Question
Hi
I have a Canon Pixma printer,its about 4 years old.
What is the life span on a printer that gets normal household use?
The picture quality is not good,even after changing ink cartridges and running the maintenance program.
Should I just get a new one or am I not doing something on this one right?
Hi Bud,
If you have a 4 year old printer, I would say you are WAY behind the power curve. Not only are the new ones faster and better, but they are also CHEAPER. You can buy a photo-quality Epson 7400 scanner/printer combo for $60 and order ink cartridges for it for $5 ea. Need I say more?
