We have used the ip5200R for about 6 months now. We are printing 20 to 50 A4
sheets om plain paper a day. And a few photos from time to time.
Very good printer, very fast and silent.
Good photo quality but dont use HP paper. It gets blurred in the black
areas. Looks as if the ink does not penetrate the paper.
We use it in a Wireless network connecting to a Linksys BEFW11S4 router and
allthough this router is only 11Mb it is still fast. Speed limitation is not
the network but my PC I think , because it is the same printing speed as
when I use USB 2.0
The only problem we have had, is using DHCP where the IP addresses changes
from time to time so I have found that a manual IP adress outside the DHCP
automatic adress range is a stable solution.

!! The ink is VERY EXPENSIVE though.!!

So I refill using the same Inktec ink as for the ip5000. The printer gives
some warnings when the cartridge is empty. We just ignore/accept that and
check the inklevel once a week. When a cartridge is below half full, I
refill.

it would be nice to know what ink you are buying from your relabeler.
be sure to print heavy loads to minimize the risk of clogging. your
printer calls for canon's newest formulated ink so you definitely are
using the wrong formulation of ink that may invalidate your warranty.
