My Pixma Pro9000 (that I refill myself) looks like it might be nearing it's end. It's starting to make a much louder clunking noise in the paper forwarding mechanism. And it refused to print at all for quite a while with 10 flashes of the yellow light.
Some basic questions: I'm considering some newer Canon printers - the 350 wireless and the Pixma Pro9000 Mark 2. I don't really need anything high quality for the printing I do - just basic line on plain paper - no photography or art prints.
I'm mostly wondering if these new models still allow one to refill the carts myself? Or has Canon figured out a way to make it totally impossible?
I'm guessing the loud clunking noise is something mechanical that has given way - but I guess it might take all day to take it apart and find out. I've had bad luck trying to keep old printers going in the past... good money after bad.
Thanks for any input or suggestions. I remember this board from when it was part of nifty-stuff...
