Don’t buy headaches!!
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought this printer because it is light and small. I am still in college, it would be perfect to put in a small space like my dorm and be packed and moved around since we do change room on yearly basis.
Then the problem comes: as a college student, there’s absolutely no need for me to print colored stuff. So I just bought a black cartridge and hope it will work, and it doesn’t.
Without all cartridges properly installed, Canon wouldn’t allow you to continue the next step for step up. So I searched online for hours to find out that blinding light’s meaning because it doesn’t come with a manual booklet.
As I looked online, people on the forums said that the printer is so “clever” that it will recognize if you are trying to fool it with an empty cartridge.
As the result, if the cartridge is empty or dry-out, or completely not installed, you won’t be able to use all functions (printing, coping, even scanning).
I used to have an HP printer and it works as I expected. It prints even with only one cartridge is installed, either colored or black.
This clearly is the strategy that Canon wants you to keep buying its cartridge. Don’t buy this printer, because two normal size cartridges (one black and one color) costs more than this printer. Again, don’t buy this printer.
As a result of understanding how all these work, I swear I won’t buy ANY Canon products ever in the future. Because according to Canon’s logic, their printer pissed me off, so I should hate all of their products!!
