Canon's print, scan, copy bonanza
Canon just refreshed its low-end inkjet lineup, replacing the popular i series with four models branded with Pixma logos. Pixma, shorthand for pixel maximum, represents the latest spin on Canon's consumer marketing strategy, which the company states is "to make it easier to print out better photos." The four printers have slightly different feature sets and range in price from $49 to $149. The company unveiled two new scanners, as well.

| Review summary | Whatever savings you get with this printer will be no comfort when you check out its output. Canon's step-up model, the Pixma iP2000, produces better goods and is a far better deal. | Nice graphics output, good photo printing, and decent speeds make this budget inkjet a bargain for a family or student. | It's worth spending more for better photo quality and slightly faster print speeds. | Fast print speeds and decent output make this inexpensive printer a great option for multitasking families. | CNET editor's take | CNET editor's take |
