Absolute disaster! Sep 10, 2008
This is far most the greatest mistake of all my "buyer's-life".

The printer itself is good, but after 3 or 4 refills (I can't remember correctly), the cartridges self-destroyed themselves!

Pixma ip1800 is pre-programmed to do that, if you refill inks for 3 or 4 times. It is completely useless to me right now. I am supposed to buy new inks, which cost like the printer itself, maybe even higher.

I am not alone in this. On a printer-help website goes a long thread of all of us, with same experience:
[...]

We all have same symptoms: "orange light blinks 7x and the green 1x", and says "Some ink cartridges cannot be recognized."

Nothing helps - nor software reset tool (it frezees), nor instructions from manual regarding resetting setting of printer. We tried any possible solution.

Some of them contacted staff at Canon, and they confirmed that the printer is EPROM-preprogrammed to destroy the inks after counting some quota number of pages printed.

Greedy bastardz! I will never ever buy something from Cannon. I think my next printer will be a Hewlett Packard, within the same price range.

Ok for a disposable printer Jul 25, 2008
The printed output is not really all that good. But it works for me. Have had it for 6 months or so but only print a couple of pages a month. When the ink goes out I will buy another printer as the ink refill costs are just too much.

Great printer! Jul 11, 2008
After a horrible experience trying to buy a printer on eBay, in desperation to get a printer I went to Office Depot, where the clerk recommended this printer. He said, "Don't be fooled by the price, it has won awards." I bought it (would have bought it on Amazon, but I had already wasted a week on the printer that only worked on PCs), took it home and hooked it up to my Mac without problems, and immediately ran off 218 pages with the little ink cartridge that came with it. I truly believe that the less tasks a machine performs, the better it does the job you buy it for. This printer just prints, it doesn't scan, it doesn't fax. It works on both PCs AND Macs. And it does it beautifully and inexpensively.

very good pictures and fast printing but could use a paper tray when printing more than one or two sheets.

Good at the right price Jun 10, 2008
This is a decent printer. It is possible to get it unbelievably cheap if you look around for refurbed ones.

The picture quality is absolutely acceptable, and I didn't find it too noisy. It's a little slow (about 1 minute per 4x6 in high quality mode) but for the price, what can one expect?

It does use a lot of ink, so I'll have to see what the final print costs end up being - but Canon has the cheapest 4x6 glossy photopaper I could find (unless you find some noname brand) - and they are among the most reasonable on ink cartridges as well.

I think regardless of printer, it is probably better to print most your pictures at a store these days, but for emergencies and maybe large size prints as well, this printer does the trick.
