Not exactly what you'd consider quiet
Great quality prints for the price, but it's definitely not "Quiet". The feeder makes a loud noise when it pulls down the paper. This would definitely be too loud if you're using it at night with someone in the room sleeping. I've gotten over 50 prints already with the stocked black ink cartridge and I'm almost out. I would recommend buying the Pixma MG 2420 instead. It's the same price and you can find it for less if you search for it. It is a newer model and it is all in one.
Update: I've been using this printer for a while now. It can easily be refilled, I've gotten over 800 prints using the same stock cartridges. To reset printer after refill, you'd have to press and hold the power button after it's completely on. Hold it until the green LED light stops flashing, then turn off your printer and restart it. Your computer may not recognize the ink level afterwards but it will still print. (If you have problems feel free to leave a comment because the reset method is different if you refilled your ink while it is low, and when you refilled it when it is completely empty.)
The review by A.Price is a bit misleading. You can easily get the cable for around $5 on amazon, or less on eBay or Newegg. You're not required to to follow through the alignment procedure. You can simply ignore it, or just go to My Printer>Printer Settings>Maintenance>Print Alignment Value (Without clicking on 'Align Print Head'). (I may be wrong, but each time I refill my inkjet, I'm not required to follow through a 15 minute 'intensive' printing alignment.)
The printer itself is still on the louder side, even though it is stated to be quiet. And for you ink savers, you can always adjust the darkness of the ink in the settings. Keep in mind, this is a inkjet printer, if you want something that'd last longer, invest in a laser printer. Once you figure out how to refill properly, this printer does wonder, except when you do the duplex printing, sometimes it'd feed in a wrong sheet of paper, and throw off your whole prints order.
