The Canon PIXMA iX6850 is the direct replacement for the Canon PIXMA iX6550, and features very similar specifications. The iX6850 is more updated, featuring network, wireless and Apple AirPrint connectivity as well as USB connectivity as standard. It also features slightly faster print speeds, but other specifications such as media handling and print resolution remain the same as your existing printer.
