TrooperZ writes:: Okay, this is not really an egg. Many printers and fax machines will do this. It is a test, which will allow you to check out the ink tanks and for some clean the heads, show you an print sample of what the machine can do, etc.; 8 of 14 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Nicolas.NET International. writes:: No, it does not work on any of the 200 series BJC's, or rather, it just sounds like a regular modem handshake.; 4 of 7 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

turdman writes:: First of all LOL SNOOPY. Second I just wanted to tell people that my canon printer doesn't do some stupid music thing when i press the paper feed button. Maybe its broke. Maybe I should sue canon, or get it replaced with with my waranty. Or maybe, I should just try to print stuff with it, cuz thats what MOST (not all) printers are supposed to do. P.S. if there is someone out there who is actually pathetic enough to try to make a printer sing, I would like their autograph, cuz i might be able to sell it to NERDS WEEKLY MAGAZINE.; 6 of 17 people found this comment helpful.
