CANON - Rip-off company

[Crysty]

Ok, I bought yesterday a printer, Canon BJC 2100

Did you know Canon BJC entire series 1000,2000,3000 can't print in DOS ???
I didnt , maybe I'm stupid but I didnt knew this.
So I bought an useless printer http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif
It's working only in Windows, and only starting from W95 !

I tried from DOS prompt something like
type xxx.txt>lpt1
type xxx.txt>prn

Nothing...I went back to the shop and I found indeed those printers are not working in DOS

Who in right mind would ask if this fucking printer can print from an ancient operating system ???

They explained me why:
Those printers doesnt have an EEPROM where usually are stored ASCII table & some standard fonts, they are short with this chip, this is making their price lower - I paid only 100$ - therefore they sell better.

So, watch out when you're buying your new printer, from the shop I found a lot other printers are having the same problem.
HP laserjet 1100, 2100 series..same shit http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

Lol it's impressive how fast a company is called a rip off company.

They are the only one with seperate ink tanks for each color....

Why dont you just print from WIN??

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA You are calling a company for rip-off because you did not READ about what kind of OS's was supported? http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Normally stated on the very first page in all manuals or blastered all over the box it is in with little stickers http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well, Due, not entirely true
During this day I saw dozens of boxes and on one of them , for HP1100A, it was written it's working on MSDOS 5.0 or later...
Guess what . I opened the box, pick up the manual and surprise ! On it msdos wasnt printed anymore among supported operating systems

Would this thing passed your mind ever ?
Not a second I thought this is possible.
