Pros: it's an excellent printer, well built and prints beautifully.
Also it is well integrated with Mac X 10.5 and Adobe CS3.
Cons: the usual one, the ink is too expensive.
 Great WHEN it works, but that isn't often December 28, 2008

I've had this printer for a year now. When it was actually printing as designed, it produced beautiful pictures. It worked perfectly for exactly one month. After that I started getting the error messages "5C00" and "5100". I've never been able to find out in any detail what they mean or how to repair the problem. I was gone from home for about 8 months and when I came back it suddenly worked again, no messages ... for about 2-3 weeks. Then I got the messages again and no matter how many times I unplugged, restarted, reinstalled drivers, etc, I couldn't get it to work. After a few weeks of this it miraculously started working again. Now it gives me the error randomly about 25% of the time I try to use it and as soon as I unplug and restart the printer the message usually goes away. However, it's also learned a new trick: the non-existent paper jam, reminiscent of Office Space. It will sometimes tell me I need to fix a paper jam when there is, without a doubt, nothing inside the machine. Other times it will say there is a jam when the paper is going through normally without any problems. This is especially annoying because it has, just in the last few days, developed the habit of pulling in a sheet of paper every time I turn it on and, sometimes, randomly while it's just sitting there. Whenever it makes this decision to suck in paper without anything in the print queue it always puts the paper halfway through the machine and then stops and "jams". I'm done with this printer. I have three Canon cameras which I love and I've never had a problem with any of them, but this is the first and last Canon printer I will buy.

I purchased this printer from Amazon after seeing one at a local store. Amazon had the best price and shipping was free and fast. I unboxed it and followed the instructions for setup. After loading the drivers and software as instructed. I printed some pictures from our son's wedding in large format. The results were fabulous. My wife immediately replaced the professionally done pictures with my freshly printed ones. We are very pleased with this printer. I can strongly recommend this printer to anyone wishing to print professional quality photos at home.
 poor quality product & terrible service December 21, 2008

I bought a Canon Pixma Pro9000 a couple years ago and haven't use it very often. I have the printer covered when I wasn't using it. A few months ago, I found there was a problem with the sheet feeder. I called Canon, the tech I spoke to couldn't fix the problem over the phone, so he suggested that I bring the printer to one of their authorized service stores, which I did.
I sent the print to Barnett Business in NY. A few weeks later, the service store called me back telling me the sheet feeder has to be replaced and it cost ~$120. I said OK. A few more weeks later, they told me that the circuit board has to be replaced, and it costs about $120-$130. This time I told them "NO". If I have to spend $300 ($76 labor fee) to repair an old printer, I might as well buy a new one.
When I got my printer back, I found that the printhead stuck on the side when I turn the power on. Before I sent the printer to the repair shop, the printhead will move to the center when I open the lid. I took the printer apart, and discovered that all my ink cartridges were either empty, near empty or half full. When I sent the printer to the repair shop, all tanks were FULL.
This printer is my 2nd Canon printer, I own a Canon i860, One of the printhead of that printer failed in a couple of years. I also have HP & Epson printers, they all lasted longer than Canon printers.
My advice to those who are looking to buy a printer: Avoid Canon printers.
Fantastic! December 18, 2008

(Warning - my first amazon review):
This printer produces outstanding results. I have had a few other Canon & HP photo printer. While I have always had a slight preference for the 'look' of Canon printers, the Pro9000 has just blown me away.
As I have already stated, the printer produces amazing results. The other aspect that I find extremely useful is the flexibility built into the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro Photoshop Plug-in. This creates all the customizability I need to ensure that my prints come out exactly as I expect - though I would recommend playing around with the options to find out how they work.
The Canon Fine-Art papers are terrific, but I would warn that they are not printable borderless - Museum Etching & Photo Rag have max prints sizes around 11x16 or so, not the full 13x19. A black & white picture printed with the 'greyscale' option checked (it uses only black ink) rivals any black & white produced in a dark room.
In summary this printer is a fantastic deal for anyone looking for a 13x19 printer that is easy to use & produces results better than you can find at a photo-lab.
