Canon slapped with lawsuit for disabling scans when printers are out of ink - NewsBreak

Lawsuits for seemingly misleading marketing and product claims are pretty common. In the latest such development, it seems Canon is under fire. The company sells several All-in-one printer models that can also function as scanners or even do more like faxing. Apparently, however, there are many such models that have the scan and other additional functions disabled when the ink cartridges for the printer are low on or out of ink. This issue is not new as there are old threads dating back to 2016 with people complaining about it. (Thread 1, 2)
