From: AES on 14 Jan 2010 13:14 I purchased a Canon Pixma MX860 Multifunction Printer (big mistake!); installed it and its software on my MacBook running 10.4.11; and set it up to be connected wirelessly to our household LAN. It now works, prints OK, and other OS 10.4 and 10.5 laptops in the house all seem to see it with no further installs of software on them (I assume this mysterious Bonjour entity plays some role here?). But, there is now an icon in my menu bar with menu selections which turn on and off something called "Canon IJ Network Scan Utility". Anyone really know how to get rid of this damn icon? [Preliminary searches in my libraries and the Canon manual have been unavailing thus far. I'm not even really sure whether the function of this "Canon IJ Network Scan Utility" is to scan the _network_ looking for ??? or is to enable the _scanner_ features of the MX860 over the network.]

The tradeoffs also include less countertop real-estate and fewer electrical outlets required for the MFP. This is from someone with two standalone flatbed scanners, a networked laser printer, and an Epson inkjet in addition to my Canon MFP. The flatbeds are rarely used and spend most of their time on a closet shelf. Similarly, the laser printer has been placed in a different room -- actually, on a roll-around table in the family room closet with an Ethernet drop, just to keep it out of the way (and it is turned off most of the time due to the power it draws, even while sitting idle). -- Spenser
