This is not evidence, it is what I call educated conjecture. A couple of years ago I was looking for a replacement for my printer because I had screwed up the envelope feeder. On the internet, I came across a student at a university here in San Die...
I moved on a few months ago....take a deep breath, buy a different printer from one the many great products out there (other than Canon) and never look back. I would go without a printer before I ever bought a Canon again.
Well if you follow what Canon hopes, buy another Canon Printer, preferably one that can only use expensive Canon Ink. I went to a Brother MFC J-470, so far so good.
