Hello threshed. My Canon Pixma (MG7700) has just clapped out, and it was, as you say, perfect. Trouble is they don't make them any more, and their updated version has all sorts wrong with it - paper trays at the rear, which makes it a no-go for my tiny flat!
Ideally, I'd like another Canon MG7750, but they've stopped making them. Are there any stockists of out-of-date Canon machines? I'd buy another today if I could find one...
Sorry didn't know they stopped making them. As you say my Pixma is a great little machine, had it a few years and so far so good. Hope it keeps going for a few more years as it is a lot cheaper to run then others I have had. Good luck in your search.
They still make Pixma machines, shedman, but they are mucking about with the specs - don't they always - and I think I've found an demo-model on ebay, which will do me for another couple of years!
