Good news:

Exactly! However, I have to blame Cannon for forcing me to move to a monotone laser printer with duplex printing. The HP LaserJet p1606dn. For the last ten years it has been an awesome printer, and has never jammed once.
There is even MORE good news! Cannon has been sued in a class action lawsuit for disabling its scan feature if a cartridge runs out of ink. Cannon never stated that a functional ink cartridge was necessary to do a scan. And why would such a requirement be necessary? Not every scanned document will be printed.

It's not the fault of the manufacturers that they sell printers for a fraction of the cost (cost to market, that is) and then make up for that by charging punitively for ink cartridges. Buyers choose using the big ticket price, and if a manufacturer prices the printer and ink reasonably neither sells.
The whole business is horribly wasteful, and could be much less so with some standardization.Regards, John LittleComment

I used to have a Canon (one N) inkjet printer/scanner until it died and replaced it with a Brother wireless unit. What I hate about inkjets is they refuse to print a black document if you're out of yellow ink!
Constant change is here to stay!Comment
