Canon PIXMA MP460 All-In-One Photo Printer (1449B002)

I bought this printer solely for the bluetooth functionality. I figured it was a little more expensive than some of the other similar models but the bluetooth would make up for the difference in price that I wouldn't have to spend on a USB cable. Bluetooth, however, is not built into the printer and requires a $50+ optional external device. This is a total bait and switch on behalf of canon. Don't let this happen to you.

I've had this about a month. It's easy to use, and prints GREAT photos--really impressive to me (though I'm admittedly no pro). Better than the HP I was using before, though that was at least a couple years old. Copies are fine. I haven't tried the scanner yet. Doesn't take up a ton of room on my desk (budget a little less than 2 feet by 2 feet). Not too noisy, reasonably quick. My only complaint is that it doesn't get the low price/page of B/W printing I was hoping for. I read somewhere (CNET I think) that it could get as low as $0.04/page, and that's way off. I'd say it gets about $0.08/page at best, maybe $0.10. So if mass black and white printing is your task, you might want to invest in a laser. But if you're like me and also want colour (including for photos), I think it's a good choice. The price for the printer itself seems pretty good to me.

I've had this for 5 months and haven't had a problem using it with my macbook pro. I have not, however, tried scanning and printing a photo so I cannot verify the "overly reddish hue" problem described by other reviewers.

Same issues as those already written about: color prints come out reddish, it makes a racket, and it's slow. If these aren't dealbreakers for you and you have a very limited budget, this unit could make sense. If you want your photos to look good and to have your papers print out quickly, you'll have to spend more money for a decent printer (the scanner isn't the problem, the printer is . . .)

I needed a new printer and did not want to get an HP. This one does everything I need and does it well. I think the manuel could be a bit better but other than that it was well worth the money and Cannon customer svc for other things I own has always been very good.

This is the first all-in-one printer I've owned that I've been pleased with. Surprisingly easy to set up, never crashes, wireless capability, etc... The scanner works great, and photo prints turn out nicely. My only complaint would be the rate at which it prints. My experience with this printer has been far slower than the estimated pages per minute on the box. Other than that, it's a lot of bang for your buck.

If you're picky about how your photos turn out, I don't recommend the MP460. Scanned photos show up reddish in hue (I even tested a photo with a green rug--it turned out reddish as well) and the colors are a bit washed-out. Printing directly from a digital photo does not solve the problem, as those prints have the same red problem. I know it's not a problem with my particular printer, since I tested out the MP460 at the store as well after returning mine, and it had the same issue.

Not a bad printer for $89. It's a lot quieter then them my old HP. As for the pictures turning out a little red I have not had this problem at all. All in all it's a good printer that gets the job done and once again what can you expect for $89.

This printer is remarkable and my office and home work now very easy to print and picture printing easy and satisfactory.

I bought this printer several months ago and am vey pleased with it. I does a fantastic job and is far superior to the one i replaced.

I have used all of the features, scanning, photo printing, copying. It works fine for me. It was affordable and the photos turn out great. It is quiet and works fast enough for me. Ink is easier to find than was for my previous Epson Photo Stylus. It also takes up less space. I'm very happy with it. I use it with my Mac. Oh, and I read a good review on this on Consumer Reports, this is why I purchased it to begin with.

I bought my PIXMA on more or less no research, other than having really liked Canon's printers in the past. My several year old Canon S600 stopped working suddenly, and my kids needed to print homework ASAP. So I ran to a nearby big box store, and picked one up. The price was reasonable, and I thought the scanner / copier functions would come in handy (although I already had a flatbed scanner...but it was so old-school it still only ran on a parallel cable...remember those kids!?!).

Anyway, it set up in no time and worked perfectly right off the bat. It makes good quality prints, and the photos look fine too me...not heavey on the red. It's also nice to put a memory card right in the printer and print photos without needing to even have the computer on. The copier function, although only used twice in two months, works good. The printer came with lots of bundled hardware. Usually, I have no use for the bundled stuff, it's always the LE edition or very limited in someway. But the Canon Easy Photo print makes it a snap for me or my technophobe wife to print photos in whatever size and on whatever paper without any big headaches. The OCR software is very good. My three year old OmniPro, which I paid a fair amount for, doesn't work as good.

I can't say yet how efficient its toner use is...haven't had it long enough to judge.

There are a couple of downsides. It is SLOW to start. First copies sometimes take long enough to kick in that you wonder if something is wrong. But when it starts, it is quite fast. For plain paper printing with some photos and graphics...the graphics barely slow it down. Full color, high quality photos take a little longer, but are still fast. You just have to be patient for that one page to start. Scanning is the same way...the scanner has to "think" for a bit before it starts, but then it's fast. It is a little bit noisy...nothing to send the neighbors calling the cops or anything...but it's the noisiest ink jet I've owned. The scanning is a little noisy too.

But overall, I'm thrilled to have gotten a good quality item and at a really great price too. I'm very happy with it!! I think most routine users would be too.

My lightly used HP All-in-One refused to print and I needed to find a replacement quickly. This model was listed on several comparison sites as good value for the money. I'm very happy with the print quality and the scan quality is better than I expected.

its a good printer but a little confusing when trying to make a copy or scan a document due to the many options available on these screens. i don't think it scans legal size paper and i think the PC has to be on just to make a copy, but it could also be my inexperience! there are also lots of features which i haven't tried yet with the photo software that is included (much like adobe photoshop).

I have nothing but praise for the Canon MP460. Set up was quick and easy. From the very start, the print quality has been excellent. I have not experienced any of the problems I read from earlier reviews (heavy red tint, etc.). I use this for normal everyday use -- color graphics, photos, and general text printing. I have used various papers of differing grades and weights. All worked flawlessly. Photograph print quality rivals anything I have seen from more expensive HP and Epson photo printers. The scanning function works wonderfully and the photocopy quality is fine (though a bit faint at times) for a smaller machine. This all-in-one gives great value for the price paid. I have only one complaint -- the replacement ink cartridges have not come down in price compared to others in the market. Though the MP460 is not an ink hog, replacement inks will be pricey for a while.

The delivery time was about 5 days. Pretty good for free shipping.

It's a good printer and does all i expected it to do.it's easy to set up, prints off your camera's SD memory card or even your USB memory stick, apart from printing from the PC. It scans and color copies beautifully. It's easy to navigate between copy, scan and memory card functions cos each have their individual buttons. Choosing between b&w or color is a piece of cake too at a touch of a button. The user menu is very easy to understand & navigate. To sum it up, it's a great printer that's so easy to install and use, you may not even need to look at the manual. The only complaint i have so far is that it didn't come with it's own USB cables (to hook it up to the PC).

I am very happy and satisfied with my new Canon MP460 3-in-1 Printer since my friend and I got the cable plugged in the correct place it works great! It is so easy and the quality of printing or scanning is wonderful!
I would recommend it highly!

The printer itself is probably a decent printer for everyday printing. I wanted a printer that would print exceptional photo's...this one doesn't!
The ink carts are very expensive & I really wish I could have seen the quality of photo's before purchasing this printer, I would have NEVER gone thru with the purchase.

VERY GOOD VALUE FOR A QUALITY PRODUCT. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF USE, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE FOR HOME USE.

I've had HP and Lexmark printers in the past. This Canon outshines both of the other brands. It is super easy to install WITHOUT any troubleshooting. Works like a charm. The prints looks great.

We love this printer! We have only had HP printers in the past which gave us nothing but trouble. We kept trying them because they came highly recommended. After the third one clunked out on us, we did our own research. God bless the folks who reviewed this item before. Because they did not steer us wrong! It is a little slow "warming up" at times, but when it does it is wonderful. We are 100% happy with this little gem for such a reasonable price.

Pleasantly surprised by the photo printing speed and quality. Prints photos faster than a regular sheet of text (which is also pretty fast - well within the impatience limit). Very easy to install. You get the usual claptrap of software in the package but just de-select any packages you don't want at install time. One "con" is it's fairly large footprint but that's to be expected with the on-board scanner. Overall it's not the Ferrari but it's a really nice Honda.

As with the other reviews, it is slow to start up printing but the quality of the printing is good and the scanning is also superb. For my home needs, which is occasional printing, copying and scanning it does the job and an ink saver. For the price it does the job. Not printed any pictures so can't say about that. Great for basic home use.

First Item was defective and needed to be replaced. Product is very noisy and seems to use a lot of ink to produce copies and print in black. I am on my third black cartridge in the brief time I have had it. Have not printed any pictures yet.

I purchased this printer after reading all the reviews and the consumer report. It prints documents great, it scans very nice too. But when I got to print pictures I was disappointed with the quality. I've had in the past printers print a lot better than this one. The colors look different than they look in the computer, they look either a little too much in the green side or yellow or red. I guess for the price it is great but I wished I had better photo quality prints. Other than that, it is very easy to install and to manage and use. It is fast and the paper loads easy. I had problems with my past HP which was a pain to load paper it always had paper jams or would say out of paper. I am pleased for the price. But if you are looking to print good quality pictures I would look for something else.

There was a bit of trouble loading the drivers, but I think the problem was on the computer side. Once it was installed, there have been no problems. The scan and print quality are excellent.

We were actually shopping for a printer, not because our Dell stopped working, but because once again the ink had. As a family of five with two in school, we were zooming thru ink cartridges. This Canon supports ink that I can get at a local retail store, rather than at Dell Online after placing a second mortgage on our home.

Also, the print quality is great. I haven't yet used it to scan, but the memory card feature works well. This was extremely fortunate because I couldn't find my cable for my camera (also a canon) and needed a photo quick uploaded. I inserted the memory card, uploaded to my computer and emailed to my associates at work. No problem.

The printing feature from the computer works well too. We're not a graphics design kind of family so it's difficult for me to articulate the quality, but it definitely gets the job done.

The only down side is that it takes the printer a moment to get started. Once it's engaged, the prints come out quickly. Sometimes the kids get antsy or request to print again due to the delay.

Overall, if I include initial purchase price, ink refill price and quality, I am VERY happy that I purchased this printer. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have had my Canon PIXMA MP460 for about six months. Its a great printer for the $$$. Easy to install, easy to use and it prints, copies and scans great. I liked it so much that I bought one for my daughter.

I was amazed by the excellent print/graphics quality of this all in one printer. The overall design is a work of art of form and function. I use it to print cd jewel case inserts downloaded from itunes, and downloaded sheet-music as well as copying important personal documents. the great look and ease of use is astonishing.

I searched on-line for a while to find an all-in-one machine, and eventually decided to buy this one, mainly because of the price and the positive consumer reviews. I bought this printer with less than $100 dollars; I have to say this is a great product with such a low price. The installation (both hardware & software) is easy. The only weakness is that the USB cable that connects the printer to my computer is *not* included.

I mainly use this printer to scan my important documents for back-up. I have been using an older scanner (other brand) at work. I notice that the Canon scanner software not only scans but also crops the image to a proper size; this feature is much more convenient than the scanner software I use at work where I need to manually adjust a box to specify the region I want to keep in the image. The "copy" key on the printer is handy; my wife, a non-technical person, was so happy to make photocopies of her documents with one-click. The printing and copying time is short. I haven't used the photo printing functionality, since many pharmacy stores offer low-price photo printing. In summary, I would recommend this printer to most home users who have a low budget but want a relatively convenient all-in-one machine.

amazon rocks, this baby was with me one day earlier than expected, it worths the money and great offer with super saver shipping, i love canon and their products, we can refill their cartridges and reset the counter isn't very hard, the only cons i have is that it doesn't bring an usb cable, but hey anyway it says so. AMAZON RULEZ

I have had this printer for about two months and at first I loved it. I did have some problems with horizontal ink lines at the beginning but a few simple head cleanings took care of that problem. I loved how the scanner would Auto-crop the white platen glass edge off of your photos for you without lifting a finger. Since the last printer I had had was an old cheap Epson inkjet three years ago, and the last scanner I bought was even more ancient, I thought I was in printer heaven. However, the scanner suddenly stopped Auto Cropping the photos and now I have to tediously do each one manually inside the bundled photo software, which gets pretty annoying. Irritating, yes, but decided it wasn't such a horrible thing to live with. I suppose that was just the beginning.

Here's the real deal breaker for me. I have used it less than ten times in two months to print something, and it is sitting neatly on a stable desk and very sparingly used. Somehow the printer feed stopped working properly, and it jams every single time when it tries to feed in the paper. The printer only feeds the right side of the paper, then it jams inside the printer or says it is out of paper when it isn't. I have used only name brand printer paper and photo paper for this printer. I am extremely irritated with this printer. I originally bought it because of the good reviews, so I am thinking I must have gotten a lemon. By the time I pay the shipping to send it back to Amazon and calculate in the shipping I paid to receive this and then shipping for the new printer, especially with the new postal hike, I may as well buy a new printer and save myself a trip to the post ofice lugging this huge thing around... Since I don't print that often and I am far too irked to go out and schlep out another $150 or so on a new printer, I suppose I am going to go printer-less for the rest of the year. My advice, even if you get a really good deal online, don't buy large items like printers online - that way if it breaks two months in you can take it in to the store and get them to exchange it for you. I really wish I had just spent the extra $30 they wanted for it at the local office supply store, then I would be out $30 instead of $200 - $100 for this printer and $100 for the new one. Maybe if I can figure out how to manual-feed my paper into it, I will be satisfied with it for a while because $100 is a lot of money for me, and I can't afford to purchase a new printer anytime soon.

I think I got a lemon, but I strongly recommend that if you decide to buy this one (it does seem to be the highest rated printer in the under $150 range) that you buy it at a walk-in store.

I had to get a replace for my older Hewlett Packard printer. The only guidelines were it had to be an all-in-one printer (with scanner and copier), and it could not be a HP. A saw this model at an office supplies store and I'd thought I would give it a shot since I've never had problems with Canon products and the feature:price ratio of this machine was beyond most, if not all in its price range.

The printer is large. Not up to "so large I can't use it" standards, but it's definitely too big for an executive printer, or maybe one that would want it in a college dorm room, for example. For home use this printer is larger than most but not terrible. This Canon MP460 machine has a good amount of features. If you are looking for a more inexpensive and bare-bones machine, I'd suggest the Canon MP160 instead, as it is twenty dollars less but you'll have to remove the cool little screen, memory card readers, and the better print quality you get from the mid-level multifunction. The MP460 printer is simple to install, plug in the USB cord (NOT included) and the power cord and install the software from the CD. If you just want the drivers and don't want all of the software, I'd go for the "custom" install since you then get to choose what goes on your PC. For the features, you get a printer, scanner, and copier, along with the memory card reader and a little status screen. The printer is very user-friendly (now I remember why I picked Canon again) and it is easy to access all of the printer's features, although installing the printer cartridges took a bit of thinking. The print and copy quality is decent. Not lab or studio quality, but very good performance that was noticeably standout of other printers in this price range. I printed out a few images from my camera, and although I thought some of the images could have been brighter, they were above expected for a sub-$100. Copies were on the level of the photo prints, good quality prints all the time. You also get a decent scanner, although not of spectacular quality, proved better than the similar-priced HP machine. It's a little slow, and as another reviewer mentioned, it takes 20 seconds or so for start-up for the first print. You can adjust the print speed, but in sacrifice of print quality. (although in my opinion, very little) It's not too noisy, but there is a quiet mode you can put it on, in sacrifice of print speed. The paper-feed is the basic, and almost never has problems. (Unless it is the paper) Ink doesn't run out too fast, for the little ink cartridges that come with the printer lasted about 300-something pages, so I'd guess the normal ink cartridges would last about 400 to 500. The memory card reader is very useful if you have a camera. It takes a good amount of cards, like CompactFlash, Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, SD, and SmartMedia, and many others. There is also a way to print wirelessly through Bluetooth technology, however this is an add-on and must be purchased beforehand.

All in all, if you don't mind a larger printer, and you are looking for a well-priced multifunction printer, this Canon is for you. 4 stars.

larger printer than I thought it would be - - however smaller foot print (tapered-down) makes it fit nicely on our desk-shelf.

Good printer only complain is that it takes a few seconds to warm up before actually printing but the quality and speed is great once it gets going.

I bought this printer several months ago and am vey pleased with it. I does a fantastic job and is far superior to the one i replaced.

I have used all of the features, scanning, photo printing, copying. It works fine for me. It was affordable and the photos turn out great. It is quiet and works fast enough for me. Ink is easier to find than was for my previous Epson Photo Stylus. It also takes up less space. I'm very happy with it. I use it with my Mac. Oh, and I read a good review on this on Consumer Reports, this is why I purchased it to begin with.

I bought my PIXMA on more or less no research, other than having really liked Canon's printers in the past. My several year old Canon S600 stopped working suddenly, and my kids needed to print homework ASAP. So I ran to a nearby big box store, and picked one up. The price was reasonable, and I thought the scanner / copier functions would come in handy (although I already had a flatbed scanner...but it was so old-school it still only ran on a parallel cable...remember those kids!?!).

Anyway, it set up in no time and worked perfectly right off the bat. It makes good quality prints, and the photos look fine too me...not heavey on the red. It's also nice to put a memory card right in the printer and print photos without needing to even have the computer on. The copier function, although only used twice in two months, works good. The printer came with lots of bundled hardware. Usually, I have no use for the bundled stuff, it's always the LE edition or very limited in someway. But the Canon Easy Photo print makes it a snap for me or my technophobe wife to print photos in whatever size and on whatever paper without any big headaches. The OCR software is very good. My three year old OmniPro, which I paid a fair amount for, doesn't work as good.

I can't say yet how efficient its toner use is...haven't had it long enough to judge.

There are a couple of downsides. It is SLOW to start. First copies sometimes take long enough to kick in that you wonder if something is wrong. But when it starts, it is quite fast. For plain paper printing with some photos and graphics...the graphics barely slow it down. Full color, high quality photos take a little longer, but are still fast. You just have to be patient for that one page to start. Scanning is the same way...the scanner has to "think" for a bit before it starts, but then it's fast. It is a little bit noisy...nothing to send the neighbors calling the cops or anything...but it's the noisiest ink jet I've owned. The scanning is a little noisy too.

But overall, I'm thrilled to have gotten a good quality item and at a really great price too. I'm very happy with it!! I think most routine users would be too.

Not a bad printer for $89. It's a lot quieter then them my old HP. As for the pictures turning out a little red I have not had this problem at all. All in all it's a good printer that gets the job done and once again what can you expect for $89.

I've had this for 5 months and haven't had a problem using it with my macbook pro. I have not, however, tried scanning and printing a photo so I cannot verify the "overly reddish hue" problem described by other reviewers.

Same issues as those already written about: color prints come out reddish, it makes a racket, and it's slow. If these aren't dealbreakers for you and you have a very limited budget, this unit could make sense. If you want your photos to look good and to have your papers print out quickly, you'll have to spend more money for a decent printer (the scanner isn't the problem, the printer is . . .)

I needed a new printer and did not want to get an HP. This one does everything I need and does it well. I think the manuel could be a bit better but other than that it was well worth the money and Cannon customer svc for other things I own has always been very good.

This is the first all-in-one printer I've owned that I've been pleased with. Surprisingly easy to set up, never crashes, wireless capability, etc... The scanner works great, and photo prints turn out nicely. My only complaint would be the rate at which it prints. My experience with this printer has been far slower than the estimated pages per minute on the box. Other than that, it's a lot of bang for your buck.

If you're picky about how your photos turn out, I don't recommend the MP460. Scanned photos show up reddish in hue (I even tested a photo with a green rug--it turned out reddish as well) and the colors are a bit washed-out. Printing directly from a digital photo does not solve the problem, as those prints have the same red problem. I know it's not a problem with my particular printer, since I tested out the MP460 at the store as well after returning mine, and it had the same issue.

I've had this about a month. It's easy to use, and prints GREAT photos--really impressive to me (though I'm admittedly no pro). Better than the HP I was using before, though that was at least a couple years old. Copies are fine. I haven't tried the scanner yet. Doesn't take up a ton of room on my desk (budget a little less than 2 feet by 2 feet). Not too noisy, reasonably quick. My only complaint is that it doesn't get the low price/page of B/W printing I was hoping for. I read somewhere (CNET I think) that it could get as low as $0.04/page, and that's way off. I'd say it gets about $0.08/page at best, maybe $0.10. So if mass black and white printing is your task, you might want to invest in a laser. But if you're like me and also want colour (including for photos), I think it's a good choice. The price for the printer itself seems pretty good to me.

I bought this printer solely for the bluetooth functionality. I figured it was a little more expensive than some of the other similar models but the bluetooth would make up for the difference in price that I wouldn't have to spend on a USB cable. Bluetooth, however, is not built into the printer and requires a $50+ optional external device. This is a total bait and switch on behalf of canon. Don't let this happen to you.
