Default OT: Anyone have a Canon S630 or S600 printer, comments?

I have a Lexmark Z51 and LOVED it, loved the photos, etc. It only cost me like $100 and was a great deal. Except like many others once the ink well dried up the printer can not print for the life of it. I thought it might be drivers since I am running XP now, but they have full XP drivers, and did not change a thing. I did some searching around and found out this happens A LOT. So I guess it is time to get a new printer. I do not want to spend more then $200 since I have access to just about any kind of printer at work, so I just need a real good photo/general purpose printer at home. I was looking at the Canon S630, the S600 is $50 less, but I want to make sure they do just as well. Thanks in advance for any comments

I have a S600 on order, and it should arrive anyday. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I don't get it! When the ink runs dry? Explain please. I have Z-53 and it's great!

Default When you ink is low, the ink will dry. Plus the ink in the well will dry up also

Once it does your print outs look like complete crap. I wish I could show you what it looks like, but the colors no longer match up. I am worried about buying new cartriges since they are so expensive I do not want to buy some and it would not fix the problem. If you check out Cnet.com and search for Z51 and look at the reviews/opinions you will see a lot of the same problems.

But isn't that what happens to every printer when the ink gets low?

does the printer not have a clean nozzles function? Epson has a utility for that and works well.

Default I have an S800

I have an S800 - got it for printing on glossy photo paper. It prints very well on this type of paper - you can't even tell it's the photo hasn't been processed. However, plain paper is so so in image quality.

I have heard nothing but good things about the S600. I wish I would have bought that one actually. BTW, the S800 has 6 ink cartridges and not the 4 that are in the S600. This gives the photos that extra clarity.

I don't think you can go wrong for the price with either model.
