Was it a Canon Pixma ink tank, or just normal inkjet cartridges?

Old one with cartidges

Recycle it.

Buy one with a tank like the Epson.

Will be cheaper

To elaborate

I had a Canon Pixma - the original refills were horrendously expensive given how quickly you run out of ink
Tried the refill/refurb cartridges - wasn't a great experience and ended up being waste of money 'cos the prints looked horrid, it was messy and fiddly, etc

Bit the bullet and got one of the Epson Ecotanks (L365) - didn't have to buy ink for more than two years (with 4 school going kids) - just bought more ink as backup during lockdown - cost me about R300 for 3 colour bottles.

I was being a silly: read posts 18, 22 and 24

The scanner on my old canon is better than my epson, so we keep it around for that
