I've given this a low rating for the following reasons: one, the instructions are a bit of a mess. The instructions come in the form of a thick book and a separate sheet. In order to set up the printer, you have to somehow read the book and the sheet at the same time. It's unnecessarily fiddly. Why can't there be a single set of instructions? As it is, you have to keep jumping from one thing to another.
Secondly you won't be able to use this machine straight out of the box. For some reason it doesn't have a USB cable. Only when I was reading the setup instructions did I realise this, and I had to go out and buy one before I could use the printer (which I wasn't very happy about). You can't use the machine without a cable so why isn't one included?
So however good Canon products are, I would think twice before buying anything of theirs again: to sell a printer without the cable you need to operate it is unforgivable.
 Pixma iP4500 October 5, 2008
Mr. Terrence Jowle (North Yorkshire)
Bought this Canon Pixma iP4500 to replace my old Epson C62 which eventually gave up the ghost after nearly 7 yrs on a diet of compatible cartridges. I found the set up a little long winded, the biggest problem was working out how to disable both the anti virus system and the programs which open on start up. I have never had to do this before when installing either hardware or software. But eventually I had the printer up and running. So far the results have been most impressive, it is much quicker, quieter and has a far superior photo print quality than my old Epson. However one would expect this to be the situation on a printer 7 years newer. I have made several test prints of photos already printed by my old Epson using the same programs and print sizes. The results have been very impressive with both the colours and image sharpness being almost identical to those stored on my computer. Another excellent Canon product.
Quality Photo Printing September 19, 2008

This printer is just the best. Good quality build for the price and the print quality is second to none. Set up was simple and the bundled software is easy to use without having to read manuals. I have only printed a few 6 x 4 photos so far and I have to say that the image quality exceeds my expectations. At this price you would be mad to consider anything else!
This Printer is like Wow!!! =] September 17, 2008

Okay after reading so many bad reviews about other printers; I decided to go with this one, it came this morning and since I had nothing better to do I decided to play with my knew toy.. I printed 102 6x4 photo's 2 a5 and 1 a4 and the ink is still going; I really thought the ink would have ran out by now but the colour levels are still showing 3/4 full and 4/4 for the black inks. And the print quality is superb! I mean really really wow! I still have alot more photos to print (2years without a printer means I have a lot to print lol) I did think about going for an epson; I used to own one and it was fantastic till it broke =[ but the new epsons have really bad reviews about the ink running out and such so the canon seemed a good bet and it's been fine all day! I know it's early days still but it seems to be really good =]
The only problem is the plastic it's made out of has already got marks on it that wont wipe off =[ oh well eh I didn't buy to look at it lol =]
Fabulous Printer September 13, 2008

As with many other reviewers after years of Epson nozzle checks and cleaning routines I think I have found nirvana! This printer gives spectacular results. It is sturdy and solid and reliable, does what it says on the box. Which is all I ask of a printer! Highly recommend. :) Thank you Canon and thanks to all the other reviews I chose this printer.
