after trying to fix my canon pixma4700...

...which was not working, working, not working... always with a lot of nerves & time wasted thrown in...
I agree with this video and with this one .
After googling "canon b200" I can at least rest assured that I´m definitely not alone with my problem.
There´s loads of destruction videos of canon printers online...

As I cannot use my canon scanner lite 30 anymore just because the company doesn´t offer a driver for windows 8 I guess I´m not going to be a customer much longer.
Which is a shame becaue I loved all my "old" canons , a slr, a printer, a scanner...and all the new ones just keep making problems- from a backfocus to the b200 error.

Now I´m going to waste money on a new printer (the "old" one being 2 yrs old)  instead.
