If I knew what I was in for with this PIXMA MP160 I would never have bought it. The paper goes down 1 inch and stops, E3 warning code flashes, (paper jam) press <|> to clear it, paper feeds right through the printer, result no paper jam.

Looking on the net I can find heeps of people with the same paper feed jam faults, onlt thing is, there is NO PAPER JAMMUP. this is a known fault.

DO NOT BUY THE CANON MP160 PRINTER

It will break down, one person fed 2 sheets through it before it stopped working. It costs more than a new printer to repair. DO Not buy this canon printer.
DO NOT BUY THIS CANON PRINTER

Pros: Excellent when it was working

Cons: COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE

LACK of reliable printer help for E3 when there is no jam up.

Printer inks costs far too much
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
The government should take a look at printer inks and JAIL the gready money hungry people who ripp you off.

1 liter of petrol costs $1.34c a liter
2 litres of milk cost $2.15

40 ml of iBLACK INK costs $21.00

There is NO comparrism
Call in th CCC

I decided to buy another printer because the cartridge is just to expensive. Now i cannot use the scanner because my cartridge is no longer recognized. Canon replied when i asked for support saying that i cannot use the scanner without the cartridge.

Pros: multi functionality

Cons: needs ink cartridge to get the scanner to work

It really pisses me off, because I bought brand new ink cartridges 40 (Black) & 41 (color). I bought the black ink at Walmart for $18.99 and then the next day I was at Fry's and I bought the color cartridge for $24.99. I installed the new ink cartridges at the same time and the printer just continues to flash E then it flashes 5. If I try to print it says that it doesn't recognize the ink cartridges. They are the correct cartridges for my computerI have already check that several times. I already through away the packaging for the cartridges so I can't take them back and I can't afford to buy new cartridges. So I am screwed, because no matter what I do it wont stop flashing and since it is flashing it won't let me print.

Pros: When it works it does print quality prints.

Cons: There is no way to over ride the alarm that is flashing or to just disable that feature and try and print anyways. It won't allow me to print even though I have the correct cartridges in the printer and they are brand new.

This printer is not particularly reliable. Lasted less than one year and could not get anyone to touch it under the warranty terms.

Pros: Thaought the price but not so.
Fits in the trash bin fine.

Cons: Build quality and Support.
Poor Scan quality.
Ink price and useage are both high.

price-quality is very good. Use Canon paper for photolab quality prints. Scanning is also very fast and good quality

Pros: very fast
good price/quality
easy to use

Cons: expensive ink
