Megatank G3290 All-in-One Wireless Supertank [Megatank] Printer | Print, Copy, Scan | Mobile Printing |2.7" LCD Color Touchscreen | Auto Duplex

just bought the g3290 last week. Setup was pretty easy and the printer works well on windows 11, macOS and my iPhone. I can see where other reviewers got into problems with the setup as the easy setup worked well, but the other variations may not. I may have gotten lucky. The print quality is pretty good for the price and the printer worked well in full duplex ( double sided printing ) on Macs, windows and IOS. The printer does not print that fast, but it's probably as fast as other printers in that price range. Hoping that this is as reliable as the epson workforce that this pinter replaced. I tried the epson printer equivalent to this model canon, but it died after 2 months.

Printer is nice and light weight, small and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Love having the ink included in bottles and not having to buy expensive cartridges that don’t last long. The only thing I don’t like is it doesn’t have a separate tray for smaller paper. You have remove letter sz and then load a differ size in the same tray.different size

I wanted to like this, I was SO excited to order and receive it... but already out of the box the setup to connect was frustrating and we kept going around in circles. The QR code on my android, once the page loaded... did not stop loading. The setup page just kept spooling glitching and resetting so there was no way to actually connect that way. Tried it on my tablet (would be mostly printing from that) and my android phone (same conclusion). Had to do it with PC. The LCD screen and lack of instruction also frustrated my partner. FINALLY after Forever we got it connected. Which leads to HOURS to try to get a decent true black print. I tried 10 different type of papers (glossy, semi gloss, matte, presentation paper, plain and some others). Every print on glossy looks the same. Faded, Red Hue, MUD. Every print on Matte turned out a little better (at least not red hue) but Grayish hue and not black black. The Only Black I saw even close to black was on test print on plain paper. Any image that printed black was a Black and white image on plain paper (which may work on glossy except I do a lot of color). THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PRINTER SETTING OPTIONS in the Canon apps. You cannot tweak it, tweak alignment, no contrast/brightness, no color intensity no detailed options whatsoever. It is the worst printing app editor for artists. You just have to be happy with quality either Standard or High, a paper type, borderless option. No much else really. I downloaded All the Canon apps for this particular model from their site. There is basically NO printer app that will work with Canon that has detailed printing options mentioned above. I thought with Canon being about images, that somehow they would have it together enough for artists, but they seem to cater to Only general basic consumer and not the artist. The App/s are FRUSTRATING and Severely lacking. The printer itself is noisy and a busy body. Constantly nagging you and beeping as soon as you put paper in it want's to know what paper size/type... BUT they ask the same question in the printing app itself, the two don't always talk to each other. I shouldn't have to always answer and set that info twice. Then after every individual print it seems to clean its heads. Fine... if I were doing a ton of printing. . . but after every single print (literally when I print one sheet and nothing after). Then it takes around 10 min. for a Full color borderless print. Which would be fine... except it does not print true black or Black at all ... just a muddy brown/red/gray black. There is no troubleshooting that can fix the color not printing correctly because it can recognize and only do a close to black IF the image is B/W to begin with on basic paper... but if you are doing color... with a lot of black in the image... Forget it. AND... because this was brand new and no clogged anything. Straight out the box issues from setup/connect to print. I tried on all platforms (phone/tablet/PC desktop), I also tried to print from dif. apps like Photoshop, photo editor from my comp etc... just to try to bypass the Canon Lack of editor feature set. Nothing worked. I also tried dif. setting options in the Canon app (changed paper settings, changed standard to high (pretty much the only setting options they gave). And all gave the same muddy red/brown/gray/black options. This has been one of the most depressing, frustrating, angry experiences I've ever had with a printer and printer app. I CANNOT recommend for ANY artist that wants true black or control over print edit features mentioned above. You will upset if you settle for this. I either have to get a machine that isn't refillable (which is Gonna SUCK)... or suffer the fate of forking over 3xs the amount for another refillable brand that I've heard may leave paper feed perforated track marks in gloss photo paper. Neither option is good. So many other things to say about the experience... but I'm TIRED! Returning, and someone else can feel what I felt when they open the box swimming in the inks I filled in the tank and couldn't take back out. Attaching pics for reference of color prints. One of the pics has a set of 1" button prints for reference of what the black should look like and doesn't. That was printed on my old Epson. The OG image on the rest of the prints was Very bright and the black was very black. The prints that look a little less Red are on Matte, and the others are on glossy... and the black and white design was B/W to begin with on basic paper. Much Luck People, and Canon... PLEASE DO BETTER!!!

I got rid of my old printer as It was still looking brand new, worked great AND A FIRMWARE UPDATE BRICKED IT FROM USING 3RD PARTY CARTRIDGES. Not buying that brand again so I looked at Canon which we have used in the office. Of course business type printers not an inkjet like this one. It prints well. A few things I like are: PROs - No cartridges - Filled with bottles so I don't have to buyer their brand cartridges. And the refillable ink and parts are not all that expensive. - Borderless printing which I like - Decent price for the printer. CONs - There are more cons to me, but I haven't bought a printer for 5 years in this price range. So I'm sure things change and these are not too big of deals. - Back load tray. I always liked a paper tray on the bottom which feeds into the machine. Less parts sticking out. - Can't email straight from the machine. Not as easily as my other one which you hit a scanner button. This you have to setup a certain way and not friendly to do so. I also had trouble getting it to recognize my network for scanning to their cloud. Had to change the DNS server to Googles 8.8.8.8 for it to work. The instructions for the printer are all online and is just a jumble of data so you have to hunt around to find what you want. - The web login for the printer itself is so so basic. If they could have just put an address book and let you setup scan to email from there it would have been wonderful. But there is not alot you can do once logging into the printer. - Lastly, NO LAN PORT! The printer sits right next to the modem but they opted to put a USB cable port (yes the old fashioned one) and wireless instead of a LAN port. That would have bade everything so much faster. But like I said, these are basic things. I just want to be able to print and it does a good job of it. Just the scanner, functionality could use alot of tweaking.

I'm very happy with this printer. The ink cartridges for my old printer were quite expensive so I'm looking forward to saving a lot of money with these refillable ink tanks. My first colour print was perfect. I copied a page from a pattern book and it looked exactly like the original as far as clarity and colour exactness is concerned. Setup instructions on the printer screen were very clear and easy to follow. Connecting to Wifi was very fast and effortless. The only complaint I have is that the diagram on the printer screen for installing the print heads was not at all clear. Thank goodness for YouTube videos. Canon could have included a sheet of paper showing exactly how to open the print head housing. Some of us are wary of applying any force to delicate equipment unless it's clearly called for. Canon did not include a USB cable to connect the printer directly to a computer. For me it wasn't an issue because I had one already but it's something that potential buyers should be aware of. My Wifi is usually disabled as I use an ethernet cable to access the internet so having the USB option is more convenient & faster than enabling the Wifi. The only other complaint I have is that, to the best of my knowledge, Canon does not offer a downloadable PDF file of the user manual, which can only be accessed from their website. I like to have information available offline as well.

Works great!

a very frustrating printer. Slow if it prints at all. Redone the software several times but still will be very slow to finish several pages.

Je l adore … elle va tellement bien !

I have had this printer a short time but so far I have been very happy with it. I haven't tried printing any photos as of yet but will keep you updated.
