Customer Reviews

great printer, great price - ink glutton
Every thing about this printer is perfect for my use except the printer's unbelieveable thirst for ink. I don't print photos but it's almost as if I can hear the ink being sucked away. At roughly $40 a refill, it may become too expensive.

I've had the printer just over a month and had to refill. December was a high use time because I was printing 2009 calendars, with lots of color, and with preview copies, probably ran more than 100 pages. Very fine quality printing but whoooosh! ink's gone.

A little tedious to set up, but then GREAT (edited one year later)
It took me about 30 minutes to set this up, which I thought a bit excessive. But it is wonderful to have this 3-in-one available at home, and it seems to be a great machine. The 4 x 6 pictures it prints rivals the ones I make at the drugstore kiosk! I haven't scanned anything yet, but the copies I've made are good. Just be sure to let them dry before touching or they smudge. I guess all ink jets do that though.

For $68 I think this is a great deal. And it arrived lightning-fast.

EDIT 12/31/09: It does work great, BUT, THE INK CARTRIDGES COST $25 A POP! RIDICULOUS! I HAVE SPENT MORE IN INK THIS YEAR THAN THIS PRINTER COST!!!!! Live and learn.

Pleased with purchase
I was looking for a new multifunction printer to replace my 4 yr. old HP that worked fine as a printer with new iMac, but scanning feature was not recognized by computer. I looked into upgrading the driver, but a new driver for the model printer I had was not available. I didn't need the fax function on printer, so I checked all reviews for multifunction units without fax feature and the Canon Pixma MP 190 consistently had pretty good reviews for a unit in the price range. Many users commented on excellent photo quality; however, that is not a feature I make use of. I order my photos from an on line service. The most negative comment from the reviews that I read and am experiencing is the slow printing and noise from the machine as it gears up to print and also while printing; however, since I use it only for non-business printing I don't find it much of a problem. When I set up the machine, which was rather easy, there was something in the on line manual about reducing the noise; however, I was unable to make the adjustments. I had the machine set up and ready to go in less than 1/2 hr. A drawback is that my previous printer was able to accept legal sized paper while the Pixma MP 190 appears to only take 8.5 x 11 paper, 8.5 x 11 photo paper and 4 x 6 photo paper. I haven't tried putting legal sized paper in the paper tray to see if it would be accepted.

So far, I am happy with the printing quality, but as mentioned, it is used for home use and doesn't get overworked. Overall, am pleased with the purchase.
