I bought this machine used, advertised as working fine. I was not disappointed. It chugs away, doing what it was built to do very well.
I will admit, I wanted to get one of the Canon models that could be set up to print directly on inkjet-printable CD's, and the 6600D can be enabled to do so with the purchase of a Canon CD tray "C." The more recent models cannot be modified to do this, at least as I write this.
CD-printing is generally not enabled on US versions of the many Canon printers that possess this ability--patent issues, perhaps?
The CD-printing issue aside, I'm also tickled to watch this affordable printer suck paper in and out to print on two sides (the auto duplex feature) and I love having 2 different ways to feed paper, the automatic feeder up high and the cassette down under.
The automatic feeder on top is great because it bends the paper very little, if at all, and feeding of stock is helped by gravity. I printed some 4" by 6" photos, and sent them to my mom, who called today to say she liked them very much. Labels printed from the automatic feeder were precise and beautiful. No wasted labels!
The cassette feeder below seems to be mainly for plain paper and duplexing. It worked great also, printing out a lab report on 2 sides that I wanted to take with me to a doctor appointment.
As for the direct-CD printing, I followed the setup directions available on the internet, and ordered the tray.
Did it work? Yes it did. And all these years I've been labeling CD's with markers! First try looked great! What a great tool!
