I boght an equivlant HP but couldn't never get it to start, I called Tech support and they told me after hours on the phone that the printer was defective and they will send me a replacement a recondionted one. I took back to store and got the canon. I was very happy with this printer, I have it conected through a wireless network and it is easy to use, fast with great printing results.

After upgrading to a Windows 7 - 64bit PC, I found that both my old Lexmark printer and Canon scanner were not compatible with the new OS.
Researching this Canon MP560 unit, there was conflicting info about it's compatibility with Windows 7, 64 bit, but I decided to take a chance since Canon did have drivers for 64 bit Win-7 OS posted.
I am happy report that using the driver and MP-Navigator software download from the Canon website, without using the software disk that came with the unit, I had a very easy and trouble-free installation of this MP560 on my Windows 7-64 system. Printing and scanning are working extremely well, much better and faster than my old printer and copier. Printing is very fast and copies are crisp and sharp.
Some information that may be helpful to others, since I could not confirm all these things by reading reviews before I made my purchase:
1. It works perfectly with Windows 7, 64 bit machines if you use the appropriate drivers/software downloaded from the Canon website.
2. Scanning resolution is available in 75, 150, 300, 600 and 1200 dpi. Some of these choices only show up if you switch to the "Advanced Mode" tab of the twain driver screen, but they are all available and the scanner will scan at 1200dpi resolution. On the box, it claims the scanner has a 2400dpi x 4800dpi scan capability, but I could not access anything higher than 1200dpi on any software. Perhaps this is a deficiency in the Win-7 driver/software, but the limit of 1200dpi is more than I need. Users hoping for the advertised 2400 x 4800 dpi may have to contact Canon to figure out how to actually get that advertised resolution.
3. The lid does lift up past the 90 degree angle, and is even removable. I needed this feature to be able to place tall boxes on the scanner bed to scan the labels. Many other scanners, including many of the other Canon Pixma line, can only open the lid about 70 degrees before they stop, and are not removable because they have controls in the lid. This one has the controls on the side flip-up compartment, allowing the lid to raise up fully, or be removed altogether if you need it.
4. When setting up the wireless network, the initial setup has to use the DHCP of your router to get an initial IP address. Once that is done, and it is communicating, you can reset the IP to a static IP address using any web browser to go to the printer's IP address, where you can change several settings, including the network IP. The "Canon IJ Network Tool" software utility also gives you this capability.
So far, I have found it to be a great printer/scanner and well worth the price. It is clever enough to open the front output tray if you forget to do it when making a copy or printing. The dual paper feed (rear feeder or bottom tray) is a nice bonus.
It is still new, so I can't speak to reliability or ink usage, but so far I am extremely pleased with the performance, as well as the ease of setup.

Quick review: I chose this multi-function printer when upgrading from my PIXMA ip3000. This one had great features, was inexpensive, had individual ink tanks, and looked like a winner. After a week I'm not that happy with it. See the subject for main points. It's not quite bad enough to ship back for a refund, but I wouldn't recommend it.
[2010-01-26] Update: Note that this unit does not scan or copy legal documents, though it can print them. I think the specs are misleading, which say 'Paper Sizes 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10," Letter, Legal, U.S. #10 envelopes'. However, the on-screen docs (which you don't get until you buy it) say 'You can copy or scan the following originals. Size (W x L): Max. 8.5 x 11.7 inches'. FYI

I got this printer as a gift and have had it for about 1 month. It was easy to setup, including the wireless feature, which is why I wanted it. It's whisper quiet unlike my old Dell all-in-one. Print quality is good, though I think it could be better and I haven't printed any pictures as of yet. Has easy to use software, but I use Photoshop so I wont ever use it. The scanner feature is below par in my opinion. You can only scan up to 600 dpi and my old dell would scan up to 9600 dpi.. so that is disappointing for me because that is a feature I definitely use. I will have to invest is separate scanner now to get higher quality output for my work as I am a graphic designer. If just for home use, this is ideal and serves the purpose. If using for scanning and high quality output, I would say pass on it.. just my opinion.

I recommend this printer. Has almost everything that I want and is compact! Great features with duplexing. Scans and prints nicely (haven't used the faxed yet). Only one Con: (maybe I haven't figured it out yet) I can't feed multiple documents to "Scan" and have to put each document on the flat bed. Again, not sure if I am missing something. So, if this is important to you, just check into it. I am still pleased with my purchase and hope I am mistaken with the Scan issue.
