Canon Pixma iP4700 review

Envelopes?

Can it print DL and C5 envelopes?

Envelopes...!!

We currently run a laser brother HL-4040CN and an injet Canon Pixma ip4700. The brother is about a year old. the canon is new. The brother is an absolute dog with envelopes and is beginning to splat toner over the print outs. However we'll use for internal stuff untill anything need replacing! So that's the reason we went back to good ol' inkjet upon a good write up in PC Pro magazine. Anyway the print quality IS superior - however it too is an absolute dog with C5 and DL envelopes! So now we have a pack of dogs! Please can anybody recommend a printer which, through their usage experience, can actually print envelopes??

ENVELOPE PROBLEM

Could Stephen Elms please clarify the envelope problem. I am looking to buy this model specifically as it offers a second input device that I will keep loaded with DLs
Thanks

I bought an Ip4600 on the recommendation of PCPro. I'm sitting here right now waiting for it to start. It's quick once it gets going but it must faff on for about 2 minutes before it starts. Every time. Goodness only knows what it's doing. It is particularly bad if the ink is getting down a bit, even if there is easily enough to do the job. I think I'll try something else next time :-(

Envelopes under linux

The linux drivers, only available on the European Canon web site, are rudmentary compared to the WIN drivers. Thus, when set to the N°10 envelop, under linux (Mandriva), the IP4700 cuts off about an inch of the left side of the envelop from the printable area. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

iP4700 problem printing from photoshop

Very poor prints from photoshop, picturs very pale speckely. prints ok with bundled easy print. I contacted Canon but they were not interested in helping. Has any one had this problem and cured it?

I too found the IP4600 very very slow to start unless you remembered to set fast mode, it used a huge amount of ink and as the carts were tiny cost a fortune to run, it finally gave up the ghost after 13 months second Canon (IP4500 printhead)to go that way I won't be buying another

I have had great envelope printing with 6x3.5 ins., DL(plain and window), C5(plain and window) DL and C5 incl self seal, with Epson Stylus Photo R800. Yes it is expensive and was purchased mainly for photo printing, which it does superbly.
