Not alone. Always been fond of Canon for printers, SLR, dSLR, compact cameras, and lenses. I guess you could say I've been a loyalist since 35mm days when you were either a Nikon or Canon person and I picked a side.
Just heard the sanitation truck taking away my trash bin with the much loved and maintained pre-PIXMA S900. The dead printhead 7 flashes with printhead installed, so won't even attempt to print a test page. Bye old friend. Purchased as refurb thru canon direct sometime between 2002 release and 2010.
My circa 2010 MX860 and I will miss you! The MX860 recently won't print yellow even after I gave the printhead a bath. Unlike the S900, not stuck giving an error so the feeder/scanner is fine as well as razor sharp B&W printing.
Torn between finding a working rebuilt qy-0073 printhead or the new Canon stuff. Maxify. Megatank. Maintenance cartridges vs the old way of using the bottom of printer to store waste ink in huge absorbant pads. Hmmm.

Ink tanks intrigue me ... but I don't think Canon offers one with that Grey ink - that makes shadow detail so wonderful.
Sorry to hear of your printer funeral.
