5.0 out of 5 stars Seems like a good printer once you get it connected (and that was difficult)

My old Pixma 495 is 12 years old, malfunctioning at times, I also wanted a printer that would connect to my cell phone. I needed to smallish one to fit on a low shelf of my computer desk pull out shelf. Since it's down low, I wanted the controls on top. Also wanted a scanner. Also did not want to risk an ink spill while filling up cartridges from a tank. So the Pixma TS3520 fit those bills. Instructions were good. However, it took me two hours and multiple tries to link it to my router and my tower, windows 10 computer. I kept getting an E38 error message (cannot connect to wireless router). Press "OK" and start again. I had not restarted my computer after disconnecting my old Pixma. Maybe that was the issue. So finally, I restarted my computer, re-downloaded the "START" software from the Canon website and it worked. Of note, you have to press the link button for >3 seconds during this first linking process. But when linking subsequent computers, wirelessly, you do not press this button. (the instructions do not tell you that)
Also, of note, desktop printer utility, and scanner utility icons do not appear on you desktop. You have to drag and drop them over from the startup menu.
Also this printer is not in the list of printers that qualifies for the AR (Auto Renewal) ink service as best I can tell

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed

I needed a very basic printer for our home office bc we don't need to use it regularly. I wanted something inexpensive and this was a great price. Dont worry when it arrives and you see no instructions; you only need the web page that guides you step by step ... I just plugged it in, put the ink in (comes with black and color), turned it on, then went to the website as instructed. The setup was really so easy and simple, it goes step by step along with you and connects wireless fast. It was ready to go & printing in under 5 minutes wiyhout needing computer knowledge - way easier than I anticipated.

Only Cons:
- It has a brief delay btwn actual print start and the time you actually clicked on print, but for me it's for home office usage so not a big deal. If you're high tech or need speed, this is not going to make you happy lol
- I discovered that if you want to print double-sided however, it is a pain bc first it prints the one side for each page, then prompts & instructs you to manually flip the pages and re-insert into the feeder again yourself, FYI
Isn't a dealbreaker for me. It is quite literally a very basic bare-bones printer, Fax, scanner.

Easy to use, self-explanatory buttons vs a screen digitally, easier for my mom in her late 70s to operate vs our old brother model that constantly gave us issues. Very easy to figure out set-up, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Budget Printer
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023

I had a decades old Epson printer that was just dying and so I was looking for a replacement budget printer. I work from home but I just need to print like 5 pages a week BUT I do occasionally need to print, scan, and copy more.
This printer was inexpensive and had good reviews so I went with it.

And it does print well straight away. I have it plugged directly into my laptop and it didn't try to make me download a program to run it which is great because my work computer probably wouldn't have allowed it and we don't have an IT person anymore so idk who would have helped me... Fortunately, I can print while connected to the computer.

I did manage to connect my phone to the printer so it'll do printing via a phone app (using Bluetooth, possibly? Haven't used it more than once but it did connect pretty easily).

For some reason, I can't get it to print via WiFi. As far as I can tell, you'd need to be able to set up the WiFi connection while on a computer? (Instead of entering in the WiFi information directly into the printer, like my decades old Epson printer did). I don't have a non-work Windows computer however and had no luck getting it to connect with my Chromebook. My father tried connecting wirelessly with his HP laptop and I believe was eventually able to get it to work. So perhaps eventually I'll figure it out too.
Just wanted to mention it because WiFi set up may be difficult because you apparently don't work solely with the printer to get it connected to WiFi and it requires a computer from what I understand.
Maybe I'm just bad with directions?

Also: THE INK IS EXPENSIVE. As usual, the cheaper the printer, the more expensive the ink. I paid $25+ for the cheapest replacement Black ink I could find. Which is kind of crazy since $25 would get me multiple replacement cartridges for every single color on my old printer combined. Just something to be aware of if you do a lot of printing and go through a lot of ink.

I have a traumatic history with printers. I wanted something SIMPLE to print the occasional document. No apps, no screens, no advanced mechanics to break. So far, so good. Connected easily and does what it’s supposed to.

Great little printer I just needed it to try out some sticker ideas for the kids and to make a few other things for my store. So far I used a 20 pack of vinyl sheet and it has worked as good as my cricut the only difference is you obviously cut them by hand. I also have a $200 printer and this one so far is the superior
