Summary: A great buy!
Review: I have found that the Canon BJC 2100 is a great buy. This easy compact machine is easy to use and is versatile, the cartridges are easy to exchange and replace. And the Canon support system is readily available for any questions, solutions, etc. that the consumer might have. But best of all Amazon has the very Best prices on the ink cartridges!

Summary: Awesome Quality
Review: I have had mine for about a year now and it works great, it has a parallel port and a USB port so it is very versitile. Our First printer just broke down and it was a BJC 250, it lasted like 7 years. I am very impressed with it, if you are printing documents it is good and low cost. I wouldn't reccomend it if you are going to be printing things such like pictures that you want to look real, and other stuff like that. It dosen't have that great of a quality butit works good for a beginner.

Summary: Really [inexpensive] to operate
Review: I own or owned several iterations of Lexmark,Canon, epson and Hewlett Packard. The 2100 series of Canon are my favorites. They are the most economical of all the printers to operate. Compatible cartridges are available for a [few dollars] as they are quite small.I have an expensive photo printer and the other day I took a picture of my dog with one of my digital cameras. Iprited a glossy on the Canon and the Photo printer and my friends invariably thoght the best picture was from brand X,when in fact it was the [inexpensive] Canon. On th downside
you can't tell when ink is low and when a print head fails you might as well buy a new printer. but at they're prices you can affordto do so.I still highly recommend them for average users.

Summary: Printer failure
Review: I purchased the Canon BJC2100 printer on July 26, 2000. It worked well until September, 2001 when it just quit printing. The cost of repair is greater than the cost of the printer, so I am left with a relatively new, non-working printer. This printer didn't last long at all. Disappointed.

Summary: Poor quality, slow, old styled. Save your money
Review: 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. 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.

Summary: IN DEFENSE OF THE CANON BJC 2100
Review: I recently moved my 2100 to the office and began the search for another one. No machine is without fault. However, I found the 2100 easy to operate and easier to fix. I am a bookkeeper and print constantly. The cost of the BC-20 all black printer cartridge is a small price to pay for the service I've received in the last seven years. This printer came with my Gateway package and if it quit tomorrow I would still be impressed by its durability. I have been hard on this printer demanding endless hours of printing. If it jams it's easy to clear and reset. For non-color printing this would be my choice.

Summary: Nice Job
Review: I thought when i bought this little printer it was just going to be "ok." Well, i was pleasantly suprised when i noticed the output. Its not terribly fast but when im working its prints out just fine as i go along. i get the same black quality out of it as i do with my EXPENSIVE Hp. the color quality is great for 90% of my documents and photos. for [the money] you cannot go wrong with this one. its even small enough to take on the road and use in the hotel. Ink use is average and costs are about the same. the cartridges may look small but the are filled to the max. its a great buy for anyone.

Summary: RELIABLE
Review: I was at a lost as to which printer to buy when I first acquired my computer.
Though I did not buy mine from Amazon, I did check this web site to see what was reasonable for my pocket. I saw the advert for this Canon BJC-2100, and found one right here in Bridgetown.So far....so good. It gives me just what I want,and in wonderful colour and I'm not about to trade it, in any hurry.
It's reliable, and exactly what customers want more than anything especially when having just bought your first computer. This is ideal for those on a tight budget.....trust me. I love it.

Summary: Canon BJC-2100 is a bad buy.
Review: I would definately not purchase this printer again if I had the choice. It broke within one month of the inadequate 90 day warranty expiring. Furthermore, Canon makes no pretenses of producing a quality product. Their personnel were less than sympathetic or helpful. Canon's technical assistance line is about as expensive as a 1-900 number. They DO charge you buy the minute to talk to people who barely have a high school education. Overall, a VERY bad experience with a company which is churning out inferior goods. There is a reason Canon sells their equipment so cheap!

Summary: Let me re-think this
Review: I wrote the first review for this, saying that it seemed to bea good-quality, cheap printer. I'd like to drastically change myopinion of it. After three new ink cartridges, this printer isshot. I need to spend [money] now for the part that will make itwork correctly now (by the way, that's about the price of a brand-newone of these). This printer started off great, but fadedconsiderably in just a few months. It's a piece of junk that youshouldn't bother wasting your money on. I hope you aren't already theproud owner of a Canon 2100, because if you are, you will bedisappointed soon. :(
