Opinions on Canon All in One printers pleased

familyfitz

My Canon MP760 all in one has finally 'packed in' with the ink absorber full. This has been almost full since about May and altho reading up on possible ways how to overcome the problem rather than sending it back to Canon, we haven't attempted the job ourselves. To be honest, not being technically minded, I was prefering to get a new one once it 'froze' as is evidently the case one definately full.

I am going to phone Canon to price the return of the unit to be repaired however on assumption this won't be worth doing (based on google searches) I am seeking opinions on a replacement.

I know this ink absorber problem is a ploy by Canon to cost us money but we have been so pleased by the unit that we are willing to get another one.

I have been looking at the MP 610, 620 and even 630 and all have varying reviews.

Important things-
1. excellent quality printing in all aspects
2. individual ink cartridges (typically they will be different from my stockpile!)
3. reasonably quick and quiet
4. duplex printing.

Can give or take CD printing as never used it on current one.

Undecided on wireless - at moment printer is wired to desktop and laptop prints to it (when desktop switched on). Likely to have further two laptops in household over coming year.

Think that is it but if anyone can offer views on these three printers (and even best deals although will do some searching myself of course), I would be most grateful.

Of the requirement you list, I suspect that Duplex Printing is going to be the most difficult to satisfy unless you pay top whack. You almost never see information about how noisy they are, unless the reviewer noticed! Here is a side-by-side comparison you may not have come across...
