http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/32640#69A forum for people that have had problems with their canon. The printhead does seem to give up after a few months on some people, they are hard to get hold of and expensive, mine lasted 3 months problem free, after washing it out it lasted another 3 months but now needs replacing, for about the same cost as a new printer (not the same one of course). Apart from that the scanner and fax are great and when the printer was working it was fast and worked great.
