CANON: DESIGNED TO FAIL by a dishonest company

whining snipped

You really need to get a life. Printers are disposable, everyone know that.
Move on.

After 5 years a printer becomes obsolete.

A 550$ printer is disposable? I'm sure some HP Deskjet have printed easily 10
times as many pages without a glitch.

You move on, Canon is crap!

Really? Mine still did the job it had always done just before the last glitch
a few days ago: print!

I could possibly say that about a 17-th century ink pen that I have,
but I can't fault the manufacturer if they won't supply me a new nib
for it.

I think your postings have done the opposite of what your intent
seems to be. You are testifying to how fantastically long your
Canon printer has lasted. A lot longer that one might have imagined.

What I get from your posting is that if one wants long term reliability
from a printer, they should buy Canon!

What people get from your postings is that either you're a dumbbell or you're
a Canon troll. My BJ printer needed service 3 times for printing about one
tenth what some Deskjet 500 printers have printed without any trouble.

Your dammage control is harming Canon.

then why didn't you buy an hp at the time? seems like you are just not
gonna
be happy with anything you buy. how long does something have to last before
you are happy with it? From reading some of you posts, it seems like
they did
what they could for you and you are just not happy with that. so now
its back
to you and i guess your are just sitting at your computer waiting to respond
to people here. I bet for the next few weeks, you are gonna be working on
this problem. I hope you have a lot of free time, otherwise it just seems
like a waste when you got 15 years of service out of it.

I just had this thought that this is gonna set you off to develop the
perfect
printer. At least in Texas, there is this commercial on tv of this
English guy
that wasn't happy with the vacuum cleaner he had, it kept getting clogged.
So he spent 10 years, and 10,000 prototypes later, he had a vacuum cleaner
that " didn't do suction " so wouldn't get clogged.

LOL
I love Canons, they are by far the cheapest to operate. The cost of the
printer is irrelevant, it's the cost per page that makes it a value or not.
My Canon S750 printed 10's of thousands of pages, and ink costs were about
$50 for all of that. (I refill). So when the head finally died, I was not at
all upset, it was an excuse to buy a new PIXMA, which is a way better
printer and uses the same cheap ink!! 15 years ago, $500 was a "cheap"
printer, and given the relatively low quality that such a printer puts out,
seeing it die should be a relief.

Because Canon's prints were slightly better better and I had no idea of the
relative reliability of both prodcts and about Canon's dishonesty .

Where do you get that from dumbbell? What's your source?

I usually take quite a lot of time before buying a product and am usually
satisfied with the products I buy.

I already answered this.

You mean like absolutely refusing to tell me where that little sponge in the
purge unit was, dumbbell?

are just not happy with that. so now

Soon, for the next few /years/, I'll have everything I need to cut and paste.
References at Google's, etc.

****, I can't believe this. Canon would have no interest in me repeating the
story on how full of **** they are, refusing to give the plainest explanations
to grab their customer's money.

HP troll maybe...
