Well, I finally bought a printer for myself a couple months ago. There were so many choices! I seen the Canon Pixma MP470 and just liked how it looked, liked the price, and loved all the functions. The ink lasted really long. It prints beautiful pictures, and I will always stick with this printer as long as they are around. I may upgrade but I love Canon products and have no complaints about it. So, I think it's worth buying if you were considering it.
