HP has let quality seriously slip, and Epson thinks the printer future is with cameras and not computers. So the perennial also-ran, Canon, has stepped in with this worthy successor to the S750.
The i550 is no great breakthrough product. Inkjet printers have become settled commodity items. And they are becoming very cheap. So the question is whether quality has suffered. For the i550, the answer is no. The ink comes in individual tanks for economy and has been reformulated so as not to fade. Speed is comparable to older Canon models and is faster in every mode than most Epsons and Hps. It is interesting that draft mode shows little degradation from standard mode for text and graphics but is noticably faster still and will be the setting of choice for all internal documents. But neither will you be ashamed to send anyhting you print in standard mode out into the world. The type seems crisp and black and the colors are true, at least to my eye.
This is not a photo printer, but to I think it produces pictures as good as any printer(assuming the right paper -- I used the samples from Canon), though real purists may want to invest more for a real photo printer if that is your main use. This is an office printer, and though it has camera-type software, it has no slots for memory sticks. Overall, it's a good all-around unit at [money] and I don't miss my old Epson a bit.

Header: Oh Yeah! Great color and Excellent network set-up too!

I bought this printer after my second Epson died, and neither Epson had a long life. Not only is the color on this printer great, it was a piece of cake to set-up through my Netgear print server! With both my wife and I working professionally and three kids we have a network set-up at home, complete with a laser and color printer.
The Epsons were a major pain to set-up on the network. This Canon i550 was trivial to set-up on the network. Stick the CD in, load the drivers, add the printer via the printer server software and print the test page. One minute, two tops; if you count walking upstairs to the printer from the downstairs computer (most of them are upstairs).
I test printed some photos with regular white paper, and they look great. I can't wait to try this printer out with good photo paper.
This printer is also very quiet. I am very impressed and highly recommend the Canon i550.
