Hi Everyone.
Thanks for an entertaining (and enlightening) ng.
I'm about to replace a canon S4500 printer. Have gotten the choices
down to Canon's MP600R and HPs C7180. I have a yen to get the printer
networked.
I'm leaning towards the MP600R since it's lower in price where I am
and also will print CD/DVD blanks. I'm not overly concerned about the
HP's fax capability.
If you have used either equipment I'll be grateful for your
experience.
And a question:
The Canon ink cartidges for the MP600R look to be physically similar
to those used in the S4500 (Bce series). Are they backwards
compatible? i.e. Can the MP600R cartidges be used in the S4500?
I believe the pixma cartidges are "chipped" . If so can they be
"reset"?
Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers.

Cartridge World UK shops ARE able to supply refilled cartridges that have
had the chip reset.

Although they are fundamentally identical, I believe they are just
different enough you cannot put a CL/PG cartridge in place if and older BC
cartridge.

Not yet, but you can tell the printer to ignore "empty" chips and ink
monitoring, with all risks of having no ink monitoring.
Hi Gary,
Many thanks for this.
I'm likely to acquire an MP600R in the next couple of days, based on
this feedback, together with the CD printing capability that the
printer has..

Thanks Stick,
But now I'm confused. Gary suggests the cartidges are not chipped, but
you are suggesting they are.
In any event, where I live would make freight cost very high and
purchasing "proper" cartidges would be cheaper, I suspect.
Another contributor will be really pleased about that!
