Did not work for me!

Long time Canon user: extremely disappointed!. I ordered this printer on 9/15 and could not get it to properly work, no matter what I did. Laptop is a M2 Max with 32GB of RAM and running Sequoia 15.0. Downloaded Canon PRINT software utilities, installed the software and printing was super slow. Scanning was spotty and when it worked, it took over 5 minutes to scan a page (default dpi). Wi-fi is not an issue. I called today to get an RMA. Will be looking for another Canon model or perhaps another vendor. Sorry Canon!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great printer!

I received this printer for free in exchange for my honest review, and I have been quite impressed with its performance. The setup process was quick ad straightforward, and the printer connected seamlessly to my Wi-Fi network, making wireless printing a breeze. The printer quality was great and my sheets printed out quickly. It is small enough to fit in my closet and is perfect for an at-home printer.

Nice little Printer with a lot of features
on December 1, 2024

Keeping in mind my Canon PIXMA MG 5320 Printer lasted a little more than 9 years, and never had a problem with it.
This Mega Tank PIXMA G4280 is pretty fancy and has a lot of bells and whistles. It is going to take me a while to figure out how to use it more fully if I ever do.
When I bought this printer I thought it had a paper tray on the bottom. It does not. The paper supply feeds from the rear of the printer. As with any rear fed paper supply the support that holds the paper in place is a little flimsy side so It is often necessary to check and make sure the paper is set straight so the rollers can grab onto the paper and pull it through.
The windows for checking ink levels are too dark to see through.
Side to side: 16-1/2" Your printer will need space while it is working.
Front to back: about 28" to allow room for the paper support and the paper without interference, and for the little pull-out tray in front to catch the printed sheets.
Bottom to top and above: 16-1/2" tall to allow for the paper and paper support to be pulled out fully.
All in all it is a pretty nice little printer and it is not too expensive. I bought one full set of replacement ink bottles also not very expensive. It prints beautifully nice and clear edges.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good printer but has a couple of things I don't like. I miss the paper tray that you could load from the front. I also don't like that I have to take the paper out of the back to feed any other paper.

The use of this printer and scanner are user friendly as you would expect. I have not printed other than letter size plain paper images. Most all prints have been B&L or color pictures that I use for reference drawing or painting. It could be me, but no matter how much I enhance the subject picture in software, it prints out really "washed out" (that's the only way I know to describe it). The B&L prints in shades of gray with very little contrast. Color prints are pastel for lack of a better way of putting it. Everything else is fine with this printer but these issues along with ink use are what I bought this printer for. So - - -

Slow and Inconsistent Printer
on February 23, 2025
Posted by: Frustrated Mac User
I bought this printer shortly after it launched in 2024. I was happy to be able to buy a multifunction ink tank color printer. The best feature of this printer is the mega tank ink supply. The printer prints text and simple graphics clearly and well on regular office paper. It feeds paper well through the rear paper feed. It also prints sharp photos on photo paper. Unfortunately that is where the stars stop adding up.
This printer does not play well with MacOS and its lackluster AirPrint Driver. Unfortunately Canon has chosen to not provide MacOS drivers so AirPrint is all we get and it does not perform well for me. If you have a Mac, I would steer clear of any printer that does not have its own proprietary drivers as using this printer for scanning and photos is a frustrating experience. Phots are sharp, but colors are not accurate. They are close, but not good enough for me. Scanning is a page by page chore if you are using the flatbed scanner. The printer is slow to print and scan, and is slower than my previous home office multifunction printer. The printer also does not consistently print a document from all our devices like MacBooks, iPads and iPhones so when we go to retrieve a document, we end up sending it to the printer again. I have worked with Canon on this and have confirmed I have a strong wifi connection to the printer so it is not that. I have asked Canon to exchange this printer for a different model and they have not agreed to that. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this printer.
