The CP-400 is small and compact and looks good. It's incredibly easily to assemble, requiring the user only to insert the toner cartridge, put the paper in the paper holder and insert this and finally plug it in.
Having the ability to print from both PC and directly from your digital camera is brilliant. Connections are made via a standard USB cable (these aren't supplied and you will need a different cable for PC to Printer and Camera to Printer).
In the case of connecting it to your camera, I have a Canon Powershot A75, you literally plug the cable in, the blue light flashes on the camera and it's a one-button press to print. In case of PC to Printer you need to install the included drivers and software but after that, again it's just press the print button and away you go. One nice advantage of printer from the camera via the cable to the printer means you can hold the camera and manipulate the photo you want to print, i.e. on a docking station you need to get down to the level of the printer to do all this.
Watching the printer is an experience it itself. The printer drags the paper through itself three times, applying the different colours, yellow, red and finally blue. The picture is then ejected and seems to still develop for a couple of seconds afterwards, i.e. let it dry and finish before handling it too much.
The quality is great and gives an excellent reproduction of the picture you've originally taken. The printer is at the budget end of the market so the picture quality is not perfect but certainly for family snaps it's fine.
It's small, it's cheap and most importantly it works first time and the expression on the faces of my parents as we took their photo with their grandchildren and then minutes later they were holding the photo was work the outlay in itself.
