GRAB A CUP OF JOE-while you wait-maybe a donut

by DarbyWalters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 02 '01
Pros: I HONESTLY CAN'T THINK OF ONE!!!
Cons: Print Quality, Ink Cartridges, Technical Service, Warranty Service, Size of the Machine, ECT, ECT, ECT
When I purchased my Compaq Presario 3550, I noticed the BJC 5100 was on sale and had a rebate offer. I gathered up all the equipment and hurried home to set up my new computer. Everything seemed to go okay with the installation of the BJC...

Expensive Boat Anchor

by tech_dude , Oct 04 '01
Pros: Relatively fast printing
Cons: An ink hog, noisy, unreliable print quality
I bought the Canon BJC-5100 from Future Shop as a replacement to my old BJC-820. I had hoped that the new printer would have eliminated all of the bad habits of my old one. Well, it looks like both of these printers have all of the same problems.

Noisy, clunky: This Canon misfires

by Connecticut , Sep 30 '00
Pros: Good quality reproduction without smearing or blotching.
Cons: Periodic paper jams, balky operation, *wildly* noisy and bothersome racket when printing.
A year and a half ago, we traded in our reliable B&W printer for this pooch. Ugh, what a mistake.

Canon is a name I trust, but the BJC-5100 is a dog. A mangy, unpredictable, unproductive and NOISY little dog at that.

Not too bad, but...

by gdnichols , Apr 21 '00
Pros: Cheap, easy to set up and use, good results on several paper sizes.
Cons: Gulps ink.
The BJC-5100 is cheap and easy to set up. It will print envelopes and several paper formats from 4" x 6" up to 11" x 17" (manual feeding the larger sizes). It is fast in printing B&W and produces excellent results. Color...

Little annoyances hamper BJC-5100

by bgardner , Jun 01 '00
Pros: Fast, inexpensive, good quality
Cons: Paper-eating, ink-swilling, spooler destroying annoyances
I bought my first Canon printer on a friend's recommendation when the cheap HP connected to my Windows machine finally gave out. I wish I had bought an Epson instead.

The BJC-5100 is fast and has very good print quality, but has some quirks...

Faster than laser printers, with excellent versatility! *^_^*

by jeremyf , Jan 22 '00
Pros: 10 PPM black, very versitile, simple interface, very easy to use, rather small, 11x14 paper printing
Cons: Extra cartridges needed for the most versatility, quality could be improved, but is still good
I bought my Canon BJC-5100 on outpost.com for $99 after a $30 rebate, with free overnight shipping. It comes ready to use with a black ink cartridge and a color ink cartridge, but does not come with a printer cable (costs $10 extra).

The Canon...

Versatility, Style, and Grace under pressure

by Meta4Wzrd , May 24 '00
Pros: Fast, Versatile and Economical
Cons: Kind of bulky in size
This is an outstanding value at $129, and it usually comes with a $30 mail in rebate that makes this product even better than usual ... It has a wide range of options from cartridge layout to printing on different sizes and thickness of paper

Noisy, bad quality pictures, and big. The misfit of printers

by Dex2K1 , Dec 20 '00
Pros: It will work. Not very good but it will work.
Cons: This printer is too big, the print job is very bad and it is loud.
When I first got this computer, 1 year ago, I plugged my Canon Printer in with it. I bought both of them at the same time. I plugged it in and printed my first copy. It was okay at them time.

The noise

the printer driver is buggy

by bytang , Oct 30 '00
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: buggy driver
I own an Epson Stylus 500. When I was shopping for ink cartridges for the Epson, I saw this Canon BJC-5100 for only $100 after rebate. That was about the same money I would have to spend for the Epson ink cartridges (both BW and color), so I decided to...

Wide Format Printing

by Yeshua , Dec 17 '99
Pros: Fast printing, 11x17 printing, low unit cost
Cons: pricey ink refills, tabloid sheets are manual feed.
I work in a medium sized architectural firm near Louisville, KY. We do a fair number of presentations and projects which need 11x17 (also called tabloid) sized sheets. We purchased the BJC-5100 through an online merchant in response to some coupon and...

The Ultimate Business and Home Printer

by lori1313 , Feb 23 '00
Pros: versatility
Cons: none that I have come across
The BJC 5100 is a fantastic printer for anyone with a home office or just for anyone who needs a printer. It is very fast( up to 10 pages in black-4 in color), it has versatile paper sizes- up to 11 by 17- and although that doesn't come up that often...

fair weather printer

by Linds81 , Nov 30 '00
Pros: pretty good value
Cons: reliability, some ink usage
This printer is an upgrade from my computer package at CompUSA. It was only a little bit more money for a higher quality printer. I'm sure that if I went with the packaged bundle I would be very unhappy.

This printer is pretty much just...

Canon BJC-5100: Not built for the long haul.

by trohricht , Aug 06 '01
Pros: Large format, a lot of capability for the money, inexpensive to run.
Cons: Noise, speed, reliability, durability, paper feed.
I’m starting to wonder if Canon is the Yugo of the printer world. So far I’ve found Canon inkjets to be noisy, slow, and only built to last about half as long as the competition. Granted, I do tend to push the limits of my printers, often spitting out...

Fun, professional, compact

by xinny , Apr 15 '00
Pros: Small, useful, good printing quality, inexpensive
Cons: a little slow and noisy
I got this printer as a gift after doing taxes for my sister in law. It is only 99 dollars so she really got a deal. Now I use it almost everyday for everything even though I have a HP laserjet.

It came with two cartridges, one black and...
