I have an old Pixma MP560 - which worked very well when I last used it several years ago. I would like to know what I need to do in order to reactivate it without problems: I realiuze I need fresh ink; is there any kind of technical clean-up work needed? What about compatibility with Windows 10, and does it need new software, (firm software, drivers, etc)?

Greetings,
The MP-560 is supported under W10.
What you might have problems with:
Print head and ink delivery system.
If left to sit without use or maintenance, the system can clog.

If it were me, I'd remove the print head and soak / clean it out. This has to be done with some care.
aftermarket inks are $15
canon inks about $50
Might want to test it with aftermarket ink to start since cleaning it doesn't guarantee it will work.
