Canon PIXMA TS205 Inkjet Printer, Black

I spent ages trying to find the most compact printer that looks nice with no frills that can get the job done and I am super happy with this. I can see from other reviews there are complaints that it doesn't include the USB but then again most printers don't include this cable. It prints documents fine just as expected. Inks are easy to get hold of and it looks neat. I use the latest Macbook and this was just plug in and print immediately which was a pleasant surprise, I didn't need to download drivers or software. 10/10, no complaints.

As usual great service from Amazon prompt delivery well packed good price.Printer good to look at but quiet noisy and when I use the printer there is always more than three sheets of paper comes out at once but as I don't use the printer that much now that I'm retired it serves the purpose. Very easy to install. I would still purchase it again.

Good Value for money

In the product description it clearly states "Scanner Type: Flatbed"Nice, neat, compact printer and very cheap! But I bought it specifically with scanning in mind. Not great at all.Another thing to note is that it expects you to have a USB 2.0 A Male to B Male cable lying around.

If what you need is a basic printer, this will do the job.Very easy to set up using the disc provided. It doesn't come with a USB lead, but that's not the end of the world.Compact and lightweight for home use and does what it says on the tin. Only down side is it is quite noisy.

I got this after a disastrous attempt to setting up HP printer using a phone app. The Canon was dead easy to set up, up and running after half an hour. It is basic and maybe a little flimsy but for the money I can highly recommend. Maybe best for light use as the cartridges are a bit expensive. Very happy.

I received the printer yesterday and I can't say I like it that much. I bought it to replace an old Pixma 4000 which had developed a 'printer head' error - I have the feeling that Canon build obsolescence into these printers to force you to buy a new one. The TS205 is rather flimsy and nothing like as sturdy as my old Pixma. In reality it doesn't look as good as in the photos. I tried to simply connect it and print but it gives a message that the print heads have not been aligned. I though I may be able to get away without installing the Canon software - which is available either on the enclosed CD or download from the Canon website. I had to install their software to do the printer head alignment. The printer made a noise like wood being cut with a saw for several minutes while it did the alignment. Then I could print. As others have mentioned, there is no USB cable supplied. As far as the inks are concerned, there are two cartridges 'black' and 'colour', the latter being all colours in one cartridge. This is not efficient because if it runs out of one colour you have to replace the whole cartridge. The inks are expensive, even non-OEM ones. You are probably better off getting a printer with separate inks, such as the Pixma TS5050.

Very good printer, the method of operation may take time to get used to. The biggest problem was that the Set-up C.D. provided was no use, I had to go to Canon's website to download the drivers for it.
