Title: Canon Pixma MP800 - Unsatisfactory
Product review: I purchased my Pixma MP800 in June 2006. After a few uses, the printer malfunctioned with a 6800 error and Japanese characters. Canon service offered no suggestions to correct the error. Instead, they shipped me a REFURBISHED, dirty printer, not a new one (totally unacceptable). Since they also sent a new printer head and ink cartridges, I installed them in my original printer. That worked, so I returned the refurbished printer to Canon.I print/scan infrequently (fewer than 5 pages/week). With almost every use, however, the printer had a low ink cartridge, so I continued to use my very old HP Deskjet 730C for most printing jobs and the MP800 for scanning/copying only. All to no avail: the MP800 has again returned to the blinking Error 6800. Nothing works (print, copy or scan), the printing head is locked to one side, etc. Needless to say, I must now purchase another printer and scanner, but it will not be a Canon.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
