As a student, i wanted a printer of which i could print out word documents and pages from the internet, aswell as the occasional photo without breaking the bank. The Canon Pixma iP1600 ticked all those boxes. It was extremely easy to set up, just plug it in, follow the onscreen instructions and you're done, the printer is ready and software is loaded. The accompanying software is brilliant...photos are so easy to print, its just like using a photo kiosk in a chemist! Canon Easy-WebPrint makes it extremely easy to print from the internet with a click of a button.
Although the product was slightly larger than i wanted, it was so light-weight that transporting and moving it about was no problem. Also note that the product does not include a paper tray or usb cable, but for the price I can't complain!
Overall if you're looking for a printer for the same uses as i was, choose this one, its great value for money!
