  Strengths: Fast prints, very good qualitiy for a desktop printer.

  Weaknesses:No USB cable provided, but you can buy one at Big Lots thats 10 Ft long for $4 so no biggie. Ink as with ALL printers isexpensive.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a very good printer for the price. If your looking for an afortable high quality desktop printer for printing normal stuff and ocasionaly a borderless photo or something then this is the printer for you. Make sure to have a USB cable if you want to get printing right away as it is not provided Have Funn :)

  Strengths:

  Weaknesses:no cable

  Overall Evaluation: There was no cable provided to connect to computer. The fine print on box and in directions indicated the cable was not provided, but didn't indicate what type to get. Web searched for 30 minutes to find out it needed a USB A/B cable and that cost $30. So the good printer was not as inexpensive as I was led to believe.

  Strengths: Fast printer; nice document results; photos look better than expected

  Weaknesses:Slight difficulty in setting up drivers; Canon's software is very bare bones; expensive ink although you can buy generic ink; no usb cable

  Overall Evaluation: Great printer for the price. Setting up the printer was easy (like installing ink carts/printer head), but when I had to install it on the computer it was a bit difficult. I wanted to install the latest driver from the Canon website, but there were no clear instructions and I could not get the install to work. I just installed the drivers that came on the CD-ROM. I'm using Windows 2000. Could have been a faulty file on their site, haven't tried updating the driver yet. Printer did not come with a USB cable but that's not a problem since I had a few spare cables. Documents (black & white/color) look excellent. I was surprised at how great photos looked. My wife uses a Canon i950 Photo printer and that prints almost perfect pictures. I didn't expect the i455's photos to look as nice as they do (of course not nearly as good as the i950, but good enough). The Canon "Easy Photo Print" software is very generic and has the basic tools to get your photo on paper. It's not an advanced software but it's good enough for simple tasks. Summary: Great printer and very reliable thus far. If you are in need of a good "all around printer" that still prints great looking photos, I'd recommend picking it up. Right now best price is around $72-$74.
