are very happy with it. We have not used the fax and probably won't.
Great little printer December 13, 2009

I just recently purchased this Canon MP490 when it was on sale for 40.00. What a great deal !!!
Yes, its a little noisy but it prints fast with good color, makes clear copies, scan feature is very nice. I have not tried printing photos yet.
It does not come with the USB cable you will need to connect to your computer, but then again, I dont know of any printers that do come with the cable.
Set up was very easy, took about 20 minutes. And you could probably skip all that set up and just install the drivers if you wanted. But I wanted to check out the bells and whistles that comes with complete set up.
I was deciding between this and the HP F4480, but the sale price on the Canon sold me. Its also a very nice looking printer and easy to use. Overall I am very pleased with my new printer and feel confident recommending it to others.
So far a happy camper....... January 8, 2010

I bought this printer on Dec. 24th thru Amazon via [...] the actual seller. The list price was $[...] + CA tax ($3.50) so I jumped on it after already returning an Epson Stylus NX415 back to my local Staples (their sale price of $69.99) the day before because it just wouldn't print in color for whatever reason but otherwise every other function worked great. And this was after researching many printer brands and models and reading reviews etc...for days. I could careless about having the fax and wireless aspect so this Canon MP490 seemed that it should do the job for me similar to the Epson printer I returned. Note, I already had the USB cable from my old tired Epson printer that was hard to get ink cartridges because of its old model age.
Anyway, after putting this Canon printer in the cart I later checked out the [...] website out of curiosity and they were temporarily out of stock. Jeez, now what are my options and how long to get this all-in-one-printer if it is not in stock? Also I noticed that Office Depot had it down from $49.99 to $39.99 the day after Xmas for that week until the end of the year. So I e-mailed Amazon with my question and they got back almost immediately telling me they would on pass my e-mail to [...]. I did this on Dec. 26th and the next day [...] responded back and said they would check out the warehouse availability and get back to me. That same day [...] e-mailed me again and said I would get a $10.00 refund because they pride themselves in customer satisfaction hence the refund. Then on the morning of Monday Dec. 28th another e-mailed arrived from both Amazon and Buy saying the printer would ship that day and [...] would respond with another e-mail when it actually was shipped via FedEx. So far this all sounds great but thinking it would probably be delivered in the 3-5 days standard shipping and wondering would it still be the same price or what?
I went and had a Tuesday Dec. 27th morning surf session and when I got home around noon the printer was at my door step to my shock. Set it up in an hour or so and put it thru all the scan, print and copy tests and it works great. I haven't tried a photo yet but I have a feeling that will work out fine too. So basically I got the printer for $33.49 with the $10 refund. Yes it is a little noisy and takes a bit to warm up, but then it spits out copies in my opinion pretty fast. The scan works really good and as good as the $200 scanner only we have at my work. A photo has yet been tried but should take longer I am sure. I only need the scan, print and copy modes for pdfs, word.docs, internet printouts and AutoCAD printouts. Also I think esthetically this printer is very nice looking and doesn't seem to flimsy like some.
I know this is all a bit long winded but the moral of the story is I am always somewhat skeptical and cynical on how the system works but have to say both Amazon.com and [...] came thru with flying colors. Especially [...'. Since I had spent so much time researching and got a lemon Epson I was thinking this ain't going all that well with the time and hassle dealing with electronics which can be a black hole sometimes.
Now I hope I haven't jinxed myself by writing this review and the damn thing craps out on me in the next week or so. But at $33.49.....well Merry Christmas! I feel like I was "Born Under A Good Sign" on this deal and bottom line I was just inquiring about availability and questioning my options. Another note to all the people complaining about ink cartridge prices, all of these printers ink cost are high regardless of printer but some are a bit more reasonable.
Regardless of the great price I got I really think I made the correct decision buying this particular Canon printer for my home needs. Also I have noticed the price on this Canon model after the holidays has really gone back up close to its original retail of $99.99 at most outlets. In closing, yes I am a happy "surfer" and hope this thing works out in the long run. :-))
