    Ugh dead Canon S450 any hope? If not what should I replace it with?

    Dear all, Thank you once again to everyone who replied to my plea and for the very useful information you gave. In the end I decided to take a bit of a gamble and contacted Canon to see how much my S450 would cost to get fixed. They sent me the details of a company in Luton, England. When I...

    Ugh dead Canon S450 any hope? If not what should I replace it with?

    Hmm, this seems a bit excessive and I don't have a lot of storage space. Though of course as you said you get the spare stuff for nothing.

    Color lasers are coming, inkjet users noticed?

    Hi! In the UK the 1600 is around 120 pounds (I guess about double that in dollars). It's a cut down version of the 2600n here which comes with an eithernet card. You'll apparently get 1000 pages using the trial cartridges and 3000 using the standard. I say apparently as this is what I was told...
