That makes a four-color page 13.8 cpp at best, which is about average for an inkjet MFP.Canon PIXMA MG2120 is an all-in-one photo inkjet printer that can print, duplicate, and scan in expert quality.

The tri-color CL-241XL cost $30 and lasts for 400 pages, or 7.5 cpp. The $38, 600-page PG-240XXL black cartridge is only slightly cheaper at 6.3 cpp.

They’re not terribly accurate in terms of their color palette, skewing orangeish even on Canon’s own photo paper. Color graphics have a warm, friendly vibe. Text is not laserlike, but certainly serviceable, even for business correspondence. The quality of the Pixma MG2120’s output is about the same as that produced by other Canon Pixma MG-series printers.

Scans and copies on the other hand, are a on par with, or quicker than, those of most MFPs. The full-page photo we print from the Mac takes a little less than 4 minutes, or 0.3 ppm–a bit slower than the norm. Text prints at about 5.8 pages per minute on the PC, and 5.7 ppm on the Mac 4-by-6-inch photos print at 2.4 ppm on plain paper and at about half that rate on glossy photo paper. The output from the Pixma MG2120 is decently fast considering the price and its intended low-volume usage.

Fortunately, Apple’s own Add Printer installation found, downloaded, and installed a suitable driver for the unit. Mac users, however, will be disappointed: You’ll find no manual duplexing support for the Mac, and Canon’s solution for supporting Lion (OS X 10.7) was to send me to a website where I could find no download specifically for the Pixma MG2120, only those for more expensive models.
