Canon PIXMA™ MP830 All-In-One InkJet Printer Review

In the past, the company I work for had a Canon all-in-one copier.  It worked good, was simply to run and lasted for about 5 years.   When it came time to get a new copier, I figured that I couldn't go wrong if I bought another Canon product. 

I purchased the Canon PIXMA MP830 and really have not been happy with it.   For one, it has 2 black cartridges and 3 color cartridges.  If any cartridge is empty, there are numerous steps you have to go through in order to get the printer to print.  I very seldom use any of the color cartridges and have, in fact, set the default to print in black regardless of the original copy.  Yet, my color cartridges run out quickly and replacements are costly!  

Many times the papers I am trying to copy get caught up when they are coming through the machine and consequently the paper is damaged, so I have to print another copy which is a waste of money.

For the money, I don't think it is a great deal!
