Medium quality and works for a couple of years [Posted on 2002-12-04]
I liked this printer in the begining. But it used a lot of ink and the ink was costly. Then I bought a box of cartridges from a supplier. But alas, by then the printer stopped working. I thought head was dirty but no. I guess head has worn out in two years even though my usage was very little. A box of cartridges is going waste. Then I bought a Lexmark Z13 almost at negligible price after rebates. I have heard that it doesn't have same problem. I am thinking to get a re-fill kit for it.
Save your money! Please. [Posted on 2003-05-20]
Within a few months after purchase printer head died. Thought I was just unlucky, forked out a cool [$$$] for a new printer head(my second bad move). Printer head this time lasted about a year and a half with minimal use. Consumption of ink is excessive and therefore costly.The number of bad reviews for this printer sums it all.Just because it says its a "canon" do not be fooled.Buyer beware!
BJC = Bad Junky Canon [Posted on 2005-03-21]
I really don't like this printer. Though, it's good in some ways. The printer doesn't use that much ink, so you don't have to buy printer ink very often. Plus, it does a quite good job cleanig itself.
Now for the negatives, which are much more important than the positives. First off, I have a LOT of paper feed problems. A lot of times when I put 5 sheets in it takes the whole entire 5 sheets. Another problem is the print-out quality. Even on the best setting and on high quality paper, the print is still low-quality. It has white lines all over the picture. Also, man is it SLOW! It's the slowest printer ever! It takes more than 3 minutes to print out something that covers half of the paper. Half! The whole paper takes 6-7 minutes depending on the color of the document or picture you choose to print. Of course, there is a draft mode (a.k.a. poor quality), which is pretty fast (about 30 second a full sheet of paper), but is almost unusable because it's quality is horrid! It has white lines on the paper and it has little ink on it. Even though it does a good job cleaning, cleaning takes a little while too. Also, this printer is not new. Were not in the 90's anymore people! There are probably printers for lower price that work much better. Which leads to my next complaint. Install on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X are a pain! The operating systems listed above are pretty new and aren't supported by the OS, so it's a PAIN to install or uninstall.
Overall:
Pros:
- Don't have to buy ink often.
- Good cleaning.
Cons:
- Bad paper feed.
- Bad quality print-out.
- Very slow at printing and cleaning.
- There are better printers for less price.
- Bad install.
- Bad uninstall.
Recommendation: If you see it at a yard sale for less than $20 and you don't care much for quality or features, buy it. But other than that, DON'T BUY! Not worth $70.
I Would Like To Put This Canon Printer In a Catapault And Hurl It Into A Dumpster! [Posted on 2005-10-17]
I have this Canon BJC 2000 printer, received it as a gift and it worked fine for a short time but than became a real headache, an absolute nightmare and I see by reading these reviews that I'm not the only one who had problems with this printer. The printer worked good for a short time but then the nightmare of paper jams, lousy print, etc began. You try and print something and the printer totally screws up and you get lines that are so bad you can't read the words or it will start printing then shoot the paper out as if it finished printing or needed two pages and half of the recipe or whatever you are trying to print will come out with half of the print missing or blurry or wih lines through it so to get a decent print you wind up wasting a lot of ink and paper and it just gets worse and worse. I like the review by the guy who also dislikes this printer and said he would like to shoot his Canon with a cannon. I wouldn't mind shooting my Canon with a cannon either and actually I would like to put this Canon printer in a catapalt and hurl it into the town dump!
Da Best For Me [Posted on 2008-05-23]
I've had one of these BJC 2000's ever since I dumped my HP printers years ago. Low priced. Very reliable and long-lived. Great home printer--not recommended for office environment. Fairly slow, and inkjet printouts will smudge if wetted. It ain't a laser jet! Cheap printing supplies. I wish they still made new ones.
