Non-US store that will ship a Canon printer to US?

Have checked with Claudia at Canon Tech support today. A UK iP4000 will work
in the USA if you purchase the correct plug adapter. The printer is
multi-voltage.

In other words, it's not going to happen. Not that you couldn't
"trim out" the clearance for the tray. But it sure sounds like it's
not worth the effort. As the OP, I officially throw up my hands and
give up.


That doesn't sound like the Iron Lady :-)

Well, didn't't the Iron Lady leave office after some period of time?
And did she win every single vote in Parliament?

I sure wish I had found that thread before starting this one.

Sorry - to be honest I remember reading this some time ago - just couldn't
remember the details or where!

She confirmed that a UK iP4000 will work in the USA with a plug adapter. The
printer is Multi-Voltage format.

Having spoken to Canon UK they told me that they will work in Europe with
an a plug adapter. I will check today with canon regarding working in the
USA.

Well that's no great surprise - all of Europe is 240v. It's no reason to
think it will work in the US on the 110v system. In fact I'll be very
surprised if the IP printers have multi voltage as an unspecified feature!

As the OP on this topic, I've pretty much resigned myself to not
buying a printer from a non-US source. The issue of 240 vs. 110 volt
mains is a serious one. Also, there is the issue of "localization,"
since standard paper sizes are different between the US and much of
the rest of the world.

Have a look at an electrical store. Here (in Hong Kong) voltage
adapters are a cheap generic item. And I'm told that many US houses
actually have 220V circuits (as well as 110V) available, for
heavy-duty items like air conditioners, heaters, etc.

As for paper size, lasers may have different A4 and Letter trays, but
inkjets mostly have a "universal" one with an adjustable paperguide.
But even so, is A4 paper not on sale in the US?
