Printer arrived today.. There was no shipping invoice or anything, so do I print out the email receipt and use that for the rebate?
RE: ink cartridges - it uses BCI-24 Black/Color - the same as the Canon S200 and S300 use. Black ink (made by Canon, not generic) is ~$8 most places. I happen to have outpost.com open in a window. Their prices are $7/black and $18/color.

A Matter of Fax had the lowest prices on PriceGrabber and a 4of5 stars rating - I've not shopped there and haven't heard anything about them though.
Point being, if you run out of ink and need to buy more at a retail store, it seems like your wallet won't be in for the squeeze that other printers deliver - to buy this printer new was less expensive than a new set of cartridges for my Stylus Photo 750 (which most b&m stores no longer stock).
