Stay Away from Canon Printers

Just two months out of warranty and our Consumer Reports-recommended Canon Pixma MX700 printer has gone shithouse with a terminal error code no one at tech support understands because I (gasp) replaced the ink cartridges.

So now I have a year-old dead printer and a bunch of overpriced, brand new ink I can't use. I don't know how much it would cost to have it repaired, but if it's any more than a quarter of what it would cost me to buy a new printer, I'll be getting out the ax and giving this defective piece of crap the Office Space treatment.

If you or your friends are in the market for a new printer, stay the hell away from these!
