Requiem for a printer

Gaah my printer just died. Ok not really, it just prints funny. Like even when the black ink is full, it prints as though there's no ink. And without black, printing anything is futile!!! Only managed to print about four photos the other day. Guess I'll have to buy a new printer. But dammit I just bought 18 ink catridges! Go Parkway sell lah. And I need the printer right now to print something important! Bah I guess four years of faithful service is all you can expect of a canon printer.
