I am very glad though that I did not go with the separate component option and get the HP Photosmart 7560 along with the Canon 8800f. I would tend to trust Canon's optics over Epson's in any case. I felt good knowing that the same scanner element is used in this highly rated scanner as they use in the MP990. The Canon 8800f scanner was my alternate choice if I was to go with a separate scanner and printer option.
Still exploring the available Canon color profiles to find an optimal profile for converting RGB scans to CMYK.

I did confirm that so far I have not been able to make the scanner function work via Ethernet connection using the Photoshop 'Import' plugin nor from the Canon "Solutions Menu" software utility, but after I connected a USB cable then I was able to use the USB plugin and got some nice reflective scans. I did not setup the built in wireless in the printer so I can't vouch for it's function yet.

Installation and setup of the drivers on my Macs was uneventful and printer setup was simple, you just have to think about it a minute and proceed slowly following the directions I downloaded the latest drivers and application installer from the Canon website and got the unit operating on Ethernet in short order I connected it to the Ethernet hub I have connected to my Airport Extreme and so far have confirmed connectivity from my wireless laptop via this method, I have yet to run it through it's paces though and conduct relative speed tests between Airport and built-in wireless. When my grey cart goes empty I will confirm whether or not the scanner and copy functions are operable or not and report back. This confirms others' statements that you should stock up on grey ink carts as they are the most difficult to find and you go through them fastest. The other cartridges are soon to follow except the Pigment black cart which is quite a bit larger and is used more for text printing I believe. My grey ink cartridge has just displayed the "!" warning that it is getting low. I have printed about 60 4圆 prints and 4 8x10 photo prints so far with this printer as well as a few text pages using the starter cartridges. The fact that Canon printers require you to replace an empty ink cartridge before you can use the scanner is in my opinion a major strategic flaw in their marketing plan. I was dissuaded from Canon printers and AIOs after reading many of the previous complaints about older models, the bad chip issue with the first generation ink cartridges, the dreaded U150 error that so many of their models displayed. I have a laser printer that I print most of my text docs to so the Epson was too finicky for me. The Epson always seemed to get clogged again and again unless I used it very regularly. I had a bad experience with my last Epson RX600 which just up and died on me one day.
I will try to explain my rationale so that this review can be of help to someone who likes to know everything about a product that they can before they buy like me. I spent more than 14 months researching printers, scanners and all-in-ones before I bought this unit. I will follow up as I explore the different features. I have owned the MP990 for about a month and I thought it was time to start my review.
