Hi

Just ordering one of these printers and it asking for a claim code, does anyone know one of these?

Someone also mentioned going through cashback?
Sorry I have never shopped on Amazon before or used quidco?

Many thanks:beer:

Print off the pdf doc and send freepost to Canon, with proof of purchase.

Thanks again Fortfooty

I ordered mine yesterday and it arrived this morning - standard post - free.

Isn't it quite expensive for the carts really?
I mean the printers i have had i've ordered the carts which are usually 3 colour and a black for less than a tenner the lot and that i consider to be cheap for carts:)

MSE member "fwor" has put a post on the Tech forum indicating that high street shops do refill these and reset the chip -

"However, I asked my local refilling shop before buying the printer if they reset the print level after refilling and they gave an unequivocal "yes"."

More information from fwor in post #10 HERE

Ask them before you buy.

I bought one of these from http://www.ebuyer.com:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132443

£31.99 inc vat so if you buy something else to make it over £50 then you get free delivery. So if you deduct the £15 cash back then it will cost only £16.99 for the printer. Ebuyer even have a link to the application form which you can print out using your new printer.

I would suggest you also get a suitable USB cable as it doesn't have one in the box:

• http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130579 (at £1.00 inc VAT)

They sell the cartridges too but you might be able to get these cheaper elsewhere:

• http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127743 (CL38 Colour cartridge for £13.14)

Hey?
You're spending £50 to get free postage how does that make sense?

I bought a Canon Pixma Mp460 at Xmas (bargain(!)£25 at Argos.

By the time I needed to replace cartridges there had apparently been a software update arranged between Canon and Windows which prevents any cartridges (chipped/unchipped/refilled) being recognised.

I was told by Cartridge World they no longer refill the PG 40/41 (compatibles still widely on sale on the internet) since they are more often than not unusable. (I tried them anyway - its true)

My only option is to buy a Canon product

A replacement set of genuine b/w and colour Canon cartridges in a store is £34.99. I can buy - at at least 2 stores this week (Rayman/Staples) a NEW equivalent printer complete with cartridges for £39.99.

To me this is almost immoral - the throwaway printer?? Companies who promote this with overinflated cartridge prices should be charged massive landfill tax!

Anyway - my recommendation - dont buy!

Just a word of warning - read some of the customer reviews of this printer on the Amazon website itself. Several people are not pleased with the printer's performance, and the problems seem to extend further than to it just being slow.

Although it is cheap, if you need to replace it in 12 months it'd be false economy to buy it. It's a case of getting what you pay for.

Make sure you do decent research, both on the Amazon website and computer-specialist websites, before purchasing.

The Canon Pixma IP4500 is a much better rated printer and has higher consumer ratings for overall usage.

Also, if you don't have to have a scanner/copier, try the highly rated HP Laserjet P1005 at Amazon.
