The ip4300 seems to have replaced the ip5300, and is cheaper. As there are
still ip5300s for sale, I was wondering how they differ?
The specs look pretty similar on the Canon site, and they look pretty
similar too, from the pictures I have seen on the web. Are they basically
the same? Do they take the same cartridges?
I heard that the ip5300 has an IR interface. What is that for, and does the
ip4500 have this too?

All the features are readily available at the Canon site. The main
difference in the IP4500 and related newer MF models is in the print head.
It has more nozzles for slightly finer resolutions and slightly faster
speeds.

Thanks for your answer, but I did look at the Canon site, and the specs
appear to be the same in that regard, hence my question.

Thanks for your answer, but I did look at the Canon site, and the specs
appear to be very similar in that regard, hence my question.

I have never seen an IP5300. In the US I have just seen the IP4500. Maybe the IP5300 is not an American Model.

Interesting! I ran into the same thing with the HP C4180 and HP C4150
printers. I have one of each and they are identical, specs are the same
etc. as far as I can tell, except that I paid about $10 more for the
HP4180. Bought them about a year apart.
I posted a note similar to yours in a couple of places and got several
answers (even one from an HP employee) indicating that there were no
differences - just a manufacturers whim!! Both are great printers!!

One of the things I've been told is that HP < and other manufacturers

hardware, and/or the particular model is sold only through a
particular retailer. Say < example only > a HP 930 could only be had

Otherwise the HP 930 and the HP 932 are exactly the same.

Could very well be the case with mine - since I bought one from Office
Depot and the other from Sam's.

But still spec wise/physically the same? I can believe that.

It was my understanding that the xx0/xx2 difference related solely to the length
of warranty.
Difference between Canon ip5300 and ip4500 ??
