Canon Printer Manuals

[Justin]

This morning I had a run in with Canon. I wanted to view/download a
manual for a Pixma ip4200 printer in order to talk my mother through a
procedure over the telephone. The Canon call centre could only offer
to sell me a manual and said that the manual was not available anywhere
from them over the internet.

After a wasted telephone call I checked Canon USA and they have all the
manuals freely available. So if you need a manual, don't call Canon
UK/Europe, go to this address:

http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=DownloadIndexAct

And pick it up for free with the minimum of hassle.

Another example of rip-off Britain. I wonder is USA Canon printers
ship with a USB lead?

Just about all PC printers in N.America are nowadays
supplied with only USB connectors.

I don't know if this is another example of rip-off Britain. A good
rule of thumb is not to bother talking to the humans, unless you can't
find it on the website. For laughs you could try e-mailing support.

Another good rule of thumb, and one I employ on a regular basis, is to
check out support in other english speaking nations.

I wonder is USA Canon printers ship with a USB lead?

My ip3000 did not, and no usa canon ships with a CD tray. I can't say
on the ip4200 or newer, but typicaly speaking most printers do not ship
with a USB lead. There are exceptions, for example HPs sold at costco
at one point did ship with one, where the store next to costco did not.

Seriously, I really do think he was making an attempt at real honest
humour.

First it's a cleaver, then it's shears. I'm tempted to axe what comes next.
