Canon PIXMA MG3150

The Canon PIXMA MG3150 is a near-entry-level all-in-one, but with a couple of extras aiming to raise it above the competition. Don't rush to print duplex, though.

Easy PhotoPrint Mobile printing ; Good plain and photo prints ; Neat look when closed

Very slow duplex prints ; Awkward display codes ; Pauses during colour print

Canon Pixma MG3150 review

It's not the easiest model to use, nor does it have the fastest print speed, but its high-quality output and range of features for the price make the Canon MG3150 a good budget buy.

Slow print speed ; Combined colour cartridge

The lack of a proper screen does mean that the MG3150 is slightly more difficult to use than the likes of HP's Deskjet 3050A. It's no sprinter when it comes to print speed either. However, the addition of extra features like duplex printing, and the...

Canon MG3150

Airprint

Ended up getting two of these for sons going to Uni. Seem fine so far. Bonus was that they support AirPrint for Apple devices (laptops, iPads and iPhones). You don't seem to be able to 'wake up' when sending a print job (as per our old home Cannon...
