    i think printer is an acessory to a laptop, right? if not... sorry, i wasn't sure where to post this.

    i am in between 2 printers by cannon and was wondering what you would suggest? i have compared them and read reviews on them but they seem to be pretty similar to one another... so i am hoping i can get some users reviews on them?

    canon pixma mp 530

    Take the 700. But are you sure you need a all-in-one?

    As long as the printers use the same tank system and has the same inktanks it doesn't really matter and you should just buy the cheapest one of the two.
