Back in 2019 I bought a Canon MF247dw which I got at Staples for maybe $117. I got it because their price was something like $125 sold directly from Amazon, but Staples had a 110% price match guarantee and it was about $200 there. It was working great until one day where it just started clicking and clicking and the printer portion stopped working after about 9 months. I called in to Canon, let them hear it, and was told if I could find the receipt showing that it was still within the 1 year warranty they would send a new one. But I had misplaced the receipt so no go on the replacement. But it still works as a wireless scanner with sheet feeder. But with the printer portion malfunctioning I can't use it as a copier or printer.
Since then my parents gave me back the Canon MF4150 that I bought for them over a decade ago since they use a different printer/scanner. It's been slowly dying and I figure it's probably not going to last much longer. The sheet feeder tray is horrible on that - always skewed.
But right now I can't seem to find any of the era of Canon all-in-ones. Something like an MF269dw. A few third party sellers on Amazon might have something like that for maybe $400. Canon is still listing these models but the big retailers don't seem to have them any more. All I can seem to find is the MF236n, which doesn't even have Wi-Fi. I could make do with USB or wired to my router, but obviously that's not as convenient as WiFi. I used to put that wireless Canon machine in another room.
So what happened to these other than maybe there's an issue with manufacturing?
