I have just received a query from a friend as below. I will pass on any replies which answer the question. As I shall be away from the weekend until the end of May any responses will need to be in by 11th May. Jim Thyer. Greetings all, My colour printer has expired! Quote to repair it was more than purchase price two years ago. It was a Canon BJC7100 and I never really liked it. It was a special but it has cost my so much more in hassles and inks that I do not regret its passing. My main specs are USB and parallel port separate ink containers that can be refilled (don't tell the manufacturers) borderless A4, A3 will be considered but I may not be able to fit it in room available. Photo quality. Cost of prints is of more concern than purchase price. I have a 12 year old laser printer that is my workhorse - this was, I believe, one of the problems with the departed - it did not get enough use.
