Canon Pixma MP560 Printer Driver Free Download– The Canon PIXMA MP560 has the same faux-luxury look in most of its lineup, with silver sides and scanner lid plus black edges, back, and control panel. The control panel cover hides it when the printer is not in use and when folded displays a 50mm LCD panel.
A comprehensive set of controls includes soft keys linked to the view and a click wheel for scrolling through menu options. There are separate buttons for black and color prints and one for stopping the current job. On the front are two indicator LEDs and the third is labeled Wi-Fi, to indicate wireless activity.
There are two separate paper sources on the machine: a 150-sheet paper tray with a lifting stand on the back and a 150-sheet cassette, which slides from the front. Canon recommends using the rear tray for photo blanks and a cassette for plain paper, but it is possible to use either media in either tray.
Below the control panel on the front is a hinged plastic cover for a set of three memory card readers. It provides CompactFlash, SD, MemoryStick, and xD and there’s a PictBridge socket under the card slot, which doubles as a USB socket. You can print from a USB drive or scan through this socket.
On the back of the PIXMA MP560, there is a single USB socket, but there is also wireless support. It includes quick setup protocols for major fast link systems, making secure wireless connections to most modern routers incredibly simple.
The printer supports five ink cartridges, with a small black photo in addition to the larger standard black cartridge used for printing text on plain paper. Each cartridge is connected to a printhead and Canon’s system of LED indicators shows when the cartridge is properly inserted and when the ink is low.
Drivers are provided for Windows and OS X, although no support is mentioned for Linux. Canon provides a good software package with the printer, which includes OCR software to support scanners and WebPrint EX for easy printing of web pages.
Canon is more honest than most with its speed claims and rates the PIXMA MP560 at 9.2ppm black printing and 6.0ppm color. Even this modest speed was difficult to duplicate in tests, especially since the machine wanted to take short breaks for cartridge cleaning during most print jobs.
Printing our 5-page text took 53 seconds, the equivalent of 5.7ppm and on a longer 20-page document it still only increased to 7ppm. Our black text and color graphics work returned a speed of 3.3ppm, just over half the rated speed.
Even this speed, however, is not far from the main competition. However, when you look at the duplex print performance, they look like cheetahs. Our 20-page, duplex document prints on 10 sheets, delivering a speed of 2.0 sides per minute, which is so slow that many people won’t duplex at all.
Print quality is in line with what we’d expect from Canon and is great for both plain and photo paper. Black text is quite heavy on the page but still gives a clean feel, making it easy to read. Colors are also well reproduced and while there are some obvious patterns of trepidation in lighter shades, such as yellow, the overall result is clean and bright.
The colors in our test photocopy were close to the original, with only a slightly lighter tone to the color. Our test photos, printed in the machine’s best photo mode, provide smooth color gradation and lots of detail in the lighter areas of the image. However, the colors are a little too rich, especially the reds, and some shadow detail is missing.
Four ink cartridges are the only running cost on this machine and there is only one version each, so all you can do is look around for the best price. Using the best prices we’ve found gives a cost per black page of ISO 3.3p, with 7.4p for an ISO equivalent color page.
These costs are pretty good, for example, between 1p and 2p lower than the £110 Brother MFC-5490CN, which clocks in at 4.3p and 9.3p equivalent costs.
Sitting roughly halfway between the PIXMA MP490, with its dual-cartridge design and no duplex printing, and the faster PIXMA MP640 with its CD and DVD prints, Canon’s PIXMA MP560 is a good mid-range all-in-one inkjet. Even though the duplex printing is sent.
