Just (partially) installed a Canon MP530, love how clicking in an ink

Kind of like blue cruising lights on low-riders.


You do realize that these added "Christmas lights" and memory chip add
about $5 to $6 per cartridge to your cost, or about $25-30 more than for a
set of cartridges for the previous model printer without the pretty
lights and chip. These "improvements" were all done for company profit as
they were entirely unnecessary. I have two of these previous printers,
so I would know.

Well, since you claim to be a Witch, getting around Canon's copy protection
system shouldn't present you with any problems.....
