Amazon.com Product Description: Designed to print, copy, and scan quickly and easily, the Canon Pixma MP210 is an all-in-one unit that gives professional results in less time. With this compact and versatile machine you can create a beautiful 4-by-6-inch borderless print in approximately 46 seconds, and even print photos from a digital camera without a computer! The MP210 also produces copies that are truer to your originals, while its unique Z-Lid lifts approximately 1.5 inches vertically to deliver clear, complete scans--even of thick books or magazines. In addition, included software helps you enhance photos and create a range of albums, calendars, and stickers, and the MP210's stylish design complements any workspace.
The MP210 uses precision ink nozzles to create high resolution photos up to 4800 x 1200 color dots per inch (dpi). At the same time, microscopic two-picoliter-sized color ink droplets produce sharp, finely detailed photos. Moreover, your photos can last up to 100 years when you use this system with Canon inks and photo papers. When it comes to scanning, the MP210 delivers up to 600 dpi with vibrant 48-bit color depth, so all your images will catch the eye. Short on time? The MP210 boasts black print speeds of up to 22 pages per minute (ppm) and up to 17 ppm for color, as well as 22 copies per minute (cpm) for black and 17 cpm for color. You can even copy or scan thick items, like heavy books or magazines, that do not lie flat on the platen.
The MP210 is incredibly user friendly and easy to operate. Just capture an image with a PictBridge-ready digital camera/DV camcorder, then connect and print. You can also rely on the dual-color gamut processing technology to automatically optimize quality based on the type of originals you are copying. Finally, the display's numbers consist of up to seven large LED segments, for easier reading and operation.

I wish I had the option of leaving a 0 star review I purchased this item in June (4 months ago) and have printed approximately 500 pages of black and white traditional pages on it. Yesterday while attempting to print another one page document, I got a message saying there was an error and to retry or contact a service center. After retrying according to their instructions approximately 5 times I received the same error message. I contacted customer support and after five minutes they told me that 1. the printer only has a 90 day warranty which I have already exceeded 2. apparently the paper won't load and they can't fix this item because it would cost more to fix than the item is worth 3. that i would need to replace the printer. Needless to say I was livid. I spoke with three different Canon reps and finally managed to get a customer support agent who is sending me a replacement printer at no charge. I'll be using that one until it too gives up the ghost and will NEVER be buying a Canon limited warranty item again. Continually during my discussions with the agents they told me this printer was meant for limited use (which I believe my usage represents) and meant for students. I am not a student, but I was a student and can only imagine how this could affect a "last minute paper deadline". If you are a student and reading this, please, PLEASE be sure to purchase printers with longer warranties. If your printer does fail outside (but no more than a year) of the limited warranty time frame, calmly but firmly insist that you speak to managers, customer service reps, etc. until they send you a replacement printer. In my mind, marketing a low-price item with a limited warranty that has a tendency to fail shortly after the warranty expires is a sad business practice meant to prey upon those not willing to spend a tremendous amount on an item they will use infrequently. It's not something I expect of a solid company like Canon and it's a practice and policy I hope they change in the future.
Good, except it will lie about the ink I use this printer for scanning, b&w printing, and a couple times I accidentally printed something in color.
For the most part this printer is good, both the scanning and the printing. My problem with this printer is that its similar to other Canon products in that it either lies about the ink usage, or it chooses to use color to create the b&w rather than simply use the black ink cartridge. I don't print in color, yet my color cartridge runs out just as frequently as the black cartridge. That is unacceptable deception/theft.
Did not last as long as the ink cartridges I purchased this printer just under 2 1/2 months ago. It did well and gave sharp copies. I went to use it today, and it will not power up. I use surge protection on my computer and peripherals, and with no external power supply, I am left with an oversized paperweight.
Perfect for Professor's home office OCR, pdfs, etc. I am in love with my new Pixma MP210 after using it intensively for 3 weeks to prepare for college graduate course teaching. I agree with everything positive that has been said in previous reviews plus these points that did not show up in previous reviews:
OCR function- can scan text into a word document so I can cut, paste, and edit the text. Comes with a preview and correct text software function that lets you easily clean up the scrambled text.
One thing I miss: when scanning you cannot reduce the page to get wider margins. You can do that with the copy function and then scan your copies, but not directly in scan (e.g. 90% scan).
File name only allows 20 characters which is too short for me to name book chapters that I've scanned. But you can correct that once you save it as a word file on your desktop.
It sits nicely on my desk next to my keyboard and monitor. Nice to have printing, copying, and scanning so easily next to me. Paper feeder works, but paper supply sits a little crooked. Paper does not come flying out at you which is another plus over my old printer.
The buttons are not as bad as the other reviews said. The manual leaves a little to be desired: It was a little difficult to figure out how to do the OCR function--for example, it didn't tell me to "choose" my scanner so the software would be connected to the Canon PIXMA. It comes with two softwares--one for scanning and one for OCR. So maybe some people will think this is clunky to have to move between two softwares. But both work great! Faster than my 2 year old Epson stand alone scanner and the cover is more manageable than the Epson's (which just fell down on me all the time!)
Okay, so it doesn't feed, collate, and staple--but for that I go to my office. Canon Pixma MP210 Photo All-In-One Inkjet Printer (2175B002)
Do Not Buy This Printer!!! Don't get me wrong, it works fine and the quality is "good" but the MAJOR problem with this product is that the ink runs dry almost immediately - I am forever running to Staples or Office Depot and spending 30 bucks for a b/w and a color cartridge. The b/w will print MAYBE 2 scripts and the color? Horrible. After printing 6 8x10 photo's (yes, I understand this printer isn't for photo's, but when you need a presentation...) the color is gone. That equates to about 3 bucks a page!!!
Pay the money and get a printer where the ink will last.
