Dear Nicolas,

I am considering obtaining a Canon PIXMA MX-850, which has an engine
identical to the MP610 (and therefore the printer engine is also the
same as that of the iP4500) plus fax capability. I suspect therefore
that support for scanning will be easy to add in the current code
(definitions only). Do you have anybody reporting yet on the MX-850?

Regards, Gernot
PS this will allow me to replace the MP-710 and iP4500.
