canonprinters

A long-running scam targets frustrated Canon printer owners who are looking for the right drivers. They find themselves on fake customer service websites that lure them into handing over cash or even control of their computers.

Due to the ongoing global chip shortage, Canon is finding it difficult to obtain the chips that are attached to ink cartridges that confirm their legitimacy to its printers. As a result, it has to explain to customers how to bypass its own DRM.
