Editorial Review:
This is an all-in-one powerhouse. Thanks to its patented print head technology and 5-color ink system, you'll create spectacular photos with 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution1, and fast: a photo lab quality 4" x 6" borderless print takes only about 21 seconds. Copies will be remarkably true to the originals, and when scanning photos you'll produce impressive 4800-dpi results, with vibrant 48-bit color depth. The built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) holds up to 35 originals and enables automatic duplexing, so you do not have to wait, and then manually turn over your 2-sided original. This versatile machine is networkable via an Ethernet connection. You can also print photos right from memory cards - selecting and enhancing images on the high-resolution 2.5" color TFT display - or directly from a digital camera.
I believe this printer will give me many years of reliable performance. The reason I say this is that my old Cannon Pixma MP780 is literally in three major pieces now. I disassembled this earlier generation Cannon to see how well it was put together and I was impressed with the internal workmanship of this line of printers possess. I believe the MX850 has this quality of workmanship and it also.
I was also pleasantly surprise at how fast the new printer prints.
I'm hoping that the new printer will allow me to refill its inks cartridges without getting an error message. I was able to do this on the
Cannon Pixma MP780 fairly easily and it saved me a lot of money life for the printer. These printer cartridges appear to be the same size but they have a chip which concerns me a bit.
The only reason I did not give this printer a five star rating is because my lack of experience with it. I believe five years from now I'll be a link of this printer 10 star rating if that were possible.
Oh - and when I say nothing works, I mean NOTHING. You can't even SCAN a picture to your PC/Laptop. WHO designed that? So the first time I ran out of ink, I learned the hard way when I went to scan in an old pic.
Like I said, I do love it when it is functioning, just make sure you keep plenty of extra ink on hand!

happy and impressed with this printer
My Cannon Pixma MP780 finally gave out after five or six years of good use. I didn't need all the features on the MX850 but it looked like the next generation MP780 so I decided to purchase it.

Awesome, but one piece of info they don't tell you...
I love this printer/fax/copier/scanner. Everything functions wonderfully and easily... when it functions! You MUST keep a few extra ink cartridges on hand, because NOTHING will work when one cartridge is empty. Crazy because it requires 2 black ink cartridges - and if one runs out, better have another on hand if you want it to keep printing.

printer review
the printer has worked very well thus far. It was rec'd as promised and in perfect condition. 2008-11-17
Great value, very reliable
I have two PIXMA printers and they are consistently reliable and produce good results. I'd happily buy another Canon printer. 2008-11-15
To Complex
The book which comes with the product stinks. (This is in part because I am dumb when it comes to this type of product.) The serial # which is required when you register the product is "hidden" deep within the "guts" of the product. I purchased this becauese of the Consumer Reports write up on it. I hope I will progress in my knowledge to use it and all of its functions. 2008-11-15
