any thoughts on paying $115 for 8 year old printer technology ?

[jimbo123]

just thankful for finding this forum many years ago and try to help/show others that refilling still has some life.

that is until canon figures out how to shut down refilling completely.

again much thanks for all the help from the forum members.

my "new" MP830 arrived yesterday, shipping was $45, printer was $70.

good news, all items were accounted for and were truly new. sometimes "new" can be mis-represented by a seller, but not this time.

so 5 new ink carts, new print head and best of all new "old school technology/built" MP830. canon states print cycle useful life of 19,000 pages, my current MP830 is at 55,000 pages.

been a while since i moved my existing MP830, had forgotten how heavy they are, 11 lbs heavier than its current replacement model. also nice large ink carts that are transparent on both sides, so easy to refill.

Ahhhh - the proof that, at least with these printers, the good old days WERE the good old days!
