Pretty sure I have that exact same Cannon printer.

It's garbage and really needs replacing, but I print like 2 pages a year.

I have a Canon PIXMA (got it for free) and it's fucking garbage, but if you only need to print like 5 things a year it's hard to justify getting a new one. Despite all that we probably already spent $100s in ink.

The most frustrating thing is, every year when you go to print those 5 pages, it's out of ink

I know, it's such a scam. I think those ink cartridges have a timer in addition to just checking the ink level.

I think one of these days the thing will enrage me so much I'll just instant buy a Brother.
