Dear subscribers,

You would do me a big favor if You would tell me Your experiences and
opinions regarding the printers mentioned above.
By the way: Would buying separate parts make a big difference in
quality? It is for my parents and an all-in-one looks easier for
them, for they are not that young anymore ;-). But if their quality
is poor, I would reconsider this.

Thanks in advance!

Sincere greetings,

Well, I got a 2110 a couple of weeks ago. So far the quality has been fine.
I've not tested all of the features/quality settings yet though. It copies
and scans fairly easily and with decent quality. On standard "normal"
quality it prints text or text/color fairly fast. My one dislike is the
software has a large install print for a bunch of printer/scanning software.
That and the "auto-detect" status program seems kind of pointless when it
tells me "! printer is not working or connected!" Well, duh its not turned
on. Just seems a waste of ram when windows tells me the same thing (not that
much ram tho).

Anyway, for $99 after rebate I couldn't turn it down and I've been happy
with my purchase so far. I don't have any experience with the cannon models.
My old cannon inkjet was a good printer but then I never put it through
heavy use. I did get some advice from a printer repair tech that cannon's
quality is down these days.

HTH,

J.S.
