Got it free at Office Max this Black Friday. My dad needed a digital camera, just a cheap one, so we got him the $70 one, and if you bought that camera you got the printer for free after rebates.

I love it! I'm upgrading from a Lexmark 3200 and it's DEFINATELY an upgrade. It's at least 5 times faster at printing text than my old one... does a whole page in about 5 seconds. I printed a few borderless 4x6 photos too and am pleased with the quality. They seemed a bit darker than they were on my PC, then I realized I had the monitor brightness turned up while playing Counter-Strike Source to see people in darker areas, lol.

Not sure how ink friendly it is printing pictures and whatnot, but it doesn't seem like there's excessive amounts on the paper, and it's dry to the touch as soon as it comes out. I like the individual ink tanks... no more wasted ink!

Ah, so it does use individual ink tanks. I was wondering because of this deal:

Yep... individual tanks. That's not a bad deal, but you DO have to buy pretty much a whole computer to get that extra $80 off from them.
