Canons are fine printers and unlike HPs you can pick up aftermarket ink cartridges for $2.99 for black and $3.99 for color. The weakness on that range of canons is that they use seperate printheads and the ink is just tanks. Epsons also have aftermarket cartridges available cheap. Lexmark and HP do not.
