It is obvious this person does not know what they are talking about even though I like Canon better. In the US Canon cannot print directly on CD/DVD. I know exactly what I am talking about... What the hell are you talking about measkite? ... of course a Canon can print directly on CD/DVD ... where do you get your dumbass info from? Stryker Yes, of course it can. I bought my adapter kit for my Canon iP5000 and iP4000 to print on CD/DVDs on eBay from a seller in Buffalo, NY. Last I checked that was in the US. Anyone with a Canon "can" print on CD/DVDs if they want it to. -Taliesyn You are twisting the facts. You modified a product produced by Canon. NO, I did not modify it, Canon MODIFIED IT! I bought an adapter kit (actually OEM missing parts) and put it back THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED BY CANON TO OPERATE - AS A CD/DVD CAPABLE PRINTER! Just because Canon removes a bunch of parts from US models does not mean we must leave it Canon designed the US model not to have that capability. There is no such thing as "Canon designed the US model". It's merely a stripped down world model. The missing parts can be bought on the open market, in the US, in order to bring them back the way the printers were originally designed to be sold. Look at their website and ask their USA tech support. that way. Not all of us are mindless jerks kissing corporate bums. Those of us fortunate to have a brain can put the printer back the way CANON DESIGNED IT. Stop jerking the truth!!!! YOU yourself have a MODIFIED printer that's MISSING PARTS. Said like a stupid kid which is what you are on both counts. Jealousy will get you nowhere. This "stupid kid" has the complete Canon iP4000, iP5000, and the iP4500 CD/DVD enabled printers - the way Canon designed them. You, on the other hand (I don't name call, I'm not a troll) have a MODIFIED - yes, modified Canon iP4000 printer, one with with parts missing. Anyone who buys the missing parts then has the complete Canon printer. That is not what Canon Tech Support or their website says. If you take parts out, it's a modified Canon printer and not as originally designed by Canon. This inarguable truth cannot be argued. -Taliesyn I think that you have had parts taken out |

You really can't be that naive, can you? Measekite, I have some startling news for you. Sometimes, corporations lie When they say in writing that the printer does not support cd printing they are lying. Well they can get sued for that. Maybe that is what you should do. when it suits their purposes. Even your beloved Canon could be doing this. Canon disabled meaning devoid of the capability the CD/DVD printing capability on US printers to avoid US lawsuits over them enabling piracy. They didn't go to all the trouble of designing a separate printer for the US, they just left off some parts. If you buy these parts from a third party, Canon can't be held liable for what you do with them. They're just saving their own butts. Everybody but you seems to realize this. TJ |

I think that you have had parts taken out No, our Canadian Canon iP4500 is not modified, it comes complete - all parts included for CD/DVD printing! ;-) Same list price as in the US too! Last I read this had nothing to do with piracy but more to do with Canon not wishing to pay royalties for the CD/DVD printing rights or patent. I'm not sure who owns the rights, but I have heard it's either Epson or Philips, the inventor of the CD/DVD. Frankly, I don't care, it's now strictly an American issue. Take it up with Canon Tech Support. Ask them why you're denied your right to own a complete Canon printer like everyone else in the world. -Taliesyn |
