Pros: Practicing not to defenstrate a computer peripheral, and a lesson never to buy Canon again.
Cons: Giving a month-old POS printer to a 5 year old - priceless.

| rjocojr's Full Review: Canon i860 Photo Bubble Jet Printer 23/16ppm Print... |
Worst piece of computing machinery I ever had to deal with. Wouldn't install properly ("autodetect" is autodead), took itself offline inexplicably, often needed to open the case and wait for the print head to center for it to trigger printing. Paper jammed frequently. Installed on a Dell C400 laptop with XP Pro and SP2 - note the Canon drivers are not Windows certified. Would not work reliably on USB 1.0 or parallel conx (maybe it's just super on USB 2.0). Finally got fed up and in lieu of throwing it away, I gave it to my 5-year-old niece. We still haven't gotten it to work on her (fully updated) Windows 2000 machine; next stop is the trash can. Replaced it with a cheaper Epson C86 that worked out of the box like the proverbial charm.
