Key Advantages

The Canon CP-220 offers affordable color printing for home and small office users with its bubble jet technology. It supports individual ink cartridges which help reduce ink wastage and lowers ongoing costs. The device's compact footprint helps users save space in tight office environments. Its compatibility with multiple operating systems makes driver installation straightforward. The printer delivers consistent output quality with decent color reproduction for its era. Additionally, the easy-to-use software suite enhances user control over print settings and maintenance.

Limitations

The CP-220 has a relatively slow print speed compared to modern printers, with a first page out time near one minute. Its resolution of 600 x 600 dpi can be considered low by today's standards, affecting photo print quality. The printer uses a USB 1.1 interface which limits data transfer speed compared to newer connection types. It has limited onboard memory (16MB), restricting large or complex print jobs. Media handling options such as sheet feeding capacity and supported paper types are minimal. Furthermore, the printer lacks network connectivity, making sharing within an office a challenge.
