I ordered this Canon iP4300 for the office on the basis of great results with its predecessor, the Canon 4200, at home. If you’re new to the Pixma line, expect the machine to function flawlessly if not beyond expectations, though at a slightly higher cost in ink than other printers. The Canon iP4300 is a slight upgrade of the extremely popular Canon iP4200 (see reviews of that machine). If you print a lot of photos, you’ll notice a 40% increase in the rate of processing. Finally, I wouldn’t discount the duplex printing feature, retained on the Canon 4300. It has saved me not only paper but numerous trips to the copy machine.
Advantage of the Canon iP4300 over the Canon 4200: Significantly faster printing of color copy because of added ink jets.
Disadvantage of IP4300: Slightly wider and deeper than the Canon 4200, taking up more desk space.

I was using an HP Photosmart 7260 which made very good photo prints. It used 6 color photo ink but I had to change one cartridge to pigment ink for text. It uses separtate ink cartridges but uses 4 colors for photos. The print quality is equal or better than the HP (but close). The IP4300 is quiet and 2 - 3 times faster. The print driver has both auto and manual modes so you can tweak the print. It has two paper paths. I put photo paper in the back feeder and plain paper in the front cassett.
The printer will automatically use the back paper feed. This printer has automatic head alignment and it works great. It will automatically turn on when printing. Pigment black produces excellant text. If you are not using Canon paper, start with this setting: Select paper “Photo Paper Pro” and High Print Quality. This removed my red tint (I use Kodak paper). Overall, if you want a printer for text and high quality photos, this is it. If you are looking for advance photo printers Canon makes those too. These are not usually good for text.
