Formats / Compatibility (0)
As one of Canon’s low-end printers, the iP1800 can not be connected to any cameras, so PictBridge or other direct print formats are not usable.
Media Slots (0)
The iP1800 features no media slots, so all printing has to be conducted with the computer connection. For a printer billing itself as a photo printer, it’s shameful that there are no media card slots or direct print options, even at this price. Users have to upgrade to the iP330 for $79.99 to get a direct print port; media cards don’t become an option until you reach the $99.99 mark, with the iP6310D. HP’s lowest cost photo printer, the Photosmart D5160 at $89.99, does feature media card slots and a direct print port.
Wireless Interface (0)
Wireless connection to cell phones or other mobile devices is not possible with the iP1800. Stepping up a model or two in the Canon roster, to the Pixma iP6310D, or up and over to the HP Photosmart D5160, will get the consumer this feature with the purchase of additional hardware—a Bluetooth adapter.
Network (0)
No networking options are available with this stripped-down printer. This is on par with other printers in this price class. In this price range, only the Lexmark Z845 offers Ethernet connectivity as an option.
