I still have the previous IP 4850, but the reviews after, nothing has changed at the IP 4950. On request told me Canon with that setting to print documents (black only) is not possible, when setting 'grayscale' also color ink would be used. I got to feel now, as a letter (black) did not print because the red ink is all. This fits on ink destruction and towards the customer outrageous. It should keep us from buyers from buying printer this company. Only then something will change. To be fair, I will add that the print quality is good and the low noise level compared to other printers is pleasantly low.
