Canon BJC S200 InkJet Printer

Pros: Cheap
Cons: You get what you pay for

Typically, when you see a product that's really cheap, there's 2 ways about it - it's either a steal for the low price, or a pile of crap that wasn't worth the trip to the store you bought it from. For me, the latter was the case for the Canon S200...

Pros: Excellent print quality. Reliable. Low cost cartridges. No jams! Setup software is a breeze!
Cons: Slow! But who cares at this price!?

When we first purchased our home PC, a Lexmark Z-42 printer was included in the deal. I should have known better as the Lexmark rep was breathing down my back during the purchase and I have since vowed never to succumb to that kind of sales pressure ...

Pros: Ink cartridges dont have built in print heads -> Cheap cartridges, small
Cons: Slow colour printing, occasional paper jam

This is the best printer I ever got so far, besides my 9pin Philips dot-matrix printer that is 20 years old - Nothing will beat that. I've had 2 HP deskjet 690C's - Both broke after a year, both also got the famous "bar needs oil problem" that cant be ...

Pros: Price, good software, cheap cartridges, excellent printouts when it works.
Cons: Shoddy build quality, unreliable printing, lack of USB cable in box.

I bought this to replace a ten-year-old Canon BJ10SX which had given great service. In fact I have a total of three BJ10SXes! Two of which still work perfectly. But they aren't colour. I saw the S200 on offer at £35 ($60) and foolishly I imagined it ...

Pros: Cheap, easy to setup and use, comes with full ink cartridges
Cons: Does not come with USB cable, somewhat slow

I bought this printer as a replacement for my earlier Apollo printer whose ink ran out and I figured out that replacing the two cartridges in it would end up costing me more than $60. This printer was on sale for $35 and it came with full ink...

Pros: Cheap, suitable for kids and students
Cons: Slow printing speed, poor color reprodution

It prints in both Color and black/white. A very slow color printing speed (1ppm /-). Reproduction quality are bad, stay away from this printer if you are going to prints with photo and etc. The only good thing is, the paper handling system is better...
