Available online or in-store at this price. All my local stores stock it, per their in-store locator.
Caveat: it has no paper output tray or fold out holder to catch printed pages - it just shoots them out and they fall to the desk. That kills the deal for me since I want to put this on a shelf above my desk and don't want my printed pages falling all over the place.
Also, the FIFTEEN30 coupon code is invalid.
Otherwise, this is a terrific deal and gets solid reviews on Amazon. Even on eBay it would cost a lot more than $19.99 to get replacement ink cartridges for my Canon Pixma ip2600 I bought from Newegg a few years ago for $15 shipped. Should have bought 6 of them at that price.

As an unfortunate previous owner of this printer, stay away. This thing will BLEED YOU DRY in rapacious ink prices. The ink cost is outrageous, the printer won't accept any ink cartridges other than official Canon ink (the printer checks for a chip in the cartridge), an if ANY of the ink is low it won't let you print at all even if your black ink is full. I don't mean to thread crap, but I thought I would warn people before they spend their money on this.

It's not thread crapping. The #1 rule of buying a printer is finding out how much the ink costs and if you can buy 3rd party ink/refill.

and if you can print if ANY of the ink is low... Kodak ink is cheap, but it won't let you if ANY of the ink is low ...

I'm assuming this comes with starter carts. How many pages do the starter carts do?

one cannot go wrong with this printer, online ink prices for the 2 cartridges of ink that is included in the box is $42.00 so if you are paying $20.00 you can throw the printer away when the ink is all gone, why pay that much for ink when you can get both for half the price of ink alone

Disposable printer at that price... just buy a new printer when it runs out.

You are confusing the XL ink cartridges and the regular size. The XL size set retails for $47. However, this printer comes with regular size set, which retails for $33 but is easily available for $20-25 on the internet.
