A great printer, a great price.
By Peter Hunt
I can't praise this printer enough. I haven't owned an inkjet printer, so maybe I'm easily impressed. But from the moment I brought it home, this printer has exceeded my expectations.
The S300 is quite small, so it fit easily into my (somewhat cramped) office. It was very easy to hook up to my computer and install the drivers on Windows. The written instructions were clear, and the driver installation program guided me through the head calibration task in no time.
After that, everything just worked. I printed out a few color images and web pages just for fun, and have since used it quite often to print out verious tax-related documents and letters. The print quality is impressive, even on plain paper. The printing speed is fine for most documents. And the little extras like automatic power on/off make the printer a joy to use.
I expected to have to pay twice what I did to get a printer I was happy with. At around $100, this printer is astoundingly good.
A word of warning: the ink cartridges for this printer are quite small, so if you're looking for a home office printer, you should probably get something more industrial-stength. However, if you only need to print a few pages every now and then, but still want reasonable print quality, then the S300 is ideal for you.

very nice printer- but needed new ink after ~100 pages.
By Elleyne Beals
setup was easy. print beautiful, quick. price great. after having lexmark printers, i shopped with regard to replacement ink prices. canon replacement ink prices seemed reasonable. after purchase, i saw the ink tanks were tiny (9ml black, 5mlx3 color). my old lexmark tanks don't indicate volume, but they look to be 3 times larger than the canon. with the lexmark, i was getting 6 months(about 1000 pages) of printing. with the canon, i used up the black ink after only about 100 pages (half of them cd covers) in 16 days. print quality was set at "standard"- and did not "clean heads" or do other ink-wasting activities. i got far less than the 300 pages the manual says you'll get, esp. when you consider the number of pages that were plain cd covers. i used the tank until it failed- did not replace when the warning came up (worked for about 20 pages). i haven't done much color printing yet, only a few photos and mixed documents. i'm sure the color won't last long, either (manual says 170 pages). i recommend the printer, but be sure to have replacement ink tanks on hand.

By A Customer
This is an excellent printer for the price. I print text, graphics and photos and it does a very good job and is fast. The ink lasts surprisingly long given the size of the cartridges. I expect you would really have to go to the high end (...) before you would see a printer significantly different for the price (I looked around quite a bit). I am satisfied and recommend this printer.
