I got a printer this weekend as my Christmas present to myself. I got a [Canon PIXMA MP600](http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=116&modelid=13800), a multifunction color inkjet. The multifunctions have gotten cheap enough recently that there isn’t much point in getting something else. I wanted to be able to scan and print photos.
The copier function came in handy today. I also used it to print addresses on envelopes. And write the first paper letter in a long time. I am planning on printing labels for Christmas cards and maybe some photos for including in them.
