It is a great little printer, actually, giving surprisingly good quality output.

Check to see that you have the bits and pieces for the printhead, which is a complicated design. There are separate B&W and Colour printheads as well as separate B&W and Colour inktanks: 4 pieces in all. Once you get past how that works it is not so bad, plus the ink is standard Canon and the tanks are the easiest I have ever seen to fill. You can actually see the sponge.
