Hmm, cheapest I found the MG2520 was $30 shipped including ink. Not bad, and still pretty low. I'd expect the minimum for a wireless printer-scanner with ink, shipped, to be $40 or so. $9 shipping, $3 wireless chip, $5 ink, $9 plastic/frame, $5 motors/print heads, that's already $31. (I could be off, of course.) I wonder how much, if anything, Canon loses on the printer, and how many people buy replacement ink.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoThe $20 price comes and goes. Micro Center was where you could easily pick it up for that regularly. And it's not wireless, FYI. The new version is the MG2522, which is currently $25 at Micro Center, and a wireless model, the MG3620, is $40.
