I have had the predecessor of this printer. What bingt a printer of exactly 2 years and 4 months breaks down? And with an error (B200 => printer head defective) of cuts across the Canon products, you just need time googling on the internet. I've always used original cartridges and they changed early if they were empty. Nevertheless defective. My printer has previously held 9 years. Furthermore, I have a 5 year old Canon scanner, which does not work on Windows 7 64-bit (there are, according to Canon no driver support => ... you buy a new Prdokt of us ...). I'm really sick of Canon! The products can have your stick it anywhere else! I now have a Brother printer, with 3 years warranty and no chips on the cartridges! Canon => Power so on => then soon no longer buys your printer, because the Internet is rapidly spreading of information!
