4 out of 5 stars Printer drivers allow fast printing over network   July 27, 2010
Clam80 (New York)
Printer setup was easy and print quality is as good as I expect from Canon.
I purchased this printer to replace a Canon i960 which lasted over six years until one of the colors stopped printing. I was both pleased and surprised at how much better the current printer driver works in my network.
The priter is attached to a Win7 64 bit computer and is networked to two XP computers. Response is immediate and printing is much faster through the network than it was with my old i960. That alone was reason enough for me to upgrade to this printer.



4 out of 5 stars After two months..   July 26, 2010

This is a great printer for the price. We got ours from another vendor on a one-day sale for $45 including tax and shipping. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover standard (full) ink cartriges came with such an inexpensive printer. If all the cartridges emptied at once, it would be cheaper to just throw this printer away and buy a new one because you get $70 worth of ink with the printer.

I don't expect that a printer this inexpensive will last many years, but at this price, who cares? We just have to be careful not to stock up on ink too much, because ink is the only real cost to owning inkjet printers, so you don't want to buy any ink that you won't use.

I cannot speak to ink consumption because we are still on the original ink cartridges. However, it can't be too bad because we have printed quite a few large photos. I went to the Cannon website to use my 'new owner discount' to buy spare ink. I got a complete set of colors and a box of three blacks because they would throw in two packages of photo paper with that package. On sale I paid $120 for the ink (gulp). From now on, I will buy ink only as I need it.

The only problem that we have experienced is that the top feeder where you put thick or photo paper does not always catch the paper, so you have to punch the page feed button to get it to try again.

We had been using an old HP722 in our home for over a decade. It was a great workhorse printer but there were no Windows7 64bit drivers for that printer, so it was inconvenient that some of the computers in our house could not share the old printer.

This printer prints beautiful photos fast and almost silently. This is the quietest printer I have ever owned. Cannon says the photos will last 100 years if you use Cannon ink and paper. Text on plain copier paper is crisp and very black. Draft mode text is also very good.

I have bought several HP inkjets for work and for the kids at college, and HP tries to load a library of crappy software onto your computer. Invariably, not all of the HP software works properly so it hangs up your computer. The Cannon software that came with this loaded quickly and runs lean and fast.

I came here today to order a second iP4700 for a daughter to take to grad school. The big heavy HP "business inkjet" that she used as an undergrad needs a $70 print head. That printer used big, HP plotter style ink cartridges so her ink cost was very low. It was fast, but it was a big noisey monster that would not print decent photos. I don't want to invest more in that monster. This is a much better personal printer.



5 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Price and more!   July 25, 2010

Just got this as a second printer. Set-up did take time, but when it hit a bad file, it automatically got it off the Internet and continued without a hitch. Print speed...outstanding! Built-in print layouts super, even on 4"x 6" paper you can do multiple prints!Need an inexpensive photo printer that does not produce inexpensive looking prints. This is the one!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Color Photographs   July 25, 2010

I have owned three Canon printers, iP5000, MP620 and this one (iP4700) which has the best color so far. It does a good job for an inkjet printer but does consume a lot of ink. I have an HP Officejet Pro 8000 which does very good work but is so slow for photos as to make it not worth the wait. This printer is used only for photo's and as stated is very good for everday photographs. I would recommend it for good quality and ease of use.


3 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous models   July 24, 2010

I replaced an IP3000 which was the best printer I have used in years. I had a S450 prior which was also great.Lexmark's and HP's have been more expensive to purchase and maintain. The Lexmarks had inferior print quality and reliability problems to boot.I have run almost a million pages through several printers. I lost my ip3000 in a power outage. I suspect that this triggered a circuit which could be reset or replaced. Tech support was useless. However my failing eyesight has prevented me from being able to completely disassemble the old printer.

For the new ip4700,I was disappointed by the minute ink cartridges. This printer also takes longer to start printing than my precious printers. Warning Do not use the driver cd: download the driver. This printer is slow to start printing but with the cd driver it took over a minute, now it takes about 6 seconds. The print quality is no better than my old s450 and ip3000, which were good. I do not print photos, but primarily advertising material.
