Auto document feeder mx860 vs mx870: However, I've seen reviews of the mx860 where people appear to claim that it does the same thing?

I just bought an MX860 and noticed that, while it can copy and scan 2-sided from the ADF, it cannot *fax* from 2-sided paper. If your originals are 2-sided, you'd have to first copy them 2-sided --&gt; 1-sided, then fax the 1-sided originals. On another discussion thread, someone said they fixed that in the mX870. So now you can fax 2-sided originals from the MX870 ADF.

the iP4300 is similar in every aspect to the iP4200, just a little smarter in appearance, I have the iP4300 now and love it, and did own the iP4200, both printers have two paper feeds, one on top at rear, the second in the cassette tray at front bottom of printer, as far as manual feeds, I would have to say NO for either printer, so I don't know what you exactly mean when you say 'like the iP4200'

The auto feed on the top only works for the scanner and copier. Envelopes and non standard paper have to go in the paper feeder. Hopefully that helps.

If you go to Canon USA website (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=18121) and bring up this model and go to the Drivers tab, From the "Please select your operating system to view available drivers and software." Select Windows 7 then select either "MX860 series MP Driver Ver. 1.02 (Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000)" or "MX860 series MP Driver Ver. 1.02 for Network (Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000)" I selected the first one and was up and running after 10 minutes vs the 2 hours I spent prior to this. Hope this helps Stephen. David

It works very well for the Canon MX870. Just be sure you read the installation instructions. It doesn't install exactly like Canon ink even though they look similar. Love the price!

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

Great question and one that I would also like to know. If not, then what about the MX850, if you can still find one?

Yes, this printer has auto-feed for scanning and printing. Faithfully working for over a year now and I keep it busy.

I don't have this printer yet but I've been researching and talked to the Epson rep at Fry's. I can answer your last two questions: Yes, you need an additional part (available for ~25 bucks) for duplex printing. However, there is no duplex auto doc feeder, making automated dual sided copies impossible. BTW the duplex Auto Document Feeder (ADF) scanning is what is holding me back on this purchase. My current HP 7780 has a duplex ADF and the Canon MX7600 have it.

I have a Cannon MX860, these work great - every time - print highest quality as factory brand name cartages as a fraction of the cost. It's all about pages per dollar. This are really the answer.

I've only scanned a handful of docs-seems to work good. Our multi page feeder works great. We have the 8910 at our front desk-small healthcare office & I have our old 8860 back by my desk & that still works good including multi feeder after 5 or 6 years. We like the Brother machines after several bad experiences with HP. Good luck. Jim

I have an MX712 and they work great, looks like the mx880 takes the same cartridge but double-check for compatability

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

Manual feed I'm pretty sure. Problem I had is that it would lock up with funny colors on the screen whenever I tried to scan - right out of the box, so I returned it.
