Canon Pixma MP970
Reviewer: Steve's Digicams03 December 2007The Canon PIXMA MP970 Photo All-In-One Printer has a modern design and will look great next your computer or in your home office. The device is lightweight at only 26 pounds, but wait - you don't have to carry it around to share it among computers - it has a built-in ethernet port. Controls on the new MP970 are very clearly labeled and all functions can be handled from the control panel on top of the printer. The Easy-Scroll Wheel works like iPod controls and make... Read more

So far so good
Reviewer: J. Hays "Writer Of Horror", Amazon4 weeks ago- Overall 10
I haven't really had much time to run this printer through its paces, but I can tell you that the print quality is superb, and that it makes nearly no noise at all. It has two paper trays one in back, and one inside, to give you many options for paper handling. They have made setting up this printer so easy, that I firmly believe anyone can do it. Overall it seems to be a terrific product. Comment Read more

Canon Pixma MP970 Printer
Hello, I thinking about buying the new Canon Pixma MP970 printer to replace my ageing HP PSC750. I've googled for reviews of the printer, but I can't find any. Can anyone who has this printer give me any recommendations? Any good or bad points about it? Thanks.

Home good photo printer
I did some research and have settled on a Canon Pixma MP970. It's got some extra things I need as well - flat bed and 35 negative scanning PLUS it's networkable. Good inks and cheap too! I have yet to buy it - plan on that this weekend. If anyone has a suggestion I'll be watching this thread as well.

Turning slides into digital images?
...me early examples, hints, tips etc here: http://www.pbase.com/isolaverde/slidecopy Recently our old HP printer/copier/scanner began to object to the years of cigarette smoke and atmospheric filth deposited on its internal mirrors and I replaced it with a Canon Pixma MP970 after reading the enthusiastic review on the Steve's Digicams site. This is also a multifunction, with a seven ink system so it can handle both day-to-day and photo printing and a much higher scanning resolution (4800 dpi optical) that seems to work well wi...
