I got a printer from a flea market here, a guy brought it from Russia. He was about to throw it away, saying there’s no ink for it in local shops. I took the printer from him, and indeed, there’s no ink available in local stores. The first thing that crossed my mind was that capitalist marketers found a way to make money, otherwise it would be possible to transport cartridges inexpensively between countries. The original ink number is 445, but everywhere in Europe, they sell 545. I researched products in the markets of Russia and Europe and concluded that the only difference is in the model numbers, and the actual product is identical. In the end, I bought a cartridge for 545, and everything works fine.
Conclusion: Knowing how capitalism works, you can fix a printer.
Second conclusion: Canon is a company of motherfuckers, but I’ll keep the printer for myself.

Another capitalist story. The company that sent me the cartridge asked me to dispose of it properly and send it back to them. What a concern for the environment! But, of course, they will just refill it with new ink and send it back to someone again.
