My new Canon i960 has a "silent' feature - but it's so quiet already,
I can't see how it could get any quieter.

I assume by "silentness" you mean 'silent'? I Sorry, but by definition an
inkjet cannot be silent - there are too many moving parts, the printhead
moving across the bar, the rollers drawing the paper, the heads parking at
the end of the print, priming, etc. Some printers are quieter than others,
but there is no such thing as a truly silent inkjet. If you want a virtually
silent (and even they aren't totally quiet) printer, your only choice is a
laser.

Sorry for my bad english, I mean 'silent'.
However I know that all inkjet printers aren't quiet or silent but some
model printer could be more quiet than onother model printer,
I would be to know which model inkjet printers are more silent, thanks.

I'm afraid that's purely subjective. What I might term 'quiet' you might
find unbearable to live with. Personally, I'd rather have a noisy printer
that prints perfectly than a 'silent' one that printed rubbish and I'm sure
there are many here who would agree with me. Many would place quality over
quietness.

The only way is to go to a store and ask to try a few printers. There's
no-one here who can advise you.

One of the more quiet printers would be something along the lines of a
Canon "I" series.....

As compared to a Lexmark, which sounds like a friggen can opener, the
Canon is virtually silent, LOL

They are quiet though. If you were to take a step or two away, you
would have to stare at the paper output to see if its actually
working or not while its printing.

Actually, I usually find Lexmarks are *very* quiet ;-)

The Canon i9950 is very quiet, and I assume the i965 would be similar.

I agree. I have an i9900. It makes some noise if it is preparing
itself to print but once it starts printing you can hardly hear the
printhead moving back and forth. Much quieter than any laser printer
I've had. And I've had quite a few. And it's certainly quieter than
any Epson I've had also.

I'm with you there (I have the same unit).
 
Are you joking? I see a smiley so I guess so..

I don't think you got my hint - very quiet as in dormant, defunct,
kicked the bucket, shuffled off their mortal coil.....

Ah. A dead parrot fan. We need more of those...fans I mean.
 
Well it could just be that the Epson ruined my hearing so I just
"think" the Canon is quiet.

Heh - what does this remind you of?

Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Beep, beep.
Beeeep.... beeeep.... beeeep....
Eee-aw, eee-aw, eee-aw...
Squeeeeaaak, squeeeeaaak, squeeeeaaak
etc.

Bring back fond memories? (Of when you dropped your epson from above
head height into the trash?) : )

Actually I donated two of them to my workplace. (They're in a room I
never go into...under any circumstances).
