Some clever design features on this excellent printer, not the least of which is the solid-in-repose top that won't break when my cat jumps on it. Easy to set up, when I paid careful attention. Very satisfactory print quality. And the fax is so fast and easy, I actually sent my first fax three times because it went _so_ fast, I thought it hadn't transmitted after all!
I bought the MX870 based on the reviews after spending two hours on customer service chat with HP, pleasant but not useful in fixing my second 4-in-1 to break down on only its second cartridge. Can't believe it took so long to wean me off HP, but glad I finally smartened up.

I was wondering I can set up or not. I am not so good at. But, I did it!. so easy, so useful. I love this printer. No more any cable! It is true, the size of this printer is bigger than others. But I think job quality is more important for me.

All right, perhaps this is not the world's greatest, but it is close to perfection! This met all my needs for printing, scanning and copying like no other printer ever did, all for $129 at Costco. Here are the details that I was impressed by:
1. Scan to PDF or JPG - this is essential nowadays, with so many requests for scanned copies of important documents in PDF format, as well as photos in JPG format.
2. Continuous Form Feed - this works excellently, enabling one to copy or scan a whole set of sheets at the touch of a button.
3. Ease of use - almost everything that needs to be done is intuitive, and there's not a single thing that appears complicated.
The setup took some time, but that was it - everything else is an A++!

This is my third all-in-one since the category was introduced in the 1990's. My previous two were both HP. With the purchase of this Canon machine I was replacing an HP C6180 which was 3 years old. The HP machines I've had were both slow and very noisy and the scanning software was buggy. So I was generally dissatisfied with the HP equipment, but the issue that brought about the replacement was a clogged print head. After several support calls with HP, I finally got to a technician who knew enough to conclude the print head was clogged and needed replacement. When I asked for a referral to a repair facility, or the number for an HP repair depot, I was told "These machines are not designed to be repaired, they are designed to be replaced and recycled." I asked to speak to a manager, and when he called back a day later I was told the same thing. So I called the office of the CEO of HP in California, and was referred to another organization who said the same thing. Then I called a local independent printer repair shop and was told "the print heads in the HP all-in-ones are not replaceable, and that I should consider buying a new machine. For want of a $0.10 print head, the entire device had to be scrapped. Now Eco-friendly is that ?!?!?!?
Since I was generally dissatisfied with the HP all-in-one's I had owned I decided to temper my brand bias and research the field and make an informed decision based on other user reviews. This lead me to Epson and Canon. The newer HP equivalent replacement model I tried at an Office Depot and it was as slow and noisy as my previous two HP machines. While there, I looked at the Epson models, and while I liked their photo printing capability, I was more interested in low-duty-cycle printing and not having to scrap the machine when the ink dried out when I was traveling. The Epson machine does not have a replaceable print head, and I had read a review here on Amazon that the Canon machine did have a replaceable print head. So sight unseen, I ordered the Canon.
The reviews are correct when they give high praise to the Canon Pixma line. I have been delighted with the performance and it's significantly less noisy than all the others. What really has impressed me is the scanning with the automatic document feeder - it's flawless. The HP could never scan more than 3 pages with the ADF without the software crashing or the wireless connection faltering and creating errors. With the Canon, it has worked like a dream and in less than an hour I've scanned in twenty years of income tax returns - something that would have taken a day to accomplish with the HP.
Setup was easy and the wireless connection worked from the first try. I've used the machine now to fax, scan, copy and print and I'm very satisfied. During installation I discovered that the print head is indeed separate - you have to install it as part of the ink cartridge installation, and it's offered as a spare part that the user can easily replace. Printing is about twice the speed as the HP machine I tried in the store that's in the same price bracket.
I have not tried using this printer for photo finishing. I have a high end Epson I use for that which handles 11x17 inch media. My guess is the Epson is better for photos because it has more ink colors and they are generally known as the photo printing leader. But the ink cartridges are more expensive to replace since there are more colors involved.
I would also comment that the software for the Canon machine comes with the device and needs installation. I'm using a Mac and support for the Epson and HP machines is part of Snow Leopard operating system. But the software installation was easy and the Apple OS discovered that there was an update for it and downloaded it and installed it automatically without a hitch. The only thing I would like to see added or improved would be an ability to fax directly from the computer (HP supports this, Epson and Canon don't). But this is a minor issue compared with having a machine that in all daily use categories exceeded my expectations by a large margin. It's still is astounding to me that such a useful and functional piece of equipment as this is under $200. After this experience, my brand preference for inkjet office printers/scanners is now Canon.

I had a Cannon Printer for the last several years, My wife took it over for her pre-school projects. I tried a cheap printer B's, terrible. So I went back to tried and true Cannon and it is even better than the previous one. The pictures were so good, the print is very clear. You can't go wrong.
