Cannon MP830 on the blink

I need your help with a printer which has gone on strike.

We bought a Canon MP830 3 years ago. It worked fine, did a lot (I do mean A LOT! Inktcartridges replaced every 3 months!) of printing.

Last couple of days it seemed to have more trouble starting up; it made a bit more grinding noises according to my wife. Yesterday it had to print a few pages, but the last page did not seem to print at all: my wife turned the printer off and tried to turn it on, which it refused.

When I got home I unplugged the printer from the outlet and gave at an hour to discharge and plugged it in again and tried to turn it on: not a thing.

Now what is going on with it (internal fuse blown, transformer gone, motherboard fried,...?) and is it worth it get it fixed or should I just go for a replacement?
