    Easy and quick to set up and install. Love the five color print quality. Have a computer that runs Windows Vista, and our old Lexmark printer never would work with Vista, even with downloaded fixes off of the Internet. This Canon works great. Has great features and capabilities for a reasonable price. Very happy with purchase. Comment Read more

    Canon Pixma MP520 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2178B002) I read the great reviews on this printer and was convinced, this is a winner. I'm a novice in this world of computers, printers, and such, but I'm learning fast. I worried a bit about setting up this printer by myself but it was very easy, just followed the simple directions and it works great, prints and copies quickly. Haven't tried to print photos yet. Looks classy too, just the right size. Read more

    After lots of research for a good quality,reasonable all-in-one, I bought this and it is great. NOTE:I am using OS X Leopard. It's best to download the updated printer driver and scanner driver directly from the Canon website. Don't bother with the CD-Rom as the downloaded drivers have the latest update for Leopard.
