Canon PIXMA MP780

Pros: Great value, quiet, well built and versatile

Cons: Large, no USB cable, no card reader, no printed manuals, small copy issue

The Bottom Line: Fills the average home or small offices need for fax/print/copy/scan without taxing the pocketbook!

Review: Since I haven't owned this printer very long, this will be a preliminary review. I will make every effort to update it at a later date. When our 3 year old Epson 786EPX photo printer developed communication problems, I knew it was time for a upgrade. ...

Pros: Excellent features, good software package and drivers, good performance, easy on the ink; duplex printing.

Cons: Duplex copying still a mystery; smoke-free locations only: cleaning internal scanning surface not feasible.

The Bottom Line: Absolute best bang for the buck in its class. Good quality copyies, scans, prints, automatic document feeder, and duplex printing make this networkable all-in-one a winner in my book.

Review: This $199 unit came to the top of my list when looking for a replacement for my disappointing HP 2110 (see review here). I was looking for features, ink costs, price, and certainly not least, maintainability. The Canon MP780 did not disappoint. I must ...

Pros: GREAT photos, easy to install/use, good looking, two paper trays, duplex printing.

Cons: Ink access cumbersome for big hands, pictbridge limits camera options

The Bottom Line: This is a no-hassle, multifunction that prints great photos. The duplexing and multiple trays are great bonuses. Perfect for the active home or small office.

Review: This review comes to you from a former Canon MP730 owner (which I reviewed over 2 years ago). This machine was purchased to replace my MP730 - as it turns out for no real reason. (See the update to the MP730 review for details). We run a small ...

Pros: Cheap cartridges. Fast, reliable Flatbed, auto-document feed copier 2-sided copying more

Cons: a bit noisy some operations not obvious; had to refer to manual

The Bottom Line: Run, don't walk, to buy one if you can find 'em.

Review: Can you fall in love with a machine? We were HP loyalists for twenty years. They were durable and reliable. But we became fed up with the cost of ink cartridges, terrible customer support, and -- the final straw -- HP's refusal to upgrade their XP ...

Pros: Does everything with ease and produces amazing pictures

Cons: ADF is not the best

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a home/office printer for a cheap price that will serve as a photo printer as well, you have found it.

Review: When I got Cannon MP780, I thought that it was going to take too much space on my desk. Surprisingly, it took up just a few additional inches compared to my old Epson 820 Color Printer. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely taller, but the footprint ...

Pros: Duplexing, fast high quality printing,

Cons: Macintosh support

The Bottom Line: This is a flexible, well built AIO for all sorts of use.

Review: We were looking for a printer to replace our HP OfficeJet v40xi. We knew we wanted another all-in-one (AIO) but we wanted some functionality not offered by to V40xi and a better balance of consumables costs (print cartridges). The features we were ...

Pros: Does it all well.

Cons: "Red" isn't available as a text color (red-orange is what you get).

Review: I've avoided multifunction printers for years, on the theory that copier, scanner, fax, and printer all in one leaves you with less than the best in each category, and provides multiple ways for all your important business devices to fail at once. But ...

Pros: Scanning and printing images are especially impressive.

Cons: Perhaps more detail and/or pictures in the setup materials.

Review: My Lexmark died, and since I'm establishing a freelance photography/imaging business, I decided to look at all-in-ones. The Pixma MP780 had such good reviews, that I felt safe choosing it, and those reviews are right on. This is the most ...

Pros: Individual inks-low print cost, Canon name,ease of setup, too many to list.

Cons: USB cable not included from Canon - but is cheap to buy.

Review: I spent a lot of time researching which multi-function printer to buy for my home business. Thanks to Epinions and in store comparisons, I decided on the Canon Pixma MP 780. It was a great decision. This machine is all you will ever need- it rivals the ...

Pros: Lovely photo prints, quick faxing, very quiet, easy to setup, economical supplies.

Cons: A bit bulky, no print documentation.

Review: I bought this to replace a new (but hideous) HP PSC1610. I've been very pleased. It is easy to use and do an admirable job on regular text, photo printing, faxing and scanning. It's a bit large but that is not a serious issue given that one unit does ...
