Canon MG Series PIXMA MG2525 Inkjet Photo Printer with Scanner/Copier, Black

Makes more noise than what seems necessary, paper is ejected slanted everytime and I have to physically pull the corner of each sheet from the printer. The color alignment process does not complete. Some colors are out of the lines. Spend a few more bucks and get a decent printer.

So far Im enjoying my printer. Ive only just set it up and printed two photos but boy, was it tough getting there. Physically setting up the printer was easy. There are only two cables (power cord and USB, both included) and ink cartridges to install. Also, the printer itself is very lightweight. The troublesome part comes when installing the software. I spent two hours trying to troubleshoot several issues before being able to print and Im still not sure of all my settings are correct. The first problem came when aligning the print head. I followed the instructions on screen and in the online manual but never reached any kind of confirmation that the print head is aligned properly. I decided to move past the alignment troubleshooting and try to print some pictures on photo paper but when the print settings were set correctly to print on photo paper, the printer couldnt register that there was photo paper but did register when I switched the settings back to print on plain paper. I think that killed the quality of my pictures a bit. Overall, Im pretty happy with my purchase but also frustrated because Im not sure if the software will fail in the future. Update: the black ink does not dry when set to plain paper when printing on glossy paper. After some research, Ive found that many cabin printers are not capable of printing on glossy paper larger than 5x7 (this one doesnt pri t above 4x6) and I think that is my issue here. Disappointed that this is advertised as a printer that can print out the n glossy paper but the limitations is not disclosed.
