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.

CNET.com Editors' review:
Just when we've finally caught our breath, Canon announces another batch
of Pixma printers (the company released four budget Pixma models earlier
this summer). This time, instead of workhorse models, Canon treats us to
a round of photo enthusiast printers. The six-color Pixma iP6000D, which
replaces last year's Canon i900D, should please entry-level photo nuts.
UPSIDE: The Pixma iP6000D takes direct printing a step
further than its predecessor; in addition to providing card slots for
the major media card formats and direct-from-camera printing, it can
output photos from cell phones equipped with infrared capabilities.
DOWNSIDE: Aside from its design and slightly enhanced
direct-print capabilities, there's not much new here. The iP6000D
incorporates older technologies since the latest technology is typically
reserved for the year's flagship model--in this case, the Pixma iP5000.
OUTLOOK: Considering the printer's versatility, $179
(list) is a more than fair price to pay for the iP6000D. Like its
predecessor, it should do quite well on the market. We'll give you our
full analysis once the Canon Pixma iP6000D ships this fall. Stay tuned.
