I have multiple Canon printers, s820's, i950 and iP4000. These are
outstanding printers and I've never had any problems with multiple feeds on
any of them. I couldn't say that about my HP 720 that is now collecting dust
in the corner. The worst machine I've ever used (for misfeeding) is my
Lexmark E312 laser. Nice little printer, but the multiple feeds are
horrible. My old HP IIIP was also pretty bad about multiple feeds. As to ink
mileage, I print a lot of photos. With my Canon printers I will usually get
between 45-50 full sheets (8.5 x 11) before the first low ink warning
appears. The other tanks will usually be partially to nearly full. That's a
lot of ink mileage for very, very little money considering I refill. Based
on what I paid for the bulk ink, my per page ink cost is 1.2¢. Barely more
than a penny. I think you may be confusing the very low end Canons which use
an integrated printhead similar to HP or Lexmark. Canon printers which use
individual ink tanks are great printers.
