  Excellent Printer October 3, 2008
This so far has been a great printer, I really like the dual feed capabilities. I keep photo paper in the back and regular 8x11 in the front cartridge and with a touch of a button select which tray I want to print from.
NOTE( the printer does not come with the USB cable) I wish AMAZON pointed this out when I purchased it!!!! I set up the printer one rainy Saturday morning and then had to run out the Best Buy for a $35 USB cable...
Needed a printer October 1, 2008
This is a replacement printer which turned out to be an upgrade. Exceptionally good picture printing. Very happy with it.
 Good Printer ... but Auto Power feature impacts other USB devices September 21, 2008
I am very satisfied with the iP4500 EXCEPT for the Auto Power feature. The Auto Power feature works as advertised, BUT with Auto Power enabled (in the printer's driver), I experience severe performace problems trying to read from other USB devices. With Auto Power enabled, all reads from other USB devices eventually fail, and the Windows System Event log gets filled with Event ID 51 errors. Once the Auto Power feature is disabled, read operations (to other USB devices) have no problems. I have reported this problem to Canon Tech Support, and they are "looking into it". I do not know if this problem occurs with other Canon printers, but if you have an iP4500 and enable the Auto Power feature, be aware that you may experience failures when trying to read from other USB devices.
Great Printer Great Price September 20, 2008
Great inexpensive printer. Canon has excellent quality. Great text printing, better than I imagined. To my eyes, it is as good as a laser, if you use inkjet paper. Plus color capability. I Have not printed enough to say if it is expensive for ink, but the printer is practically free at this price! Photos looks great, but I use it mostly for all around printing. Great Amazon price, fast free delivery with Amazon Prime. I would highly recommend.
Canon Pixma iP4500 photo printer September 17, 2008
I recommend this product. It was easy to set up and use within 15 minutes out of the box. I'm a serious amature photographer and this is the best printer for ease of use but especially for print QUALITY. I have owned HP Photosmart printers (2) and an Epson photo printer. All dedicated to photo print jobs. All high quality machines. All did a good job. I compared 2 photos on 3 different brands of paper with the same 2 photos that I had printed on my other printers. The first thing I noticed was that the prints (full 8 1/2 X 11) came out in about 5 seconds and they were dry. When I compared the prints, the Canon gave me slightly more vivid colors and finer detail. This Canon does a GREAT job. And the price is right; especially if you can purchase it on line. I give it 5 stars.
