Canon is built to last!
I've had this printer for over 3 years! I love this thing. I actually got this printer for free with the purchase of a Canon SD500 camera so long ago. Since it was free, I didn't care too much about it. I didn't start to value it until 2, that's right, 2 HP printers I had broke which were newer than this Canon IP3000. I've had an Epson printer that seem to last forever too, so I was just amazed that the HP printers were having mechanical issues. So like the other reviewer said, although this product has been discountinued, if you still have it, it's probably still working for you because it definitely is working for me. This printer normal text print quality is great. The inks are all separate which makes it last longer than if all the colors are combined into 1 cartridge. The photo print quality isn't spectacular, but for it being one of the first generation home photo printers, it sure does a decent job. I have since bought 2 Canon printers and they are all working fine. I think I'll stick with canon printers for a long time since it seems to be the best quality built printers.
