Summary: Canon Pixma ip1800 known issues with paper feed
Comment: I have the 1800 model (Canon Pixma ip1800) and there is a factory flaw in the paper feed mechanism so that the printer cannot actually print. They are sending me a new one, but I have already spend SO MUCH TIME dealing with other issues the printer presented out of the box; Vista compatibility problems, missing cables, etc. Caveat emptor!

Here is a further description of my experience with a similar model of Canon printers:

After purchasing the Canon Pixma ip1800, and expending immense quantities of time, money and effort dealing with the initial myriad of problems I was presented with out of the box, I was still left with a piece of equipment that did not function and has yet to print one page.

Today I again contacted Canon by phone and Lo and Behold! My printer is apparently one of many machines they made which have a known paper feed issue and therefore do not work at all. They are sending me a replacement and their apologies (well, I took that last part as implied). There were so many units with this problem of a non-functioning paper feed mechanism, the tech told me, that they stopped manufacturing the model altogether.

I just think there should be a law about this. I mean, it would have been nice if they could have mentioned the model's KNOWN DEFECT on their website so I could have been advised of it sooner, like during one of the umpteen times I visited their site for the other fixable, but nevertheless irritating issues which my printer had.

I am furious, exhausted, and without the documents which I needed to print. So yeah, I would NOT recommend this model, and if you were lucky enough to skirt by with a model that happens to work then I am happy for you, but man, I don't think I could bear to hear about it.

Unless of course by some fluke we are neighbors. Which in that case, would you know if your computer has the capacity to recognize MS Works files burned to cd from Windows Vista? Cause I have some things I REALLY need to print!!!!

Summary: Absolute disaster!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Ok for a disposable printer
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great printer!
Comment: 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.

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