Canon PIXMA MG3650S Series - All-in-One Printers, Copier & Scanner for Home Use | Wireless Smartphone Connectivity | Canon Printer Home Printers

A very good printer-simple to set up and use

I would have preferred to give the Canon MG3600 three and a half stars, but this isn't an option.I didn't find the instructions for setting up the printer particularly clear or concise. The printer wouldn't link to my laptop through WiFi, fortunately I had kept the ethernet cable from my old printer so linked this and the laptop with the cable. It seemed more of a faff setting the Canon printer up compared to setting up my old printer a few years ago.However the printer is now working and it can print double sided which is good.

I was a hesitant about buying this printer - I didn’t have much money to spend and have always had a good experience with Canon printers but was a bit put off by the reviews here. I had had a horrible experience with an HP printer so I decided to go for this one and send it back immediately if it didn’t do the job. But, hey! Despite having some difficulties setting it up (but definitely not insurmountable, and I am very old!) it is absolutely what I need. I only use it 2 or 3 times a week to print out reading materials for my classes or detailed instructions with colour pictures for my home use, but it does all of that fine. I can print from my iPhone and iPad successfully. The colour is good. I love it! No idea about ink costs yet but perhaps buying generic cartridges might be an answer. I was slightly put off by the idea of a single colour cartridge but decided to go ahead anyway. I have no regrets at all so far - but be assured that I will add to this review if anything goes wrong.

This was easy to set up and link to my phone and tablet as well as my laptop. The ink cartridges were easy to install and it works well.

Appallingly complicated to install. Even after downloading the software it’s extremely complicated. Doesn’t even tell you when to turn on WPS on router. Spends 2 minutes trying to find the printer on network before you’ve connected it. Utterly stupid and frustrating. So far I’ve spent 45 minutes and I still can’t print

Replacement same make different model but very happy with this product.

Decent print quality and ink consumption. One of the few printers I could find actually still in stock at time of purchase. Canon are a reputable brand.However, setup instructions were inadequate - not much point adding printed instructions if I end up needing to Google them anyway! Included zero instructions on how to connect it to a wireless router, to be shared by all PCs - the only instructions were to connect it directly to one machine or via the smartphone app. Canon's online support webpage was good, however.The scanning quality is atrocious until you download Canon's entire software suite which they insist on bundling with the drivers. It appears it is not possible to only install the required 'IJ Scan Utility' but you need to also install Quick Menu, Image Garden, etc. Overly complex and fills your PC needlessly.Nonetheless, it is well-built, never had connection problems using it wirelessly, and it does what it says on the tin. Bit let down by the instructions and software setup, but otherwise a good printer.

Colours really good and cheap enough
