Ah, that is sad news.
Well, I would look around for cheap used MP800Rs on auction sites
then. If none can be found, presumably a different model could be
obtained second-hand from.
On an unrelated note, I do not advocate buying printers/scanners new for
personal use. Mostly, the devices are not better because they are a
later model, and once one understands how to clean nozzles, and refill
inks, once gains confidence in judging if a second-hand printer is worth
a given amount of money or not. I have been testing and helping develope
linux drivers for Canon printer/scanner devices for a few years now, and
generally am happy to buy any device which does not show particularly
critical errors on the display.
