Review:
Canon pixma iP1980 is successor of pixma iP1880. The print result is completely the same since it use the same cartridge;PG830 & CL831. It has similar parts inside,so no service manual release for this printer.
Improvements: Faster speed than Canon pixma iP1880, more reliable paper feed roller.
