Amazon.com Product Description

Looking for an unbeatable combination of blazing speed and high resolution? The PIXMA iP5200 Photo Printer can produce a beautiful photo lab quality 4" x 6" borderless print in about 36 seconds. Plus, its USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface enables the fastest photo transfers possible from your computer. This is one super-charged printer.

Exceptional performance doesn't stop there. The iP5200 photo printer delivers an amazing resolution of up to 9,600 x 2,400 color dpi, for detail and clarity unmatched by comparable printers. To achieve this, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a next-generation 3,584-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as one picoliter. Also, the ContrastPLUS 5-color ink system--four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink-- produces true-life photos with a wide color palette, along with laser-quality text.

Want to print directly from your PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder? It does that, too--just connect and print! This PC-free process saves time and eliminates the need to be tied to your computer. And if needed, the iP5200 photo printer will even brighten subjects' faces automatically, for better results when printing direct.

The iP5200 photo printer provides you with smart printing options built-in. The dual paper path allows you to keep photo paper stored in one tray and plain paper in the other, so you can print photos or documents without having to switch paper. To save paper, you can print two-sided using the auto sheet feeder or the paper cassette. You can even create two-sided photos using Canon Photo Paper Plus Double Sided in 5 x 7 and 8.5 x 11 -inch sizes.

The Canon ChromaLife100 system combines the PIXMA iP5200 Photo Printer's FINE print head technology and newly developed inks with select Canon photo papers, with results rivaling that of many conventional photos. These beautiful photos will also last up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album.

1 out of 5 stars Nice Printing But Terrible Paper Handling.......2007-05-13

After only a few weeks of use, paper started jamming, in this printer.
This problem only got worse with time.

I am currently on my second unit (Canon sends you a used/refurbished unit as a replacement) and still having the same problem. Paper randomly jams in the transport and the printer has to be turned upside down and opened, in the back, to try and get the torn paper out.

Sometimes it just tears the edges of the paper, like Jaws.
This printer prints text and graphics well but otherwise it's been a real lemon. The paper handling on this unit really stinks! I had a Canon IP series printer before and it worked well for almost two years.

The Ip5200 has been a major bust! Consumer Reports was dead wrong about this unit or did I just get two lemons in a row?

5 out of 5 stars Best Quality and some advice.......2007-03-07

I do alot of scrapbooking. I scan my old pictures, burn them for safekeeping and then reprint them on this printer they look wonderful. I have even scanned objects such as lace doilies and printed the out for my scraping. It is easy to use and does not take up much space on my desk. I get most of my photo paper at places like Big Lots and Aldi's. The Dollar Stores I went to recently have acid free photo paper as well and this printer does a great job on it as well. The ink cartridges are better bought in the 4 pk containing all the colors rather than singularly. It is much cheaper on you.
This Printer is worth every dollar. I recommend it to any one professional and otherwise.

3 out of 5 stars Canon PIXMA iP5200 Photo Printer.......2007-02-27

An excellent printer for color prints. However, if your use is 90% black and white and only 10% color, there are better printers.

5 out of 5 stars Great printer for the money!.......2007-01-10

I purchased this printer for the office because I had such good luck with a similar model at home. There is consistant quality in everything I print on this machine. It is especially reliable for matching the colors expertly on photos and graphics. I would highly recommend this Canon printer to anyone.

1 out of 5 stars Driver and software incompatibilities?.......2006-08-14

Please Google "Print Queue problem iP5200." Exactly the same problem I experienced is described by some other unfortunate people. The problem is that after printing a job, it stays in Print Queue for several minutes, and the second job cannot be started immediately. Those who reported the problem on internet did not get any solution. Of course, they and I contacted Canon. Those who posted the problem on internet and I used the latest printer driver. I have Windows XP Home with all updates installed. The reviewers here didn't seem to have this serious problem. I don't know why a small number of people experience the problem. One person who reported the problem on internet reinstalled Windows system without solving the problem. I didn't go that far.

After exchanging several e-mails with Canon, it turned out that a source of the problem is that I was connecting iP5200 to an add-on PCI card. By connecting to a USB port originally installed on the PC, the print queue problem disappeared. But this is not the entire story. I have Canon ScanLide 30. Although the driver works, utility programs such as CanoScan Toolbox stopped working just after the print queue problem disappeared. Again, you can find problems reported on internet by searching "Scan Lide twain error message." I can still scan by using the scanning program that comes with Windows. However, I need to find the right brightness and contrast for myself. You can find solutions for the Twain problem on internet. However, I have not tried yet. I am afraid if I make ScanLide 30 work, the original print queue problem of iP5200 appears again and I will need to find a more fundamental solution.

4 out of 5 stars not as long lasting as described by canon.......2007-09-13

this doesn't have the output that canon says it does. The quality is amazing for photos, however

5 out of 5 stars I love my Canon Pixma printers and CLI-8 4-pack ink.......2007-09-13

I have been very happy with my Canon Pixma printers. I currently have one in my office and one at my home office. I bought my office machine last summer. Then, this past winter, when my HP printer at my home office died, I replaced it with a Canon, as well. I've broken off my long term relationship with HP and have never looked back. Not once. While I recognize this is not a review about the printers, the fact remains that the printers are worthless without the ink. One thing I like about the Canon pixma ink cartridges is that they are priced significantly lower than the cartridges I purchased for my HP. The reason is simple: Instead of one color ink cartridge, there are 3 color cartridges. When the yellow runs out, simply replace the yellow. In the long run, this ends up being a lot more economical. Additionally, the print head is installed in the printer itself, not in the individual print cartridges, which also saves money. The CLI-8 4-pack is the best way to purchase these cartridges and I have not found a lower price than that offered at Amazon.com. I hate running out of ink, so I keep a couple packages on hand. When I am running low, I place an order online. Shipping and handling are free, there is no sales tax, and the price can't be beat. And yes, I am thrilled with the print quality of my Pixmas. I'm a Realtor. I print MLS sheets, letters, marketing materials, glossy brochures, and even post cards in limited quantity. I am particular about the quality of print and have been more than satisfied with the cartridges and printers. Only once did I have a problem with an ink cartridge. I kept receiving an error message telling me that the wrong tank was in the printer. I kept taking it out and putting it back in, turning the printer off, then on again. (Did the hokey pokey and I turned myself around....) Finally called Canon only to find out that the print cartridge was defective. They sent me a new one, so I can't really complain. Canon printers and ink ROCK!

5 out of 5 stars Great price.......2007-09-10

For some reason my local OfficeMax is always out of stock so I wind up buying each cartridge separately which is more expensive.
I've never had a problem getting this through Amazon. And, they beat Office Max's price.
You can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Pixma.......2007-09-10

Since this was the genuine Canon ink it worked exactly as expected. Shipping was very fast. My only complaint is that Amazon tends to over package small items such as this. Perhaps that is a UPS requirement?

5 out of 5 stars Canon TriColor ink - good deal.......2007-09-10

I bought the four-pack for my Canon Pixma iP4300 from Amazon because the price was good, and they offer free shipping on orders over $25. Also, I have gotten less than satisfying results from off-brand ink cartridges. I bought a high-rated printer to get good pictures, so why go with ink that is a couple of dollars cheaper? Most of my online shopping is through Amazon, and I have never been disappointed.

Ringer Volume Control allows you to adjust ringer volume from low to high or turns it off. Basic telephone features such as dialing and ringing will continue to work during a power failure.

            Amazon.com Review

            The huge buttons on AT&T's big button caller ID/call waiting telephone help prevent misdialing and make a playful decorating statement. With additional features, such as caller ID, you always know who's calling you.

            Setting up most of the 953's features was easy--we just plugged in the AC adapter and the phone cord. Programming the memory dialing and setting the caller ID home and local area codes was intuitive and did not require us to consult the manual.

            When we first plugged in the phone, the device's LCD screen read, "12:00 a.m. January 1." This seemed to be a clock, as it displayed the hours and minutes, moving from 12:00 to 12:01, and so on. However, it was in fact an initial time/date stamp--a feature that records the time and date of a call along with the caller's name and phone number. Although the information was updated with incoming calls, we found the display confusing at first and wished that the 953 allowed us to reset this stamp manually, as other AT&T products do.

            In all other areas, setup went without a hitch. In our tests, the phone sounded clear, and the backlight made the LCD screen easy to read.

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent Phone!!.......2001-05-23

            I ordered this phone for my home office and was so pleased with it that I ordered a second one for our kitchen to replace the cordless phone that always seems to be in my daughter's room. The display is very readable and all of the features seem to be very intuitive. I think that this phone would still be a great value at twice the price!

            4 out of 5 stars Great phone!.......2000-07-05

            I wanted a phone with caller ID/call waiting, a good screen with plenty of information, and intuitive use. That's exactly what I got. I haven't had *any* of the poor reception problems that another reviewer indicated (that person might have just gotten a bad apple). The handset is very comfortable on the face, the sound is clear (people have even asked me "Have you gotten a new phone? You sound great."), and the use of the Caller ID, Call waiting, and volume controls is very intuitive. Also, the screen is lit and stays lit, so in the dark, you can always see who is calling you, even if you miss the first or second ring (One of my CID/CW phones doesn't light at all, and my other one only lights up for the first ring- so this new phone is much appreciated.) Something else I like is when you pick the handset up, it shows the last number you dialed and asks if you want to redial it- if you do, you just hit redial. No more guessing who you called last when you hit redial.

            My only complaints are as follows: I wish the cord from the handset to the base were longer- it's so short that I can't stand next to my nightstand and talk on the phone without lifting the base off the nightstand and I'm hardly Shaquille O'neal (but this is obviously a problem easily remedied). Also, with my other caller ID/Call waiting phones I can punch the number into the phone without picking up the handset, check it on the screen, and THEN pick up the handset, causing the phone to automatically dial the number through(if that makes sense).

            Those are minor complaints- I highly recommend this phone, especially for the price.

            4 out of 5 stars Good Phone BUT ..........1999-12-25

            I loved the large buttons however the quality of reception has much room for improvement. At times the phone fades in and out during a conversation and makes you think you were cut off -- yet you weren't ... it's just the bad reception of the phone. Overall it's not a bad phone, in fact one of the better phones I've owned. Just wanted others to be aware of the reception problem.

            5 out of 5 stars Best Phone I've ever used!.......1999-10-28

            I really love this phone and depend on it to not only tell me who called, but when they called. I find the quality to be first-rate, and LOVE the larger keys because they allow my less than nimble fingers to dial it right every time.
