The Pixma MG3120 Photo All-in-One Inkjet Printers from Canon delivers color prints at 5 ppm and black at 9.2 ppm. This step-up model from the MG2120 includes Wi-Fi connectivity so you can print from any computer on your wireless network, automatic two-sided printing and copying, and the ability to print documents and images directly from a Smartphone. The printer uses Canon's FINE ink technology to provide photo-quality printing right from your own computer. Borderless photos can be printed in standard photo sizes from 4.0 x 6.0" up to 8.5 x 11.0". For documents, the printer can handle up to legal-size pages. The included Easy WebPrint EX utility makes it easy to print exactly what you want from the web without wasting paper. The utility lets you collect sections from multiple web pages and rearrange them before printing. The printer uses a 2-cartridge ink system, making it easy to maintain and replace your ink cartridges.
The auto duplex mode helps cut your paper consumption by up to 50%. Not only can you print two-sided documents automatically, you can copy two-sided documents as well. Additionally, use the copy features to transform a multipage 1-sided document to a 2-sided document and vice-versa.
These days Smartphones are more popular than ever. With more people doing more on their Smartphones, including sharing documents and photos, the ability to print directly from your handheld device is more important than ever. The MG3120's Smartphone printing cuts out the extra step of emailing a file from your Smartphone to your computer just to print it; simply send the file directly from your mobile device to the printer. The built-in flatbed scanner provides the ability to scan both photos and documents with an auto scan mode that can detect whether you are scanning a photo or a document. Should a photo need to be corrected, simply use the Auto Photo Fix II to ensure your scanned photos look their best. The scanner software also lets you apply filter effects such as fish eye, miniature and toy camera to your photos. You can even use the software to extract a single frame from an HD movie clip and print it as an image.

Comments about Canon MG3120 Photo All-In-One Printer:
I'm not very techy so it was a relief when this printer was up and running in about 20 minutes. I haven't used it very much yet but when I have, it's been easy to use and the copies and printouts have been excellent. It is also very nice looking.
The website indicated that I would need a usb cable but one came with the printer. So I had to waste some time returning the extra one.

Comments about Canon MG3120 Photo All-In-One Printer:
Excellent quality printing. Takes a few seconds to get started but prints reasonably quickly. I appreciate the automatic double-sided feature. Having to take the paper out in order to print an envelope is a minor inconvenience.

Comments about Canon MG3120 Photo All-In-One Printer:
Easy to install, small footprint, 10000x better than the HP it replaced.
The wireless connection is perfect (HP was out of commission most of the time and required wired connections to print) and we havent had an issue.
Mail order service time, delivery etc. from B&H was also superb. Delivered on time and in perfect condition.

Very simple to setup and get connected. I didn't run into any issues. I setup the wireless to my computer systems through the USB cable rather than fighting forever with the wireless mechanisms at first and it turned out to be simple. Highly recommend.. good quality printer for a great price at B&H.
