Canon BJC 85 InkJet Printer

Nice portable printer. Fairly light weight. Replacement batteries not easily found though. Cartridges run out pretty quickly so keep you a spare on hand.

I bought this to replace the same exact item I previously owned. It lasted many years of daily nation-wide travel and regular use. This printer has never let me down, and is worth the price. It has the option of scanning using a cartidge sold separately. Scanning works well, but a drawback is that only flat, sheet-fed items can be scanned.

Product delivered day earlier than promised and in excellent shape due to careful packing and attention to detail.

I'm very pleased that the printer I purchased was exactly as the pictures showed it, it arrived quickly, and it works great!

Saved my vacation, the only downside is the small cartridges (black especially) they are hard to find in Hawaii and I didn't realize they only are good for about 15-20 pages, but if you are prepared and take plenty of them with you (only $7.95 eac) this is a GREAT printer!

This guy's product matches the description! It was really nice to open it up, plug it in and have it work! What a concept! Thanks!

Needed portable printer for my busines.
Exactly what I was looking for - perfect condition exelent printig quality.

Needed a portable printer to replace my bubble jet 85 that finally bit the dust after MUCH use - this one works perfectly and I can continue on my work day without fear that the printer will stop.

After purchasing what was descrided as, a "Near Mint Condition" printer and instead receiving a nonworking printer, I have been waiting for over a month now, on Paypal to decided whether this was different than described and whether I wil receive my money back. If that is enough of a problem, Ebay gave my personal email address to this seller, who sent me several vulgar emails because I placed an unfavorable remark on his ratings. This can't get much worse you say. Wrong!!! Imagine now that since this other person has my email address that I receive about 100 spam emails a day, but since the seller used his personal email address to attack me, ebay can do nothing about it.

I BOUGHT THE PORTABLE PRINTER BECAUSE I DO INVESTIGATIVE WORK AND SOMETIMES TAKE STATEMENTS FROM PEOPLE AT WORK LOCATIONS ETC.. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WRITING THE REPORTS AT THE LOCATION MYSELF BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO WRITE THERE STATEMENT THEMSELVES, JUST READ IT AND SIGN IT.SO... I NOW USE MY LAPTOP COMPUTER WITH THIS PRINTER IN MY CAR AND THE STATEMENTS ARE NEAT AND PRINTED AT THELOCATION FOR THE PEOPLE TO SIGN.

This printer has not been manufactured by Canon for several years. Because of its portability, it was designated as the standard printer by many Japanese machinery manufacturers. Our company has several Japanese produced machines capable of printing their associated machines settings, but we did not have this printer to do so. Now we do! The bonus to this printer is that Canon still produces the ink cartridges and print heads.

Having a business that keeps me out in the field, I needed to be able to print from my laptop. The Canon BJC85 Injet printer was recommended to me by a colleague who also had been using one for several months, and liked it very much. Not a lot of fancy bells and whistles to break. It is light weight and fits in a rolling briefcase right along side of my laptop. I'm not sure, but I think there might even be a battery pack available for it.

Do you go on vacation, take your laptop to scout out restaurants and entertainment, then need to print out directions - or a discount coupon? Do you travel for work, and need to print out client copies, maps, or data? Are you a professional musician who needs to print out - at the JOB, yet! - a vocal part in another key, or a transposed alto sax part, because the sax player didn't pack their tenor sax, or the singer has *issues* with the original key? I've been in all 3 situations, and added to all the other things I need to carry, this little printer looks like it is going to start saving my sanity. It's smaller than a 1 1/2 dozen egg carton- not as thick - and prints decent copies. Ink tank is small - but it's easy to carry spares (not much bigger than a Zippo lighter). The electric pack weighs more than this does! You need to swap out the ink for color, and it does not handle many sheets at once - but your not at HOME, remember? I have even used it for the "second computer" station in my house - it's fine. You can get a scanner attachment for it as well, but I do not need that - got the big guy at home. This printer takes NORMAL paper - beware some of the portable printers that only use special thermal paper. Got mine for less than $40, used - I've spent money on things far less useful. Got to judge a music competition in 2 weeks - instead of hand-writing all those comments, I can load in the adjudication sheet, even drag in the stock comments ("Be sure to always use you best breath support.", etc.), add my specifics, and hit print - saving time AND writer's cramp, right there in the studio! If you already carry a laptop, I bet YOU will find great uses for this little cutie, too! Just remember - everything weighs *something*, so get yourself a nice rolling bag for all your stuff!

I love this printer! I travel a lot with my job, and not all places have office facilities available. With this very portable printer, I can print forms, fill them out, and with the IS-12 scanner cartridge, scan and send them via email on the spot. Very convenient. I carried a BJ 80 for almost 10 years, and it finally died. I was glad to find this printer on ebay; it works great.

Great printer for most jobs on the road. Is small and ligfht weight. The only drawback is it lacks a little in graphics resolution. Can become a scanner with additional accessory.

My wife has a similar unit and loves hers. The price of the one that I bought was extremely attractive.

The unit worked perfectly right out of the box.

I needed a small, portable printer and nothing else fills the bill as well as this unit. It works well, is light and with the optional cartridge I bopught I dcan use it as a scanner! Double duty with virtually no more weight or volume.

This printer is without a doubt the best printer ever made, by any company, ever. I bought a bjc-80 in 1998 (Exactly the same printer without usb connection)used it every day on the road for 5 years, not one problem. I went to buy a new one just in case and found that canon quit making them. PANIC... this caused me to go to ebay for the 1st time. The bidding was frantic. No other used printer draws this interest. As with any used product, you never know though.

Great portable printer! Fits inside my computer case, replacement cartridges are ver inexpensive. Great deal!!!!!!

We have had all the different models created by canon,
1) Low cost ink refills
2) Low cost head replacement
3) Ease of head and ink change
4) Wireless connection !!
5) USB or Parallel
6) House computer can use it and Laptop at the same time (wifi Par)
7) Small enough to fit in bag
8) Stronger than most of the others
9) Software is perfect you say print and it prints > period
Good Buy :)

The fact that this is battery powered, very small and reasonably quick all met my criteria for a printer.This also can be used as a scanner. I purchased a new printer in the box and received extra ink cartages and containers to travel with open cartridges. This is a printer tha a c-oworker has been using for some years and had been impressed with the size and reliability, plus the fact that he had seemed to been able to print on anything from plastic to envelopes convinced me of its durability and flexibility, both fantastic attributes.

The variation of materials you can use is wonderful and the results are superb. The printer has very high quality and would recommend this product to anyone.

This is a great little printer, its slow but you can't beat the print quality. I brought it because my printer stopped working and its portable. The portability was the big selling point for me. I love it!!
