Canon IP4200 Printer - Compatibles

Hey guys,

I've got a trusty Canon IP4200 printer and its run out of ink.
Does anyone know if compatible cartridges are available that work 100% yet? (Don't want to have to swap cartridge chips, don't want to lose ink status reporting etc.)

I would normally go ahead and buy some genuine Canon inks, but for a full complement of 5 ink tanks you're looking at around £50, when for a couple of extra quid you can get a whole new Canon printer! But i don't want to jump the gun just yet, so I thought I'd check with you guys.

Kind Regards

Actually seems there an even newer printer, the Canon IP4300, so it makes it even more tempting to just splash out the extra quid!

So before I do guys.. has anyone seen any working Canon compatibles?

Thanks

But mate that's what i'm saying, for the price of a full set of genuine Canon ink for my Canon IP4200 printer, i can just buy another Canon IP4200 printer (or its updated equivalent, the IP4300) which come with a full complement of ink tanks!

Ludicrous but true! :cool:
