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.

I spent an awful half day in Buffalo (not Buffalo's fault) a few years ago and
I can testify that I was in the US. The next two days were spent at Niagara
Falls (Canadian side), just fabulous and I can testify that I was in Canada,
confirmed by Canadian immigration. Nice people too I must say.
Tony
I can confirm that. My last two years of college were spent at the
University of Buffalo, and it was definitely in the US, New York State
to be specific. I went through there last December on my way to the
Niagara Falls, Ontario Winter Festival, and it was still part of the US.
Had that status changed, I'm sure it would have been in all the papers.

BTW, the Fallsview Casino has an excellent buffet.

You are twisting the facts. You modified a product produced by Canon.
In the USA Canon does not mfg nor produce nor sell a printer that prints
on CD/DVD. That is what Canon Says. Period. That makes you jerks
claim to know more than the mfg.

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
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. Yes, it's missing parts! The
rest of us have the complete version AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED by Canon.

You really outta contact Canon about those missing parts . . .

Canon designed the US model not to have that capability. Look at their
website and ask their USA tech support.

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.

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.

If you take parts out, it's a modified Canon printer and not as
originally designed by Canon. This inarguable truth cannot be argued.

You really can't be that naive, can you? Measekite, I have some
startling news for you. Sometimes, corporations lie when it suits their
purposes. Even your beloved Canon could be doing this.

Canon disabled 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.
