It scored 0.81ppm for 4圆 photo prints the Dell was the next fastest, with a score of 0.74ppm. The Pixma MP470 produced color graphics prints at a rate of 2.10ppm, however, while none of the other three $100 printers we looked at broke the 2.0ppm mark. The Lexmark x5470 was faster with a score of 6.90ppm, and the Dell Photo 926 was even faster than the Lexmark at 7.60ppm. It printed text at a pokey 5.45pages per minute. Its scans were right in line with everyone else's.
If you browse to My Computer on your PC, however, you'll find the memory card reader listed as a drive, and from there, you can drag and drop the photo files to your PC.Īmong its comparably priced competition, the Canon Pixma MP470 was slow with text prints, but quick with graphics and 4圆 photos.

One final note: we couldn't initiate a transfer of photos from memory card to the attached PC using the printer's control panel. When printing the proof sheet, you can include only photos within a particular date range. Alternatively, you can print a scannable proof sheet that allows you to select photos on the proof sheet, and then scan the proof sheet to print just those photos. You can print the index sheet in the standard layout with small thumbnails and images labeled by number, or you can print larger thumbnails in a layout that makes them look like negatives. We don't like how the Print All option is buried in a third-level menu we prefer it to be a top-level menu option. Special photo print options include print all, sticker prints, special layouts, and index prints. You can step through the files on a card and manually initiate prints individually, or you can go through the entire card, mark all the ones you want printed, and make a batch print. Printing from a memory card offers a lot of options. The MP Navigator EX utility allows you to edit the photo (in the case of photo scans), turn scans into PDFs, attach them to e-mails, or convert scans to editable text using optical character recognition software. With the Pixma MP470, the scan pops up in Canon's MP Navigator EX utility you can't instruct the scanner to scan to a program such as Word or Photoshop. We're accustomed to selecting a program from a list of options on the printer's menu and having the resulting scan pop open in that program. The main scan menu lets you choose between scanning the file to your PC (you can specify where you want it saved via a file tree), attaching the scan to an e-mail, scanning to PDF, or scanning into a program. Special copy features include borderless copy, sticker copy, frame-erase copy (for photocopying books), and image repeat. Standard copy lets you make up to 99 copies and reduce or enlarge from 25 to 400 percent. The feature set is standard for an all-in-one in this price range. As it's a photo-oriented, home all-in-one printer, it lacks fax and network connectivity. The Canon Pixma MP470 offers copy, scan, and photo print features. These costs are a little higher than those for the HP Photosmart C4280, but still reasonable for low-end multifunction inkjet printer. Using the large tanks for best value, we estimate that a black-only print costs about 5.6 cents, while a four-color page costs about 13.7 cents. The regular black costs $16 (220 prints) and the regular color costs $20 (205 prints), while the large black costs $20 (355 prints) and the large color costs $25 (308 prints). It ships with regular capacity cartridges, but you can replace both with high-capacity versions. The Pixma MP470 uses a two-tank ink system: one black and one tricolor. Buttons include task buttons for copy, scan, and memory card modes, menu navigation buttons, and two start buttons-one for black-only and one for color. The control panel is basic, though well-organized. Embedded on the underside of the panel is a 1.8-inch graphical LCD. The control panel is hidden underneath a flip-up panel on the top side of the printer.
The one thing you can't attach to the USB port is a flash thumbdrive the Dell Photo 926 lets you print files from an attached flash drive.

You can use it to connect PictBridge cameras for direct printing, or to attach an optional Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) for wireless printing.
Hidden away under the memory cards is a PictBridge-enabled USB port (it's so hidden that we missed it on first inspection). The slots accept most common types of memory cards, though some require an adapter (which is not included). Next to the output tray is a small door that conceals two memory card slots. A paper input support flips open in the rear and the front panel of the printer folds open to serve as the output tray. Because the MP470 lacks an automatic document feeder, you can't scan legal-size documents. The silver scanner lid conceals an A4-size flatbed scanner.
The black-and-silver body measures 17.7 inches wide, 13.9 inches deep, and 6.7 inches tall. The Canon Pixma MP470 uses the same basic design as the Pixma MP510.
