Took me a year to print something for my mom the last time she needed it because I simply KNEW that inkjet was going to be impossible when I needed it. And, lo and behold it was.. It was a Canon Pixma G3200, one of the ones with the built-in inkwells. When I finally decided to face the frustration I knew the thing would present me with, it threw an error.

It took a fair amount of time to track down the error (a particular pattern of blinking lights) that meant "the ink cartridge is inserted incorrectly." Ok.... I thought to myself, this thing doesn't even have cartridges.

At which point I bought the Brother laser printer I currently have that has not failed me even once.
