I received the Pro9000MkII for my birthday in September. I installed it in a non-standard configuration, located on my network through a USB to Ethernet Hub so that I could put the printer in my network closet. The printer is accessible to three computers using WinXP Pro and Vista.
Installation went very smoothly with the exception of getting the first test print. I'm a blockhead and fed the paper in "landscape" orientation. The printer just spun its wheels and the installation directions weren't very helpful. Once I found out that the paper needed to be fed in "portrait" style, things began to look up.
Using quality photo paper, I got stunning results and was quite pleased with the output. The printer is fast and quiet. I got a scare when a print came out looking very strange, kind of "posterized". What happened was that I fed the paper in with the wrong side up. The particular paper I used had a matt side and a glossy back. The ink wouldn't adhere to the glossy back. I haven't tried "glossy" paper yet. A minor kvetch, the printer sometimes will not "pick up" the paper in the feed tray and will spin its wheels. I have to remove and reseat the paper then all is well.Get more detail about Canon Pixma PRO9000MkII Inkjet Photo Printer (3295B002).
