I've had the Canon pixma MP 470 for 3 mos & it operated flawlessly. Without warning it ceased printing with error paper jam; I cannot see any area where there's a paper jam.
Having wasted 2 days trying to fix the waste tank error (succeeded) and the paper jam error (failed) I have concluded this printer is a piece of junk and am binning it! Won't be buying Canon again, that's for sure!
Pros: worked well for the first 3 months
Cons: poor value and short life - used for 3 months, then stored for 9 mths - end of life!
After very little use the 'error message'
'paper jam' appears. I am told it is now a bin job!! So much so for Canon. Must have a built in self destruct time limit!!
I have a MP130 which is normally very good untill you change over to Vista and then the drivers can NOT be downloaded, you would have thought that someone would have thought ahead

Great at first but now dying of the dreaded Paper Jam Disease.
Pros: Lots of features for low cost.
Cons: Print roller lasted less than two years of moderate use. Not impressive.
