I bought this printer several months ago, and was really happy with it. Of course, during the honeymoon, you're still in love. One weekend I decided to do my taxes, and anticipating a lot of printing/copying to be done, I bought an extra cartridge of black ink. When i started to print (black & white, not color), the magenta ink ran out, and the printer stopped printing B&W.; In case you missed it - IT WONT PRINT B&W; IF EVEN ONE OF THE COLOR INKs RUNS OUT !This strikes me as being incredibly un-consumer friendly, and plain dishonest on Canon's part. I will not buy another Canon product. Also needless to say, any inks I buy for this printer will not be from Canon either. Meanwhile, its 7:00 pm on Sunday, the stores are closed, and I can't print. Thank you Canon.
