Can I have a good ol manual??
So now that everything is online, I have to search through the website to learn how to use the features on my new printer. Needless to say, it goes underused. But my biggest issue is that color copies last FOREVER to print out. And then the wireless connection is annoying. Even though they sit next to each other, sometimes my computer can't find the printer!? I hate this thing. Does Cannon have a trading system????

fine WHEN it worked
My first Pixma Wireless worked like a dream! I gave it to my friend and bought myself another one; a duplicate. This one the ink cartridges would never align properly or print correctly.
Returned it for an exact exchange. Same problem PLUS it gobbles up the paper from the feed tray like it's angry and jams up.
Returned it for an exchange. Got Pixma #3 -- same issues!
Pixma #4 - Bought another one from a different store, hoping it came from a different "batch" or something...same issues. It gobbles up the paper and jams the machine.
We've tried everything imaginable, like different paper, one sheet at a time, several sheets at a time -- still jams up. And the ink still prints out thin and blurry. It's the oddest thing?
I like Cannon and I almost never write negative reviews. However, I think folks ought to know that this particular printer seems to be a hit or miss machine.
I've been printing with printers since the internet was born, I know how to load ink and use a printer properly.
What attracted me to the Cannon Pixma 3100 series was the wireless feature and the compact size for the features ratio.
As I said, my first one worked like a charm for about 3-4 months...then I gifted it away. The next 3 have been a nightmare. This very night I have to hit a 24 hour store to buy yet another printer so my daughter can get her work printed out...it's truly frustrating.
All in all, I think it's a good product WHEN it works. Sorry guys at Cannon. I give this one a "D."
Thank you for allowing me to vent and state my case. My suggestion is, folks...buy a different Cannon printer.

constant problems
I have had othe Canon printers and that is why I purchased this one. It was constantly jamming and then the cartridge carrier would not reset to the proper position. After fixing it by the maintenance functions 3 times and it only working for about a week after the fixes, the ink cartridges would not coe out. I prefer Canonn products, but this one was a huge disappointment.

Doesn't Print Reliably
Bought this because I needed a wireless printer. Had an older Canon that always worked well. This one does not. I have a new Windows 8 computer and when I go to print, it starts then hangs. I have reinstalled software, checked firmware, etc multiple times to no avail. Really not worth the trouble when you consider the expense of the cartridges.
