- Much slower print speed than promised
- Not great for photo printing
- No USB cable supplied
- It requires 2 black ink cartridges.
- The printer stops printing as soon as any of the colors run out of ink.
- B&W printing uses up your color ink.
- The manual states "Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified."
I own this and the PIXMA MP830 AIO Printer: They both use the same cartridges and one unique problem in addition to the above with both printers is that the chip in each one of these cartridges may perform far worse in generic ("Cheaper") cartridges reporting that you have used far more ink than what is present in the cartridge: The cartridge can be full or lightly used & report little or no ink left requiring an overide: Buyer beware in getting aftermarket cartridges!.


I read somewhere on the site that you needed confirmations of the problems.
Well I agree with 2 of the items listed above, the others I am not sure about.
The printer does stop printing as soon as any of the colors run out of ink and
I personally don't think the photo prints are that good.
BTW- Useful site, thanks to the admins or submitters for the phone info on the LG Tritan, it was helpful.
