They do NOT want us to fix our machines, they want us to dump them and dish out more money for another one, buy their over priced ink and run out of warranty and buy another...that's how they keep themselves in business.
I suspect Canon builds in a killer code in their driver to kill the machine after it prints so many pages! Mine died while in mid stream printing 4 photos on 8 1/2" x 11" photo paper...suspect this built in obsolescence is geared to make us buy anoth...
