I wish I had time to put up a video review: the video I shot of the 2nd installation / startup attempt would "say it all." I got the first new Canon MP 990 last week. I carefully unpacked and set the printer on a good surface for set up. I followed the simple-looking directions with plenty of time set aside for this task.
Problem: Canon ships this printer with the print head separate - expecting anyone (about whom they know nothing) to finish assembling the printer for them. Following the diagram (one panel easily read & understood), I inserted the print head oriented per the illustration: the print head went partially into place in the print head carrier and STUCK without seating to the bottom of the carrier. This means that the print head remains too high to install the ink cartridges. And - when you turn off power, the carrier attempts to return to the "home position" - jamming against the side of the cover under which it is supposed to be positioned. - The the print head lock lever cannot be lowered to permit this action to complete.
Called Canon Support and we spent 20 minutes trying all suggestions (to either seat the head completely or extract it for another try). The print head wouldn't budge. Finally, I was told to FORCE the lock lever down so that the printer top could be closed and readied for return. I was told: We will send a refurbished MP 990 with the print head installed. (Which they should have done with all these printers in the first place.)
The replacement printer arrived yesterday (6/02/2010). I waited until I had ample time in the evening and: proceeded exactly as I did the first time with set up. When I opened the front tray: I immediately saw the print head in its sealed package, just like the original new printer! Canon seems not to understand the term, " factory installed."
So naturally: I again attempted to do this print head installation and again it jammed and cannot be moved. I now have TWO useless Canon Pixma PM 990 printers sitting here taking up space. I will have to pack both up and find a way to return them - I'm not set up as a "shipping department."
I did a lot of searching before buying this printer. I got 'fooled' because I thought Canon might be as good a making printers as they are at making cameras. This is evidently not true. I am angry and very disappointed.

The first printer that arrived had a major problem that could not be fixed. Support had us box it up and return it for a second unit. Next one that came (and quite fast) was just fine. Convenient support for setup that would work with MAC OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard, had not been accomplished yet so the setup was a nightmare. I believe that has now been completed and the setup would just be installing the one file instead of the various that we had to do.
That said, the printer returns beautiful photographs and works just great.

I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8 version and was very excited to get a wireless all-in-one Canon printer. Since I used to have many generations of HP printers, this time I wanted to give a different brand a try. After a relatively easy wi-fi connection setup to the printer, I have used it for a few weeks to find out that the connection is very spotty. Event though the printing speed is great and the process is very quiet, every other time or so I get no connection no matter what I do to revive it. The worst part is that a scanner didn't connect at all! After installing all updates and fixes from the Canon web site, spending hours with a surprisingly accommodating and supportive Canon tech support, and finally switching to the wired connection, the scanner still refused to connect. I had to return the product, and now I doubt I will ever buy a Canon printer again.

The MP990 is a fantastic all-in-one. I love the copy features and beautiful photo quality prints. But be aware: it is not incredibly fast, it is not quiet, my cats try to climb on the output tray, and it sucks ink like a Hummer sucks gas. It's worst issue is finding supplies. It's mailorder or no printing!! But I'd buy another tomorrow and I heartily recommend it to all my friends.

If you use the right paper (the like $1/page paper), it prints really beautiful pictures.
Pictures printed on anything other than the really expensive glossy paper doesn't turn out nearly as well. Print a picture on regular paper, it turns out kinda terrible (text is good though). Print it on Canon's cheaper Matte paper, it turns out better, but not great.
And it takes like 2 minutes to start up - want to quick print off directions from your email? yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
But my real beef with the printer is the ink consumption. I had bought another Canon printer a year ago which broke, but Best Buy honored the warranty and I got this one. Turns out - they made this one so it takes *smaller* ink cartridges than the last one, and those last one's were pretty tiny.
After moderate use, I recently had to order new ink cartridges myself. Well - the standard pack doesn't come with "GRY", so I had to order that separate, as well as the big black one. For *just* the color ones - it cost $64.08 (sixty four dollars and eight cents) in INK off Amazon.
It's really expensive. And I don't think I printed that much stuff.
