This printer is excellent.
1) It is compact, lightweight and portable, and is about the size of an elongated book, which means I can carry it from room to room or even take it with me when I travel and stay overnight somewhere.
2) It is so straightforward to use, and also the ink cartridges are easy to move in and out when you need to replace them - unlike the bulky Canon printer/scanner which I have.
3) I was able to set it up within 20 minutes, without having to bother with any downloads. My MacBook Pro recognised this printer immediately, without having any instructions.
4) The last time I bought one of these printers was 10 years ago and it lasted me eight years. I wonder whether its cheaper competitors last as long.
So to conclude, if you don't need a scanner as well as a printer and you want to have a printer that is easy to use, portable, amazingly lightweight and yet very durable then pay the extra and buy this one.
