this is my 2nd canon printer, the PIXMA MP500 is a first bought several years ago my wife always uses so I ordered a cannon, being satisfied with my first printer: what evil has taken me !! I am appalled at start time of this printer compared to the old In fact, I made a simple little experiment, I timed the ignition 2 printers to printing a sheet old printer: 20 seconds before the printing of the sheet new printer: 2 minutes and 46 seconds !!!!!! that is, every time time you turn on your printer, you have to wait nearly 3 minutes before you can use The explanation comes from the fact that an automatic nozzle cleaning is done with the ignition, without being able to oppose that If this cleaning uses ink, I would suspect strongly that Canon have created for us to buy cartridges more often, in which case would simply legalized scam. Always it is that in 2012 a CANON printer takes about 3 minutes to be functional, whereas this was not the case several years ago, for a same print quality, at least visually: long live the progress and Congratulations mrs engineers at Canon, I guess in qq years you we create printers that light up in 20 minutes and we boufferont half of our cartridges printed without having anything at all, really well done , you are very strong
