The iX6820 is just the iX6520 with wireless. I have both models, one at work and one at home. The graphic quality is exactly the same. Again the newer model is just with wireless added.

My son loves it for the quality of the printing, wireless and ability to print 11x17" sheets. He attends a design school in Pasadena, CA.

I bought one yesterday. Will post a review in a few days once I have tried everything out. So far, works fine out the box printing from a camera memory card. If price is everything to you, get an iP6600D at the closeout price.

You have a point there but to me MX860 is a more attractive machine than MX850...and I really want to have WI-FI even though I can go as far as using a wireless bridge, I don't want to. Plus it remains to be seen which machine produces better quality prints for those occasions when I do want a lab-like print out. For now, there is not enough reviews out there from sites like CNET.Although interestingly enough, looking at the specs I see that MX850 has a lot more print nozzles then MX860...wonder what that means in terms of quality or maybe that's why 860 is slower. In either case, I'll give 860 a shot. But if Wi-FI wasn't a "really-want-to-have" feature for me, I would consider MX850.

Per Canon tech support - no. I do have a PIXMA iP2702 (part of the iP2700 series) for free - only asking shipping cost. It's refurbished (Amazon) - box hasn't been opened. A connection line is missing. Thought I needed to replace my current printer - ended up I didn't need to.

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

I've never used the Canon printer asked about. I'm very happy with the quality and speed of my Epson 1430. My only complaint is that despite it being Ipad and IPhone compatible it won't work with mine. My Apple stuff works fine with my sons HP. I have had no support from Epson Support. Last time I tried all I got with an older gentleman with an attitude who said I needed to go Apple for support. I am 81 years old myself but have been using printers for over 15 years and being an ex pro photographer I'm very picky about definition and color balance. The 1430 is great improvement over my 1280 which I used for over 9 years trouble free J. Smith

I have a Cannon Pixma printer that I bought here on Amazon a year ago and it has been excellent for me. I remember them having a chart with bullet points showing you which models have which features, so just look at that and see which printer you like the best!

I was blown away with the picture quality while watching netflix. Now if I could only figure out what I did wrong with installing my printer! :( I'm tryig to get it to work wirelessly. When I print test pattern or anything it says it's going and complete but nothing prints up. Anyone have any ideas for me?

What listing are you referring to? Most of these printers on Amazon are being sold as new. There are a few listed in the used section, but the prices are the same as a new one so I don't know why you would even consider buying a used one.

This is the printer you need, I've had mine for a couple months now and I love it. However, you might want to check out the compatible ink cartridges for the printer instead of the Canon brand. Reason being, it does go through ink a little faster than the Epson Workforce all-in-ones, but with half-cost ink, the cost of printing is... half cost :) There are a lot of inks out there but this particular brand has built-in computer chips to show the ink levels just like the brand name cartridges. I just ordered a set and will make a review after I've used them. Also, with the auto duplex feature, have your kids print on both sides of one piece of paper if they can to save on paper cost. Try this link for the ink: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PGI225-CLI226-Compatible-Cartridges/dp/B004WPXS9O/ref=sr_1_17?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316424592&sr=1-17 Good luck!

Tom, I purchased the T520, 36" about a year ago. the Product and Factory # as shown on the tag of my printer is CQ893 - 64001. Mine does not have a "Model" #. The configuration is as shown on the HP website. 1 gig, stand, roll spindle and starter ink cartridges as described. Printer was delivered two days after the order was placed (free shipping). To get a project out quickly I started printing wireless via my network with the intent of cabling later. Wireless worked so well I have not bothered with the cabling. I typically do not praise products, but contrary to some other HP experiances, I have been very pleased with this printer. Speed and quality are both good and the horror stories about ink usage seem to be exagerated a bit. I typically print line drawings (large building construction plans) but have printed a few Google type maps with good results. For take-off drawings lower the print quality for ink savings. My usage averages about 20 sheets a week (size D & E). Seems to be a solid machine. Good luck...Bob

Sherry, while this is a guess, when I ordered the 6500A, it was for the wireless connectivity and I cannot imagine a scenario where the same model would require different ink cartridges.

Thank you. I realized this last night when I read Larry Kenyon's review. I realized then that D. Shaw was only speaking of printing photos. Thank you for confirming that for me. I am so glad that I did not order this printer since the functionality of printing from my iPad would have been my only reason for getting it! Now I am trying to decide whether to get one of the current HP e-printers, or to wait a while and see what new printing options become available for the iPad.

The HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer was passed over to me by my grandson. It was purchased a few years ago, and my daughter did not keep a lot of the paperwork (instructions, specifications or parts list) that comes in the original box at purchased.Most important, I'm not computer-savvy at all; and can't answer your question, from the top of my head, at this time.I hope you get your answer from a more printer knowledgable person.I'M SORRY!!James M.

I only own the 2540, but just scanning the specs, it seems as if the 2542 is faster. I can't see any other notable difference: both offer wireless connectivity and the ability to do basic printing jobs as well as scanning and copying. They use the same inks, and the printing & scanning resolution seems similar. You may want to ask HP what the differences between them are (vs whether they are basically the same device). The paper feed on the 2542 may be different? But I can't tell without having one here, and suspect that many others out there own either one or the other but not both, and so may have a tough time addressing this question.

My printer is HP Deskjet #1510. I had a HP printer years ago and then a Lexmark. I hated the Lexmark. I am pleased with my new HP #1510 and can't comment on #1512 nor 2540 as I don't have either. I am not real smart with these things. I must admit it. I just know I am pleased with my latest printer.

I would not buy this printer. It worked with my Mac and iPad but the picture quality was horrible. I am a longtime Canon user and was very disappointed. I returned this unit and purchased the HP PS 6520. It works great with my iPhone, MB, iPad and PC. Picture quality on prints is fantastic, scanner works great, setup is easy. It you can't find this unit on Amazon, go directly to HP's site. That's what I did. By the way, the replacement cartridges are a deal on the HP site and include free shipping.
