Ditto that - got my mother the C6180 for xmas and was blown away by  
the price, quality of all the functions, and excellent Mac  
compatibility. I've been very down on inkjets in principle (we use  
only a b/w laser at home, and use services like snapfish and adorama  
for  color prints), but this device turned me around on that point.  
Apparently the newer inkjets don't dry out before they're used up,  
which is a huge leap forward. The only rub was that we couldn't get  
the CF ports to talk to the Mac over a powered USB hub - tech support  
(which was also excellent) said that would probably only work with a  
direct USB connection, which made no sense to me, but I took his word  
for it. Also, faxing electronic documents from the mac out through  
the device was so unintuitive it required a call to tech support, but  
once explained worked fine.
