The content looks good, and the page should certainly be useful. I think
it would be helpful to structure the page in a more direct way, so the
reader can instantly identify where the information that they are
looking for is. There are some tips on this in the wiki guide [1]. I
made a start by changing some of the headings, shuffling the references
to the end and adding numbered lists. Please let me know what you think.

I don't have any experience with Canon printers unfortunately. The only
thing that I didn't understand was note 2; can you clarify this please?

Yes, this would be ideal.

Great work, thanks for contributing!
