Only a small rant, but...
Well I've been an HP guy as far as printers are concerned for a long
time. It used to be that HP's customer service was exemplary, and their
products were very good. In fact in spite of it's dying faster than any
other HP printer I've ever owned the output from the HP8550 was usually
better than I could reasonably expect from a custom lab at least 80% of
the time. True you had to take extra care because it was easy to get
muddy results in shadows but with the right files and treatment it was
able to produce great looking images, (unless you wanted B&W which it
kind of sucked at). However if your wanted information on what your
printer did you could figure out what family it was in and HP even
acknowledged that a Printers with different model numbers were
essentially the same printer. So a solution for one printer in that
family will work with the rest.
Try to get that information out of Cannon! I've got a pixma iX6520,
there's also an ix6530, 40, 50, 60, 70... They all look the same they
all have the same specifications and seem to use the same drivers, but
there is nothing to indicate that a solution that will work with one
will work with any of the others. AAARRRRGGGG!
