Third Review
on December 22, 2012
Posted by: Professor
from Jacksonville, FL
I bought the MG 3120 as an emergency printer replacement. This is my third review of this printer. The MG3120, when used as intended, provides a very reliable and versitile printer.
A common complaint of this printer is that it is noisy and slow. There is a feature to reduce printer noise and it is kept in this mode. As stated, a few reviewers complained that the MG3120 is too slow. This printer was never intended as a high volume and high speed printer.
The features provided with the MG3120 are ideal for student and home use. The reason for my comment is that I gave it to my twelve year old son after I upgraded to the Canon MX432. Upon moving the printer to his room, he set it up for Wi-Fi use. The printer is ideal for him because he is an occasional user and finds that the printer meets his needs.
My son uses a laptop computer to prepare his class assignments. Afterwards, he uses the Wi-Fi connection to printout his work.
The MG3120 can print great photographs; however, while this printer can print great photographs, this is not a photographic printer. If a person is going to print high volumes of photographic prints, there are photographic printers that do the job but are more expensive.
Additionally, the MG3120 is not a high volume document printer. This may be handled with a higher priced laser jet print.
The MG3120 printer is ideal for home and student use when there is an occasional print need to print. The print cartrages can be extended in their use by adjusting the print quality from fast, to standard, and to high quality printing. My other reviews were made on May 13, 2012 and June 02, 2012.

constant problems
on May 21, 2013
Posted by: Karsen
from Baltimore MD
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.
Cons: unreliable, Flimsy Construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

JUNK!
on February 22, 2014
Posted by: JOGGY
from Peoria, IL
Biggest waste of money and piece of junk printer I have ever owned. I have had this printer a little over a year and it NEVER operates properly. I'm sorry I just purchased ink for it because I'm about to throw it in the TRASH!!!! It constantly will not connect to network. It cannot be found by the printer. More often than not I cannot get it to work. I GIVE UP!!!
Cons: never works!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just wanted to share my great experience with the purchase of my New Canon PIXMA MG3120 series, This machine has everything i could ever want from an All-in-one. I love the easy usage of it the simplicity of how easy it is to set-up and works like a charm with any job you throw at it, Thanks Canon and keep up the good work.

fine WHEN it worked
on June 15, 2013
Posted by: Printless
from Charleston, SC
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.
Pros: Compact Design, Easy Setup, Lightweight/Portable, attractive
Cons: Dull Tones & Colors, unreliable, High Ink Consumption, highly unreliable, got a bad batch
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good entry level printer

I've had this printer about 1 year now and use the wi-fi feature. Just purchased an iPad and my first printing experience was very easy. The iPad searched for a printer, found the 3120, I selected it and it printed my document. Doesn't get much easier than that.
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good home printer, great value!

from St. Louis
This has been an excellent printer for my low to moderate home use. The print quality is superb, print speed acceptable, the ink use is less than other similar printers I have used and cartridges cost much less.
The scan and copy features are straight forward and perform as expected. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone with average printing use needs or less.
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
