could not get wifi to connect.so used usb cable and every thing works great.prints quick and clear.
If you use the SELPHY app it is easy peasy to set up using you mobile phone. Nothing I dislike about it. It does what it says it does. 5/5.
Works as expected although next one I get will have a feeder to load multiple docs for scanning
The printer is neat and does a good job with the printing or copying. I’m pleased with my purchase.
But, we do *heavy duty* printing, lots of which is on glossy photo paper, and it’s brilliant! If you set it to best quality print, and choose the appropriate paper type from the options in Properties, the black is true black, and colours are rich and deep.
It prints fairly quickly – it’s slower on the higher quality print, which makes sense – but it can print a plain A4 page full of text in about 20 seconds.
Its scanning function is great, too – quick, reliable and scans copies perfectly.
We needed to buy a new printer recently and wouldn’t think of ordering anything else. It’s such a workhorse; it’s reliable, and we’ve never had a problem with it.
Just a quick tip, though: the ink isn’t cheap, so we’ve sampled off-brand alternatives (we’ve tried several through the Vine programme, too) and not one has been any good. This printer really does need official Canon ink to do what it can do. So while, aye, the ink is a little spendier, if you need a halfway decent print, it’s worth the extra pennies.
I ordered the Canon PIXMA MG3650 to replace the same model which had done me good service for about 5 years before I inadvertently damaged it beyond repair. I was sent the upgraded ‘S’ version (at no additional cost) which is proving as good as the original and as a result was very easy to install because it uses the same configuration and programmes etc as the original. Colour prints on normal paper are of good quality, as are b&w text prints. I print a lot of Word documents with implanted photographs and text and am very satisfied with the results. The machine is good value for money, with the only drawback being the cost of the inks (two of the XL packs including both colour and black cartridges cost more than the printer).
unfortunately, i still had spare inks, 540/541, so had to find a canon printer that still used this ink. same software, so good replacement for the one i damaged ,clearing a paper jam!
I researched a new printer after the last Epson printer, which wasn’t very old, needed the heads cleaning after twenty or thirty copies and was eating ink cartridges. I went with the Which grading for this printer. I agree it is not the easiest printer to set up but after trying several times I managed t set up all the features I needed to use with a wi-fi printer. So far so good and I am pleased with the quality and flexibility and i haven’t started to eat print cartridges yet.
The installation guide is ok but the extra advice from an Amazon reviewer made it so much easier.
Print quality – text and photo is good considering the small number of inks. It seems if you want top quality prints you end up with a bigger machine, probably 6 inks and waste an awful lot of expensive ink – in which case why not just have them printed professionally.
Arrived promptly. Bit of a fiddle to set up. Connected to main PC, but had hoped that I could use wi-fi with a laptop as well, but apparently not. One or the other. So first disappointment.
Next it will not scan to my PC, it copies fine, but gives error message that scanner does not work. Have tried to sort, but the instructions say to uninstall and disconnect etc but it was such a fiddle to set up that I don’t want to risk losing the printer and copier functions. So at a bit of a loss what to do. Shame as previous Canon PIXMA lasted 8 years.
Update: discovered fax wouldnt work as I had not registered Canon Image Garden, Opened windows fax and scan and hey presto, printer now scans beautifully. Problem was mine not the printer.
I admit upfront making the mistake of thinking this was an ‘all in one’ printer/scanner/copier etc but as a basic wifi printer it seems hard to beat. Instructions are easy to follow, installation and wifi connection simple and it works first time every time with great quality A4 black printing. For the price it’s excellent vfm and all the more so when you think that 4 genuine replacement ink cartridges will cost more than this printer – really happy with it!
I run my own company Care to Learn Midlands Ltd and needed a printer that we could take out and about with us to print on site. This printer was simple to set up and the print quality is great for the price we paid. I bought extra ink refills at the same time and was impressed that they were not to high in price. I would recommend tis printer if you want to print at a low cost.
I was fully satisfied with this printer until I got a paper jam. In trying to release the paper, I touched the clear film near the the paper jam. The next time I printed a page the image was blurred and a strip across the typeface was missing. On checking online I realised this damages the machine. What a pity as it is a lovely printer at a reasonable price.
I needed a new printer and we have this model at work, so I know it’s good. Wi-fi, double sided printing, one-touch scanning and copying, decent ink life.
BUT. There is no option on the online installation to choose this model. Thousands of others but not this one. Had to use the CD provided – but not every laptop etc these days has a CD drive!! Also, REAMS of paper instructions etc in about 50 languages …what a complete waste of paper!!! I also can’t register this printer as mine because it doesn’t exist on their drop-down list so I have emailed them. POOR, get a grip!
Such a shame this broke after a week, up till then was easy to set up and use and worked over the Wifi, so could use with iphone etc.
Unfortunately ours broke and had to order another one but we have another of these the same and it’s lasted two years of heavy hard handed daily office use
If you don’t have WPS on your wifi router then setup is difficult — I wasn’t able to set up that way, but fortunately I discovered the WPS button on the router and then setup was easy.
Too soon yet to comment on product durability.
Contrary to others’ experience, the ink cartridges that came with the printer (bought from Amazon) seem to be full cartridges, not just low-volume test cartridges.
Build quality / Print quality are both good. Initial wifi setup was a little awkward and no matter what I tried it refused to connect to my BT Homehub.
In the end I connected via a USB cable and followed the instructions for wifi setup using a USB cable and it was fine. Once it had joined my network I had no issues adding it to other Windows and Android devices.
The printer came well packaged and was easy to get out of the box… a diagram on the box showed to do it on its side.
There was a plethora of different language set up instructions… I found the English version. The instructions are very simple to follow with visual info in diagram form and usually a simple sentence. Unpacking took minutes.
A British 3 pin plug is provided ( also a 2 pin) so once all the Orange stickers and plastic transit holders are taken off; turn it on.
Now to wifi set up: again simple straight forward instructions. Download the Canon Selphy app and follow the step by step instructions ( there is a tutorial video as well). You will need your wifi password and know which wifi is yours. Register the printer and should everything have gone to plan a test print option will be offered. So my Kindle Fire tablet can now print.
On to the mobile. Download the app and connect it to the wifi… this time a message came up about NFC, which I ignored. It found my Wi-Fi and I clicked on the printer name (with proxy address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx type). This time an error message came up. I noticed my Wi-Fi signal was weak so I attempted to ‘require’ which didn’t work. So I remembered Richard Ayaoede’s advice on the IT Crowd and turned my printer off and then back on. This time the printer connected and I registered it on my mobile.
I have only printer one thing and this looks fine.
4 stars for build quality…but only paid 30, so what can you expect! Ink is expensive, look around for deals!
The printer does what it says on the box.
1. Took 10-15mins tops in total to setup the printer, setup printer Wi-fi and pair it to iPhone, PC and MacBook. Printed via all 3 on two sided functionality and it all works.
2. Though the printing speed is slow, for the price it’s pretty reliable.
3. Printing quality for black text not exactly crisp but you’ll have to stare and compare to figure that out.
I bought this around a month ago. Works well and is easy to use. Only down side is that it took a few ettempts to pair up with the router as a wireless printer.
Great Printer – We just anted a black and white to print out needed items.
Colour is great – came with some downloadable designs for cards etc, worth the price.
Set up took a bit of patience – but stick with it and its well worth it – wirelessly able to print from laptop and phones.
Set up also allows controls to power up and turn off – can be set to turn off after use – quiet settings can be used
to keep noise level of process to a minimum.
Peased we purchased this – much needed for a long while.
Like many other posters here, I went through hours of trying to get this printer to connect through WiFi to my Android devices.
Then, after taking a rest, I re-read the instructions and, in “GettingStarted 2” I came across the lines that led to my solution. At the top of the second fold of this booklet and under the heading “Smartphone/Tablet (iOS/Android)” it tells Android users to Search for “Canon Print” in Google Play! This is the line that led me astray!!!!
I had searched and found “Canon Print”, downloaded and installed it and ended up with the same problems lots of others have experienced!
When I again struggled through The EXTREMELY POOR INSTRUCTIONS I followed what the HEADING said and downloaded and installed the “Canon Print inkjet/SELPHY” app to my phone and tablet.
Then, (after waking the printer up from its long sleep) it was a simple matter for the Android devices to “see” the printer and set it up. It took about four minutes total to get printing from both my phone and my tablet.
Not only was I really chuffed to get them working but the test (photo) prints were excellent. I have yet to check out all the options that are/should be available but my main problem of WiFi connection is solved. At least for the moment.
So, there are two Canon Print apps you can download. Be careful which one you choose! Actually if you install both I think your device will select the appropriate one, although don’t blame me if things go awry!
I thoroughly recommended all who have this same problem to try out what for me has got my MG3650 Printer working off my Android tablet and phone and has made my day!
– Excellent quality prints
– Lots of reasonably priced refills available
– Quite fast at printing
– Can use with Google print (although I’ve not set this up yet)
– Very quick at photocopying, and very good quality scans.
– Good value fro money
The only negatives I can add are :
1. Took me quite a while to setup and was a bit finicky with the WIFI
2. The WIFI can be difficult a times. I’ve had to reset it twice initially but it seems to be stable for the past few weeks.
The good:
– Print quality is excellent for documents and graphics. Very sharp and strong even on the standard setting
– It’s a compact and tidy looking unit. The paper loading and output can all be done from the front which means it tucks nicely under a desk. For me, this means I no longer have to pull the whole thing out each time I want to print. The scanner/copying bed is on the top, so you’ll need a bit of clearance for that if you’re likely to copy or scan a lot (these functions were a welcome bonus for me but I’m not expecting to do either that much)
– I managed to get the WiFi connection sorted quite quickly. The software download from Canon is a step-by-step wizard so I set it up easily without needing the printed instructions. Initially I used the USB connection to set-up the WiFi connection but it seemed to forget this quickly so I tried the WPS function with my router and it connected straight away and has held so far. Took 20 mins in total including the initial faffing.
A few niggles:
– It doesn’t have an enclosed paper storage tray so unless you are happy for the loader tray to stick out all the time, you’ll have to add paper when you need to use it
– It’s a bit plastick and flimsy in places (but 30 I wasn’t expecting too much). Thankfully there’s no glossy finish on top to attract dust but the rest of the outer case is a magnet
– The starter ink won’t last long. Just doing a few printhead alignment tests depleted the black tank slightly. I’ll replace with XL tanks when needed. If my IP5000 inks were anything to go by though you can run them on the “low” warning for quite a while before they finally give up. It is a little annoying that the two XL ink cartridges will cost more than the printer
– It’s quite noisy but I have enabled the quiet mode all the time as I’m not too bothered about print speed. This has helped a lot.
Overall I think it’s a great value unit with lots of functions for the price, I’m really pleased. I’ll update this review if I get any reliability or build problems as reported elsewhere.
Update 1/2/19: printer still going strong after a year of use. I can’t say I use it loads but it seems to be coping well. The starter ink has only just run out despite warning me it was low after only a few months. Still pleased with this bargain. And no jamming issues as reported elsewhere.
The only trouble with the first machine was a sprung loaded white plastic finger which stopped the paper feeding through.
Replacement for the previous model. Decent for the price, especially for Google Cloud Print, which is curiously less available these days on the cheaper devices out there, but the ink should be cheaper. I always go for the XL packs, and they do last, still, HP ink is a bargain by comparison, alas, no Google Cloud Print, only snotty Apple Print.
Literally reams of pointless bits of paper when only 3 are really needed; the QuickStart guide, the more comprehensive manual, and the warranty.
Everything else can be immediately consigned to the bin.
Irritations: paper capacity is very small – about 50 sheets; the pull out support for the printed output is no where near long enough so the printed sheets drop to the floor; it is meant to go into “sleep” mode when not used and wake again (auto power on) when you next use it, but it stays resolutely dead to the world (just like a teenager) until you poke it i.e touch the ON switch; the dual language “Quick set up guide” is minimalist and there is no more complete manual to download
Amazing value for money. Quality of print outs is excellent. Setting up was not easy and the software that comes with it is OK once I got the hang of it. Copies can be saved in a variety of formats including Pdf. Overall very pleased with my purchase.
Works well via wireless connection. Only down side is has sleep mode which means have to push a button to switch to on. Fine most of the time but if you want to print from your phone you have to walk over to it firs
As for the set-up, I inserted the CD (you can do this online if you prefer). The printer automatically found and connected itself to my wifi. My laptop found the printer and they connected immediately.
I downloaded the free app to my android phone – it found the printer immediately and I was printing from my phone literally within minutes of getting it the printer out of the box. Likewise for my wife’s ipad.
Anyone (like me) worried about getting a wifi printer – don’t be. Absolute doddle to set up and use. Print quality looks great. I haven’t scanned with it yet, but I’m sure that will be fine – based on experience with previous Canon products.
Despite this minor set-up issue, the printer works well, is better than some other ink-jets I’ve had in this price range and what particularly impressed me was the amount of printing that was possible with the ink cartridges. Now these aren’t cheap, I’ve yet to find a manufacturer’s who are, but my last printer was a Kodak (sold to me as ‘great value’ when it comes to supplies) which was a nightmare. I should say I don’t do a lot of printing, so maybe if the number of sheets printed per day was a lot higher, Kodak may have been better value, and the Canon worse. But for low throughput this model seems very good.
Print quality is good, it is easy to use (but keep a download of the manual handy, as some functions are tricky to first master, with the printer lacking a screen and therefore menus etc.
Overall, I’m pleased with the printer (considering its low price), but there are improvements which could be made.
As for the printer it’s excellent for home use does everything you need and is simple to operate. Ink is also supplied so all in all is very good value. A couple of other things it doesn’t come with a USB cable but it is compatible with Windows 10.
They can be a bit fiddly to setup the WiFi for the uninitiated, but once configured I find most customers get a lot of satisfaction from their simplicity and reliability.
The choice of Standard or XL inks gives flexibility and better value for money and much of the lower Pixma range have always used the same Cartridges which makes keeping people topped up with ink really easy.
Packed with features and great value for money in my book.
