 Good product at a great price. Thanks July 28, 2008
We have had such bad luck with our old brand of printers that we have been really pleased with this product. The print quality is excellent and works for all our needs.
 Above average printer, but missing tray for CD/DVD printing July 25, 2008
Ok, so this is a nice printer. My biggest beef is that it doesn't come with a tray to print CDs and DVDs which is why I purchased the printer in the first place. It was another $22.50 through a reseller on eBay.
Someone mentioned that the earlier versions of the ip4500 had the tray included, but in recent shipments Canon had left this item out in USA bound printers. Something about licensing issues with Epson.
Whatever the reason, it's a slight pain, but for the total price, well worth the effort.

I bought this to replace a workhorse Canon that I had. The old one had the same basic casing/tray, was cheap, and worked great. This printer is on the higher end in price, and functionally I'd rather have my old one. First of all, it has an added black ink for what I suspect is improved photo printing. This would be nice if the printer used that one (or allowed me to switch to it) when the main black cartridge became empty, but I'm also concerned that it will dry up since I don't do much photo printing. It is still completely full. The other colors get used enough printing web pages. This printer is also very slow to start up.
Finally, I am not happy with how it opens up. This really is my main gripe. They upgraded an old model using pretty much the same number of parts and they made it worse. On my old model the front facing used to click open and click shut with a push. On the new model, to open it you have to lift the top up and pull the front facing out. Adding paper to the paper tray is now a pain in the rear, and keeping the front closed when I am not printing isn't worth the effort. Also, I can't leave stuff on top of the printer anymore. Then the paper tray itself is virtually identical to the old one except the plastic piece that covers over the exposed part no longer fits in as easily. The quality is the same, but.
Also after 4 months, the part that moves the ink chamber up a little is wobbly and needs to be held in sometimes for the printer to print (easy fix with tape if it becomes a real problem).
Best Inkjet Printer Ever Made! July 20, 2008

I'm so done with HP printers, so I bought the Canon Pixma iP4500 Photo Inkjet Printer, and I would recommend this printer to everyone. Don't try to save a buck on a cheap inkjet printer, spend the cash on Canon Pixma iP4500, and you will also agree it was money well spent. Love this printer!!! Added bonus, it has a cool front load paper tray, and a rear paper feed. Plus the ink cartridges illuminate red when installed correctly. I could go on and on about this great printer, but I won't, just buy one and be happy that you finally have a printer that works great.

I got this printer for free after rebate from Apple (with the purchase of a macbook). It got me pretty excited when it arrived. It's good size and REAL sleek looking. Installing was very easy, as i followed exactly what the instructions said. I didnt use it a whole lot yet, but each time i used, i was astonished at its speed. Though it's an inkjet, it's got a laser printer speed. Even with color, it's very fast. afterall, it's a Canon, and im sure tho i havent tried a lot yet, the quality of photo printing and etc are excellent. my big recommendation.
