Used Canon PIXMA G3260 Wireless MegaTank All-In-One Inkjet Printer

2023-08-25T20:00:00

Its prints ok most of the time, but when doing large batches it almost always gets a head clogged. The odd thing is, If I let it sit, it fixes itself somehow. So I just always have to print things in small batches and wait inbetween.

It worked perfectly! For a few hours, anyway. I've been trying to use this printer for almost two years. After it initially printed dozens of beautiful photographs, it simply stopped printing black ink. Eventually, after a year or so, it began to print correctly again, yay! Now it has run out of black ink. All of the other colors remain pretty much at the top level of the tanks. So I've been trying to fill the black tank for a couple of months. No dice. The ink simply will not go into the tank. I have decades of experience with computers and printers. This is a baaaaad machine. It may simply be a lemon, but do yourself a favor and pass on this!

I have not used the printer enough to rate this correctly. The initial reviews I read, prior to purchasing, said it had faxing ability. Unless you have to use an app., I don't see a way to fax. Any ideas??

Set up was easy. Print quality is excellent. My only complaint is that it's loud. It's so loud when printing and during whenever it does to prepare for the next print job that I contemplated sending it back but decided to just leave the room while printing instead of researching a different model. This was a replacement for a different Canon Pixma model.

Love the mega tank concept but this printer was not a good fit for me. 1. description was not clear that it only uses a rear paper feed and this increases the height requirements. 2. I wanted to activate the auto shut off, which is theoretically possible, but the small screen (another disadvantage) and cumbersome navigation of the menu made this impossible. I'm looking at a G6020 for front paper tray solution but it appears to have the same small screen (not viewable from the front) and same menu problems.

Great product and was very easy to set up and get working on my network. Replaced a HP printer exactly for these reasons!

I bought this last week, set it up today. All's well until I try to connect to my iPhone. As soon as I click on the network name, it turns off WiFi and it won't connect without it. Tried to call, got stuck in a loop, can't get to a human. Not happy.

The printer has been fine but the Canon people who sold it to me never mentioned that it does not have automatic two sided printing. One has to place the sheet back upside down to do that. And they knew that the prior printing had that feature. As a result, I bought a printer that cannot do that automatically which is an issue.

I bought this printer less than a year ago. The scanner is clunky in terms of accessing your scanned documents, but it works fine for that. The print function is horrible. In the first week I had to buy special paper to clean the rollers in order to get the paper to catch and run through the machine. I have to use the cleaner paper almost every time I want to print. I can sometimes push the paper hard enough that the rollers catch, but not always. Plus, if I'm on the couch and trying to print I have to get up and babysit the paper feed. It's so annoying. Once it prints the copies are fine, but the process is not good. I regret that I bought this.

Printer worked great up until about the 15 month mark and died on me. Past the 1 year warranty so all they will offer me is a 10% discount if I buy through them.

I have had the printer for about a month. I read the reviews and have come to the conclusion that the bad reviews are from people who do NOT know what they are doing. YES, the Wi-Fi setup is a nightmare. Other than that the printer works flawlessly. I Use PaperPort Software for Scanning and absolutely no issues. Wi-Fi no issues. I like the auto power on, and the power off (deignated time. I am an expert tech. and I have found that the average so called experienced user really does NOT understand technology and need a pro to show them what to do. I highly recommen this printer. The print quality and speed are great, and the scanner works without any issues. I have found that people who give 1 or 2 star ratings in 90% or more of the cases are the issue, not the device.

So far so good. I can't really say much about reliability because I haven't had it long enough to say, but so far no problems. The wireless works great. I had a little trouble setting it up, but that was just me trying to get ahead of myself. Ink usage seems pretty good, but then again I haven't had it long enough to judge.

the worse printer and scanner to connect to a MAC. When you finally connect, and the next day is again disconnected. The trouble shooting is not worth a penny of this product. Do not buy it if you reading this and have a MAC. Specially the new MAC because the connecting cable is not compatible.

Used Canon printers w/COMPLETE satisfaction for over 20 years. Lost instructions for Pixma G3260 & there is no access on how to replace the ink TANKS anywhere online.

This is the worst printer i have ever seen. it's uncomfortable. it's too slow and its menu is terrible. The software is a mess. Don't waste your money.

Canon has a real problem with their machines. This one prints beautifully - as long as you don't mind it being "offline" every time you need to use it. If you have time to re-install the software every time you need it, that might work. I had another Canon that did the same thing. It's terrible!

However I agree with some of the other reviews regarding the wi-fi problems. I turn on the printer and send a page to print and get "Looking for printer". Sometimes it connects fairly quick other times it doesn't connect at all. I turn off the printer and wait 10 seconds turn it on and it prints right away. Then I print 5 or 6 pages and it then goes back to looking for printer. I had another Canon printer a couple of years ago and had the same problem. I also have an Epson ink tank printer and have no problem with wi-fi connection.

Excellent printer but the worst support of any company I deal with. Instructions for setup do not work as promised. No way to get help. Serial number the case does not correspond to serial number in the display setting. Can not register

Bought this to replace Pixma 3200 which kept getting ink clogged up. The addition of gray and red inks really make photographs look great on the Photo Glossy II paper

I'm almost through my yellow ink (3/4 so I've printed a lot of pages for journals. The other color inks are about half used give or take a little. The black is still pretty full. I don't know exactly how many pages I have printed but it's been more than I expected. I set the printer up with the direct wifi and it was super simple. I can print directly from my phone, computer and tablets wirelessly without a router. I don't know why people think they need to use the router as it works basically the same. The printer does everything but fax but you can do that with an app or online now. I don't even miss the feature as I've only had to send a fax once this past year. I've printed out photos and documents and both have come out great. I'm very happy that my old Epson Artisan 730 finally died and I purchased this printer. No regrets at all. Highly recommend!!!

I spent HOURS trying to get the paper to feed on this brand new printer. Simple, right? NOPE. I downloaded the manual & followed their instructions again & again. (Do they realize how hard it is to work on the back roller?) Didn't work. Didn't work. Didn't work.

I took me 10 minutes to do the whole process. If you want to connect to Wi-Fi faster please use the WPS option. Just press a button on your router and done takes 20 seconds to connect. I do not know what people are talking about wi-fi connecting issues. Then go to Control Panel and add the printer it will install your drivers. Done. I love how it prints. Let's see about how long it lasts.

ABSOLUTELY A PIECE OF GARBAGE. WIFI CONNECTIVITY SHOULD BE PLUG AND PLAY, NOT A FOUR-HOUR STRESS EVENT. WHAT A LET DOWN.

I only gave this printer 4 stars because the wireless setup utility did not connect the printer to my network automatically. It took a couple of painstaking hours to learn find the solution. I had to use a flashlight to enter my password manually in the tiny Led window to finally get the printer to connect to my home network. My old printer PIXMA TS9120 had a much larger Led display and was much easier to setup the wireless interface. Too bad it quit on me after 3 years. This unit cost a lot more but no thought went into making it more user friendly.
