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."

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
