A class action was brought against Canon in the USA because printers died for no reason.


Mine and my son in law's included.


I posted on another thread a link to a forum full of disgruntled people whose Canon printers no longer printed.


I no longer look at the forum but when I left it was zillions of pages long.


Don't have time to look for it now but will do later if I have time.


Meanwhile, suggest you don't get another Canon.

Indeed.


I've always had Canon cameras, but never again after this.


I'm amazed it hasn't been more widely publicised. I only found out about it after googling the error message.


My printer was quite an expensive one and I could ill afford to replace it so soon.


I've got an Epson now.


I will never buy a Canon product again. Whatever the underlying cause of the issue, the way the company has dealt with it is disgraceful.

I have had my Canon Pixma ip6600 for nearly ten years and it still works a treat, never had any problems with it! The ink tanks are the biggest rip-off! Luckily mine are used in many different models so I can source replacement copies on eBay for ?1.00!

I guess I must be lucky?

I doubt this is the case. Printers are sold as a loss-leader - companies make their money selling ink. A broken printer gives people to opportunity to change brands, which would be counter-productive.


I think Hanlon's razor is applicable here: ?Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

    • Found Chilli & Garlic to be pretty tasty and very good value, a really welcome addition amongst the sourdough, bakeries and pub fare. Personally, I prefer smaller sized Falafel, for more crunch and lightness. And I found overall, everything lacking a bit of punch. More Chilli and Garlic, and pickles please! Maybe that’s just what I’m accustomed to.  Highly recommend the falafel on Northcross Road market - amazing value, really excellent falafel, and you can really taste the care that goes into the homemade fresh pickles, sauces & salads.  Having travelled extensively in the middle east & I find it a close match to the many falafel stands I have tried.       
    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon.
