For what it's worth, I've been using a Canon MX920 (all-in-one) for a few years now and am pleased with it.

But all manufacturers keep introducing new models every few months.......
The older ones get retired.

Unfortunately the much loved MX920/922 is no longer available from Canon. I bought one for each of my grown daughters and one of the printers broke after about 10 months. Canon was happy to exchange it for what I was told was the most current replacement, the TR8520. The TR8520 can easily be found for about $70 whereas an MX922 is over $250 from 3rd party sellers. The TR8520 also ships with starter cartridges which hold very little ink. New tanks have limited ink capacity and are expensive even for non-OEM.
The best options currently are the Pro-100, IP8720, IX6820 or a Canon MegaTank model.

Need to pick Hoggers' brains. My old Epson colour printer has just died, it only lasted 20 years. Now need a new colour printer for photographs, possible a reasonably priced Canon.
Grateful thanks for any recommendations and/or of experience of using Canon printers.

I had an older HP & an older Epson printer. I wasn’t pleased with either one. Then I switched to Canon and never looked back. Get a Canon Pixma printer for photographs. My last all-in-one cost $60. When I ruined the print head with non-OEM ink, I found a Pro-100 for $100 after rebate and it was great, too. I sold it when I got a deal on a Pro-10 for $100. This is, by far, the best photo printer ever!! ALL of my Canon printers were Pixma and produced excellent photos.
Currently I have a Brother all-in-one for documents. I save on ink with that printer but it produces really lousy photos.
I’ve heard that the new Epsons are good for pictures. I also read that they have more of a clogging problem than the Canon printers, but I have no experience with the newer Epson printers. I just know that I have been extremely happy with all of my Canon printers.
Look for a rebate deal. You know the manufacturer makes their money from the ink, not the printer!!! Also, I only use OEM ink after more than one bad experience with off-brand ink.
Hope this helps!

I just bought a Canon Pro-1000 for $800 at a local camera store. (Store discount + Canon rebate.)
I'm trying to print via Capture One - but finding the color off. It prints fine from a JPEG via MS Office Picture. My monitor is calibrated and I'm using the Canon paper (Pro Luster) profile.
Any Capture One users have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Same here and I agree 100%. I've had mine for 3 yrs. I also have a Canon MX922 which I use for document printing, scanning and some photo printing (smaller sizes). Other than the cost of ink I have no complaints with either printer.

I also agree with the Canon MX922. I think my photos come out great with this printer. Because I like it so much, my son and niece and brother-in-law have all purchased it too. I paid $70 for it a few years back from Best Buy. My son bought his 3 months ago and it was $198 on Amazon.

I find that saving my files to highest resolution jpg's before printing both speeds up the printing dramatically and reduces the need to calibrate the printer/monitor. I would try setting it to let the printer process the color. That being said, you can calibrate your monitor to your printer which is the gold standard.
If you have a copy of photoshop or elements both work great for printing with this printer.
Files with layers seem to slow things down, as does wireless.
