Ever downloaded a manual?

[swee'pea99]

I've been having another go at sorting out my Canon printer, and trying to get hold of a service manual. The only one I've found is on a site called 911 Manuals, which looks a bit on the flakey side. Has anyone ever used this or a similar site? Can I trust it?

Have you tried the manufacturer site? Is it not at e.g. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=DownloadIndexAct

It is probably a silly question but have you tried Canon's website? In particular I often find producers' USA website provides more extensive support than UK/European ones. In this case you might want to try this but sometimes the model number/desination can be different.

What is the model?

Thanks chaps

Unfortunately that site produces 'no hits' for the printer I have. It's a w2200, which is an old (but not *that* old) large format printer, very popular with graphic design studios and the like. But no longer supported by Canon, sadly.

They are at the bottom of the page here I think?

Is this it?

Double Ed: Link doesn't seem to work, go through RecordAceFromNew's link.

Blimey, you're good! Thanks all - unfortunately those are user guides, which I have - I'm after the actual service manual, that tells you which screws to go for and how to reset the brain.

Why not contact Canon and ask? The worst they can do is say no!
