Warning: Avoid Canon printers
I have a Canon printer new enough that it has just run out of ink in one colour, blue. I only print in black and white but it uses up colour of its own accord which is quite common so not the issue today. What is at issue is: (1) All the other printer functions stopping (2) Including, but not limited to, black printing which has a larger cartridge (3) The cartridges being unable to be refilled (that is being swapped at Cartridge World) instead being throwaway costing both me and the environment.
At home I have an ancient HP printer which is happy operating with only the black cartridge in it. In my workplace I previously had a full function Brother which printed in black and white so long as the colour cartridges where there – full or empty. Both of those have refillable cartridges.
I now have the Canon with a full set of new cartridges along with a fairly strong feeling of having been burnt. When next the ink runs out I will dump the printer at the recycle (with a note advising this fault) and go back to Brother or HP.
Beware Canon

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
