This review is from: Canon PIXMA MP490 Inkjet Photo All-In-One Printer (3745B002) (Office Product)
I rarely review products I purchase on the Internet, but given the problems I've had from the MP490 I felt I had to share my experience. I ran across what I thought was a great deal ([...] w/ free shipping) for an all-in-one printer. I knew for that kind of cash it wouldn't be top notch, but respecting the Canon brand I went for it. From day one, this printer fed multiple pages on nearly every print job. It would print 1/4 to 1/3 of a page, then stop and grab another sheet to print the rest of the document or photo. I tried different paper, ran the roller cleaning procedure multiple times, power cycling, etc to no avail. I didn't open the printer immediately after buying it on Amazon (who resells it for [...]) so by the time I realized it was defective it was past the 30-day return period for either company. So...I contacted Canon support and was advised that the only thing they could do would be to ship me a refurbished replacement (for a 30-day old printer that was barely used!). So after wasting an entire black ink cartridge (which by the way this printer DEVOURS ink compared to my two prior HP Deskjet printers) and half a ream of paper, I'm going to be stuck with a refurbished printer. Also, this printer is VERY noisy and cheaply made. Overall, I would advise going for the $80 price range in printers as a minimum...and I've had better luck with HP printers which is what I will go back to.
