Canon i250 Inkjet Printer

Summary: The Canon i250 is a great little printer.

Why I bought it

I bought this because I have had no end of trouble with my current Epson C60 printer. The Epson kept clogging and needed endless nozzle cleaning which churns through the ink. Probably more than half of my ink was going on cleaning and the Epson cartridges are amongst some of the most expensive around. When the colour cartridge ran out, I saw that I could get a new Canon i250 for less than the price of a pair of Epson cartridges!

Installation

First up, this really is a budget printer, one of the ways they have saved money is that there is no usb cable supplied! My guess is that a lot of stores make more on selling you the cable than they do on the printer, so make sure you don't pay too much for the cable.
