It is infuriating that both Apple and Canon screw over their customers like this when we've now proven there's no technical reason for the printer not to work with El Capitan. I'm not about to replace my MX850 which is in perfect condition and is a better made product than anything Canon currently has on the market. Printer manufacturers are the scum of the earth. They've basically reached a point where their product is no longer in high demand, so they make junk hardware designed primarily to sell overpriced ink cartridges.
