Warning: Avoid Canon printers
I have a Canon printer new enough that it has just run out of ink in one colour, blue. I only print in black and white but it uses up colour of its own accord which is quite common so not the issue today. What is at issue is: (1) All the other printer functions stopping (2) Including, but not limited to, black printing which has a larger cartridge (3) The cartridges being unable to be refilled (that is being swapped at Cartridge World) instead being throwaway costing both me and the environment.
At home I have an ancient HP printer which is happy operating with only the black cartridge in it. In my workplace I previously had a full function Brother which printed in black and white so long as the colour cartridges where there – full or empty. Both of those have refillable cartridges.
I now have the Canon with a full set of new cartridges along with a fairly strong feeling of having been burnt. When next the ink runs out I will dump the printer at the recycle (with a note advising this fault) and go back to Brother or HP.
