Question 1

can this print on legal paper too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the printer options do allow the user to select legal paper as a print option.  I have not tried this since I do not use legal paper.

Question 2

I see this printer apparently has direct print to CD/DVD capability. Has any user had experience using this capability? Is there any software provided by Canon so that a user can design the printed CD or DVD? Or does this feature only allow the user to copy an existing CD or DVD to another disk? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes the canon software let's you make your own. You can import pictures, change the size,  move them around and you get some editing tools to clean up the images. You can also add layers so you can put text over your image and a bunch of other options i didn't play with. 
The only bad thing is you have to have printable disks,  I tested printing on a normal disk and it works but after an hour it didn't really dry.  Now is not ment to print on non printable disks but I had to try.  The cd print tray is nice and it stores under the normal paper try.

Question 3

How fast will this unit scan?

Accepted Answer

It's a photo quality scanner, and when I tried it took upwards of a minute for a single page. I'm sure you adjust the settings if you're scanning text.
