This printer was purchased for the purpose of crafting some family albums out of a few years' worth of digital photographs and so far, two months and a couple of hundred borderless 6X4 inch photos later, it has performed well.
It is easy to install into Windows XP (these things are never exactly as it says in the manual but overall it was fairly painless), and comes with some decent software. If you are like me you may never use software that comes free with hardware (apart from the driver of course), as you will have your own favourite imaging applications already. However, I must say that Canon's Easy Photo Print is a joy to use when rattling off large volumes of photos. It allows you to select, preview, adjust the cropping, and fix common defects such as red-eye instantly prior to printing.
While printing, status of the printer, ink etc. is clearly displayed. The software accurately detects problems (printer offline, cover open, no paper, front-tray-closed) and clear advice pop-ups to help rectify the given situation - disappearing automatically once the instructions have been carried out. When ink is running low such that it will affect the integrity of the image the printer refuses to continue - unlike my old printer that would struggle on, leaving you to scrutinise the quality of the results in order to decide when to change the ink. With this model, you know that you'll either get a perfect image or none at all. When changing the ink, the cartridge that has run out flashes to ensure you pull out the right one - a nice touch. Canon have used their experience to put together a very user friendly interface for their target home audience and it is a joy to use.
Printing is fast enough and the quality of photos matches what you would get if you took your digital copies to the local pharmacy, even on cheap photo paper (mine is £1.99 for 40 sheets from The Works). Colour cartridges started running low at around 75-100 photos, the black ink seems to last much longer. Of course, this printer handles your letters and documents (or more importantly, the kids colour-in sheets!) just as well.
You get cartridges with the printer. To get started you just need to buy separately paper and a USB cable (why do they always do that?). I purchased the Hama USB2.0 A-B Black cable also currently available on Amazon and it works fine.
In summary, I would have been happy if I'd paid over a hundred pounds for this printer so at this price it's a definite recommendation.

This replaced an Epson R340 a year old and nothing but trouble with the print heads! This canon was half the price and does exactly the same,CD printing etc. It is extremly fast and quality on any media is excellent.This printer at £59 is an exceptional buy so get one now,you won't be dissapointed!

Been using about a month. It produces excellent prints, and to date printed (standard)about 40 A4 and 35 6X4 without changing a cartdidge.
The quality of prints is superb, most of my photos (7mega pix)were printed without colour adjustment, just brightness/contrast, plus the usual digital imaging controls, cut and paste, cropping, moving, etc.etc
It's a quiet machine compared to my previous, Lexmark, HP, and Brother, and Epson. And fast compared to these printers.
All my print paper loading has been loaded via the tray, in front at the base.
I have used the CD printing facility, and (provided you use the printable disks)it's faultless.
I have not used the Canon software, as most of my work is through a digital imaging software package (not Adobe, I could not re-produce accurate prints using Adobe PS6).
Finally, and contrary to some of the reviews, setting-up the printer cartridges and assembly is not straight-forward. So caution here. And when loading the tray, don't forget that when loaded with A4 the tray protrudes about 4" from the front base,so just insert until it clicks.
