FAULTY CANON PRINTER

I bought a Canon Pixma G3411 Printer online in August at Makro in Port Elizabeth. On the 2nd December the printer started to print like 3D, I cannot even see what I printed and the papers kept jamming.. I called Makro and they said that it is my responsibility to get the printer to PE.. I live 350km from PE. As of today I called again because the printer printed red and blue stripes over all my pages and keep on saying error when I try to make a copy.. The papers also keep jamming and the printer doea not want to print in color. I bought color ink last week.. I talked to someone and she handed the phone to her manager. The manager said that she would call me back in half an hour.. I still have not received a call from her.. I paid R2499 for the printer and the printer can basically do nothing. I'm very disappointed in this company. I either want a refund or a gift voucher because the printer is 4 months old and I cannot do anything with it

Dear Makro
As of today at 07:51 it was 48 hours.. You advised me that I would receive feedback within 24-48 hours. And yet, no feedback is provided.

Dear Makro..
As of today, 5 January, I still had no response from you. When I first wrote to you on the 28th December 2020, you said that I would receive feedback within 24-48 hours.. It has already been 8 days and no response from your side. I am not going to keep the faulty printer and lose R2500.
