The power LED flashes in cycles of two to nine bursts to indicate status and error conditions, but it's generally easier to monitor the software status monitor for updates.įront-panel LEDs illuminate to show which paper tray has been selected, but the printer switches automatically from one source to the other, and the switch setting can be overridden from the printer driver. There's a large power switch in the upper-right corner, a PictBridge port, a paper-feed button, and a paper-input-source switch. Like that of other Pixmas, this printer's operation is driver-centric.
Physical setup involves little more than connecting the power cord, linking the printer to your computer through a USB 2.0 cable, and installing the printhead and the five ink tanks.
Review of canon pixma ip3000 photo printer drivers#
Setting up this printer mostly entails installing the printer drivers and the optional image-editing, organizing, and Web-page-printing software-a 10-minute chore at most. Pity it lacks built-in networking we might have bumped up the rating into Editors' Choice territory. As a four-color model, it lacks the cred and the quality to compete with real photo printers-despite Canon's Pixma marketing strategy-but its photo-printing quality surpasses that of most SOHO competitors, making it a great general-purpose choice. Automatic duplexing, dual paper trays with a combined 300-sheet capacity, tiny droplets, and decent speed make the Canon Pixma iP5000 a versatile inkjet option for home users who need both text and graphics output.
