Hoping Canon make a driver update, any chance of it happening?

I did not miss you issue; I fully understood what you wrote.

The idea is that the print engine isn't designed for long runs or high volumes, as you are asking it to do.

Things can happen during a long that is too long that will compromise print quality, longevity, etc...so the machine needs to "reset" and make some adjustments between runs.

If HP has decided to ignore these "facts of life", that's their decision.

The smaller machines simply aren't designed to be marathon machines. No offense, but if you had a more thorough understanding and appreciation for how the print process works, as the techs on this site do, along with the issues we see every day of the week, perhaps you wouldn't be complaining so bitterly.

If you didn't check the specs before buying this machine, well then maybe next time you will. Specs like these are published for virtually any machine out there.

Now, as Screwtape just said, go out and buy a real copier, and post your rant in a review column, where it belongs.

Heres a question. If your inkjet is so mighty and inexpensive to operate, why did you stop using it? And why don't you go back to using it? You seem to think very highly of it.

I fully read the specs before buying it as well as many reviews, NOWHERE does it mention a 99 page limit when printing from a computer (it does mention the 99 page limit when PHOTOCOPYING). Also, if it's because it's bad to print long runs, then why does it let me print a 1000 page document in one shot, but not 100 times the same page?

Brian: I absolutely did not stop using my inkjet, the laser is an addition to it, certainly not a replacement at the cost per page of the laser. I got the laser one as it does have a few advantages over my inkjet (water resistant prints and glossy images even on plain paper, other than that the inkjet beats it on every point).
