For busy families on a budget who need one printer that can print two-sided text and image pages (using special double-sided photo paper) and crank out 300 sheets between refills, the Canon Pixma iP4200 should fill the bill.
It took about 5 minutes to set up the Canon Pixma iP4200, and we spent most of it installing the printer drivers and the optional software for organizing and editing images and printing Web pages.
Automatic duplexing is a valuable feature for a printer in this price class, and the implementation on the Canon Pixma iP4200 worked flawlessly.
This year's Pixmas use CLI-8 inks that run about $14.
Canon's support for the Pixma line includes a one-year limited warranty and a broad range of telephone and online support options.
