Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
The Canon S9000 Color Bubble Jet Printer is conventional ink jet, which
is with two control panel buttons and one LED status light. It has the
maximum resolution of 2,400 by 1,200 dpi.
This normal-width version of the wide-carriage Canon S9000 doesn't have
fancy (or confusing) front-panel controls or direct-printing media
slots.
The S9000 trailed by only 5 seconds overall, but it was almost three
times as fast as the closest non-Canon printer, the Epson Stylus Photo
820. An affordable price, top speed, and great quality—what more do you
want?
If you need the same quality and nearly identical class-leading speed
but want to print on larger stock, choose the Canon S9000. The S9000
lets you print on 13- by 19-inch media. You won't find memory card
slots, digital camera ports, or an LCD preview screen, but the S9000 is
an easy-to-use photo printer that does its job well.
