When I worked for a Canon dealer, it was nice that we could get a list of machines scheduled for parts discontinuation. Once we hit that date, we knew we were limited to what was on the shelves. iR C3200/3220 immediately comes to mind. Some parts carried over into the next generation....Fuser pressure roller bearings did not! We STILL had a bunch in the field when we got the NLA email, and the boss had to do a mad scramble to upgrade those customers, because the GM had renewed their service agreements without checking with the service manager (me).
