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."

    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
    • I thought of going to the States for the World Cup.  But I just can't - Trump, the nonsense of entering the States and what UEFA has done to the sport including enlarging the competition and selling out to Gulf/Middle East States has put me off. I found an article on the likely move of some European football overseas which prompted me to start the thread https://thefsa.org.uk/news/uefa-gives-go-ahead-for-overseas-competitive-fixtures/
