| Review | Rating | Last Updated | No XP Driver!
This would be a fine printer. It produces lovely prints. The problem? For reasons I cannot fathom, CANON HAS DECIDED *NOT* TO RELEASE A WINDOWS XP DRIVER!! Now that I've upgraded my PC to XP, my Canon is a paperweight. | 1 | Today | Don't Purchase -- Canon Not Supporting
I own a CD-300. The quality of the prints is quite good -- indistinguishable from a regular 35mm print. However, as another reviewer has stated, avoid this printer. Canon has announced that it will not develop a Windows XP printer driver for the CD-300. To add insult to injury, Canon announced today that it is producing a new 4x6 dye-sub printer, the CP-100, which I have no doubt will be XP-compatible. | 1 | Today | Wonderful printer, but cannot use on many computers.
I have this printer and love it. Or used to love it. I just got a new computer which runs Windows XP. You cannot use this printer with a new computer because Canon has arbitrarily decided not to release printer drivers. Their nonsensical stated reason is that the printer does not support USB (universal serial bus). Windows XP could support this printer. It recognizes the printer as new hardware over the parallel printer bus and asks for a driver. Since Canon has decided not to support Canon products there is no usable driver. Canon has only released Windows 95/98 drivers. Do not buy this printer unless you are willing to keep around a Windows 98 computer with which to use it. I've bought my last Canon product. | 1 | Today | Excellent photos...only print the ones you like!
The only limitation on this excellent little printer is the photo sizes. However, contrary to some other models, this unit will print panoramic(4x10) photos as well as 4x6 prints. You can connect it to your television as an external monitor and tweak your pictures or add borders, or you can print an index sheet and decide which you like off of that. Plus, if you use it with a camera that uses a digital print order format( canons and some others) as I do, you can decide which photos you want printed directly from the camera, then insert the card into the printer and press print. It couldn't be any easier! As far as print quality, it really does rival those of a lab, and the paper feels just like it as well. I used it over Christmas for a huge family get together. We would take photographs with my camera and have them printed in minutes. It's not every day that we get together, so it was really great to let everyone see the photos before they were ever printed on the tv screen and have them choose which they liked. I sincerely recommend this printer for anyone with a digital camera! | 5 | Today |
