This printer is a question of value. Clearly, there are higher quality printers even from Canon. Likewise, there are printers that are less expensive. What I am most interested in knowing about when shopping for something is the relative value of the item. In that way, the MP150 should receive 5 stars. It is an extremely good value for what it is: a quality, at-home moderate use printer.
Printing quality is fast and of high quality. Borderless 4x6 photos are what I would call very good (I have not yet printed larger). I have seen better photos, but not at this price point. You will be very happy with the occasional or semi-frequent picture you print off for friends, family, or yourself. Pictures seem a little skewed to the beige, but I don't notice any grain or lines. It will not quite replace a photo studio or online provider, but with the low cost of printing digital pictures at your local drug store, 90% of us should not be overly concerned with very, very high...Read more

Excellent prints and value!,

I just purchased this printer and am VERY impressed with the print quality. Especially the borderless prints that look every bit as good as professionally printed photos.
A couple of small nits to be aware of: The setup instructions that I recieved with my printer bear absolutely no resemblance to this printer. They're supposed to be for this and a couple of other models, but it asks you to do things that aren't available on this model (select your language from the LCD panel - when there's no LCD panel, for instance). Having said all that, it still sets up very easily. Windows XP detected it right away and I was up and running in minutes (love that plug-and-play feature of XP, thanks Microsoft!)
It's not the quietest printer in the regular mode, but there is a special "quiet" mode that you can engage if it bothers you.
Overall an outstanding combination of quality and price.

Seems like a nice printer and there is a way to save ink!,

Just purchased this printer with a notebook bundle and ending up only paying $49.99 after rebates so for that price I'm happy. We have a very nice HP wireless all-in-one but bought the Canon for my daughter who is college bound. The HP is definitely nicer and quieter but we also paid 5 times as much!
Set up was very easy. For those who are looking to save ink do not use the Canon task bar to print. Go to the main task bar and select File, then Print, Preferences, Custom, then Set. Select the fastest print quality for draft printer and a little higher for other printing. You will save a lot of ink!
I also tried the scanner and copier and both seem to work fine.
