Printer News: Canon PIXMA MX300 Prints Photos and Text, Copies, Scans, and Faxes

In baseball, scouts always have their eyes peeled for the elusive "five-tool" player who can hit for average, hit for power, run, throw, and field. In the world of printers, Canon's new PIXMA All-In-Ones have the five tools that all top multifunction devices possess: photo printing, document printing, faxing, copying, and scanning. At 15.5 pounds, the PIXMA MX300 weighs in as the lightest and most compact of the new models.

This new inkjet prints and copies in color at 17 ppm and in black at 22 ppm. In addition, the PIXMA MX300 belts out a 4x6 inch photo in 46 seconds. You can print PC-free via any camera or camcorder equipped with PictBridge. And if you have a camera phone with PictBridge, you can print wirelessly from up to 8 inches away. Canon PIXMA MX300 shipped in August 2007 at an MSRP of $99.99.
