I bought a Canon IP1600 ... it was like $49.99 so I added a little cash and got 2 packs of paper, an extra color ink cartridge, and an extra black ink cartridge. When I got it home, no USB cable present. Canon doesn't even ship a cable with it ... wotta joke. I am taking it back for a refund and getting something else.
Grendel I saw the 8250 at Best Buy when I bought this piece of crap ... why do you like it?

No printers come with the USB cable. That's the reason we had the $20 USB cables hanging above the printers... without 'em you're screwed.
The reason is that they're selling the printer at a loss. They're not gonna throw in the cable with it as well. They make all their money on the ink (as does the store... Staples' margin on HP ink was around 46%).

) -- amazing print quallity. Plus the 8250 has seperate ink cartriges (ie. each color has it's own), that's cheaper than having the 3-in-1 cartriges.Gren: not true (for most consumers, anyway). Unless you are printing large amounts of one particular color (think company logos) one combined cartridge is almost always a money-saver over three individual cartridges with the same amount of ink, as all three colors tend to drain at the same rate. Not only is there the cost of the additional plastic and circuitry in the two other cartridges, there's a higher overall retail markup. This is straight from the mouth of the Canon sales rep.
Keep in mind the above is for general snapshot printing. If you print mostly seascapes, for example, then it might be beneficial to get a printer with three (or more) independent colors. If you print a lot of portraits, then a six-color inkjet is a must. If you've got cash to burn, go with the Canon nine-color printers (C, M, Y, K, Pc, Pm, R, Gr, Gy).
