Sorry Abby, but we are elderly now and moving out of our online business of making websites and videos. I am unsubscribing from many systems, but my wife and I so appreciated your help. Bruce
Omg thank goodness for your video! Pushing down the blue button for ink was tougher than my other printers but your walkthrough helped tremendously. Thank you for sharing:)
Thanks you so very much Abby for your instructions on Canon Pixma - your videos are so go and helpful. All the best to you for all your Canon instructions and explanations. Bruce in eastern Canada
Hi, i haven't tried this, but it could work. You won't get the same high-quality results you would from a decidated photo printer. And printing pictures m would cause the ink to run out quite fast with this printer.
Hello Pennyy! No this is not compatible with thermal heat transfer paper. You would need a dedicated thermal printer for that. If your interested I would recommend the Phomemo Shipping Label Thermal Printer it's the one I currently use :)
@@pennyycheema8586 Oh sorry for the confusion, yes you could use this printer for that as long as the paper fits although its not fabric specific ink so great results may not be guaranteed.
Hello Rutendo! To use the scanner you 1) Turn on the printer 2) Open the scanner lid and place the sheet of paper you want to scan inside while making sure to line up the page with the arrow in the top left 3) Press either the Black or Colour button - depending on if you want to print in black and white or print in colour 4) The printer will scan then print the page :)
is there a manual that one can get, what about paper jammed, two yellow lights are on and it prints both colors,, i just got my printer, should it be out of ink already or are they not fully ink cartridges..
Hi Howard, you can find printer the manual here ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/WebPortal/PTL/ptl-model.html?lng=en&type=manual&area=ca . Not sure how much you have used your printer but you can see your ink levels when the is printer on and connected to your computer or phone.
Great video. I've owned this printer for just over a year, and now it's having major issues. Uninstalled and tried reinstalling drivers from Canon website, but the TS3400 series is not even listed or available on the site anymore. It goes from the TS3300 to the TS3500. Anyone having this same issue?
Thanks, and sorry to hear that Jason, not sure how to fix that, I'm not having those issues. I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Canon customer service for assistance.
Hi there! The ink is relatively long lasting for a printer at this price range, one cartridge generally lasts me a few months with daily use. And I haven't tried to 2-sided print however, I've reviewed the manual and don't see 2-sided printing listed as a function so I dont believe it can do that.
Just got it (mine is white) and configuration with smartphone was pretty easy. But my computer is still running on Windows Xp and I don't think there are any available drivers. Won't be much of a problem, but I am just curious to know if connection would still be possible.
@@GoodMusicManiac999 put Antix LinuxOS 32 bit on your PC, Your old computer will run better and will receive security updates and your printer will work fine.
Hi kawaii_plays, yes you can. Just download the "Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY" app. Follow the steps to connect your printer then you can wireless print with your phone :)
Hello Jeff! You can definitely use a remanufacturer ink. However, in my experience the remanufacturer ink did not last half as long as the Canon ink when I tried it out in my Canon printer. So I prefer to stick to canon ink. Also it didn't harm my printer at all.
Thank you so much , for your fast response back I just bought my Ts3420 and all this wireless stuff Is new to me I am now using a google chromebook so used to windows so everything so different now and In reference to the ink that cannon can be very $$ so that’s why I asked about using remafacturer ink , Thanks so much been very kind with your time.
@@jeffkoven No problem glad to help :). I hope you enjoy your new chromebook, and I agree thier is definitely a learning curve when switching from Windows.
Hi Kathy, if you don't want to print from your computer you can set it up through your smartphone only to wireless print. I have a video showing how to set up with your phone and how to scan below if your interested :) ruclips.net/video/FJqFqd42VSs/видео.html
Hi Abby , I sent you a message about a year ago, and you help me out when I first bought my printer I moved since and trying to set It up again and doing It through the cannon app on my iPhone and having problems I know your not showing that step In your video but have you run Into any others with this same issue, Thanks
Hi Jeff, I'd be glad to help! I'm actually coming out with a new Canon printer video tomorrow on my ABRtechtuesday series so I'll be sure to add a part showing how to connect the printer to a smartphone using the app for you in the video. If you have additional questions after watching that feel free to send another message :)
Hello Z FOWLS! If the colour or black ink cartridge is empty/very low it will still print and work fine, you'll just get a low ink warning before printing. But if you take one out it wont work at all, as both cartridges need to be inside the printer for it to print.
Hi Dustin! Yes it can as long as the paper size you choose fits. However, I wouldn't recommend that as there is a chance the paper could get stuck while printing. I'd recommended a thermal printer for sticky shipping labels, I personally use this Phomemo thermal printer amzn.to/37TzSAj
Hi Meaghan, to find the wps code follow these steps: 1. Make sure there is paper loaded in your printer (at least 2 sheets) 2. Turn on the printer and wait about 10 seconds for the display to load 3. Find the information and wireless buttons (top left) press and hold the information button (i) then right after press and hold the wireless button as well (be sure you are holding both buttons down until you hear the sound of the printer printing). 4. Look at the printout and you will see the wps code there under Wireless LAN
Hi Kylie! Yes it will print on card stock. I've used it to print DIY cards and they turned out great :). However, I wouldn't recommend using coated card stock, it is harder to print on as the coating prevents the ink from fully abosrbing into the paper.
Hi Rayat, yes I can definitely explain this for you! 1) You need to have the Canon IJ Scan Utility program installed on your computer (check for this should be automatically installed when you downloaded your printers drivers & set it up). The IJ Scan Utility program can be in a folder named Canon Utilities. 2) Turn on your printer & make sure its connected to your computer via wirless or a cord connection. 3) Place the document you want to scan in the printers scanner and make sure its lined up to the arrow on the top left then close. 4) Open the IJ Scan Utility program 5) Click the "Document PDF" button, now the document in the printer will scan and send a PDF to your computer. 😊
Hi Dearra! Yes you can, but you will need a printer cord which is not included. You should be able to find cheap one on amazon or at walmart if your interested 😊
Folks, PLEASE think about what I am saying. As happy and bubbly as this wonderful presenter is NOW about her new printer, when she realizes that she will be THROWING AWAY INK that is still likely half-full because only one color or the BLACK ink has gotten too low, she might start regretting things. Most folks use a home printer for BLACK TEXT, not as many for photos that use all the colors! THINK about it! NEVER purchase a printer with a SINGLE, ALL COLORS INCLUDED CARTRIDGE. This is sort of what kinda killed the Lexmart printer years back. The printer was good, but it only had that ONE COLOR CARTRIDGE. So, ALWAYS get a printer with the three, four or sometimes FIVE individual cartdriges for each color. Three is good, four (usually a different cyan/blue) is a bit better, but FIVE? FIVE (usually a lite pink) IS GREAT! lol But if you are not going to be printing much in the way of photos, just go with the three-color and one black. Regarding black, get a printer that takes the BIG black cartdrige.
I am not sure what you mean about throwing out a half full cartridge, the printer still runs when one ink cartridge is low... And if most people use only black ink, it would make more sense to recommend a more affordable one cartridge black ink monochrome printer, instead of suggesting an expensive multiple cartridge colour printer.
@@AbbyBReviewing I was commenting in a GENERAL manner how when ONE OF THE COLORS runs out, there is often PLENTY of ink of the other two or three colors in that ONE cartridge you are throwing away... VERY wasteful. ALWAYS spend your money on printers that feature separate color ink cartridges. This way, you only spend money on ink you need.✨🤗✨
@@dearrawarden6343 Well, EVERY major printer company has a few, but stay away from some of the printers that 'feature' ink carts with the chips that automatically TURN OFF the ink flow after a certain criterion is met, such as the TIME or the AMOUNT OF PAGES PRINTED. I think THAT feature has fallen out of favor for the most part, as folks realizing this decided to use a diferent printer. Also, there are quite a few folks that will sell you modified or AFTER MARKET CARTRIDGES with the needed 'chip' of the cartridge either removed or modified. Before TANK printers became available, most of us just used refillable ink cartridges, making sure the printer being bought did NOT require the SPECIAL crtridges with the dang 'chips'. OR, we just found a CIS that fit our printer model. CIS (Continuous Ink System) is a system that has TANKS outside of the printer that you keep an eye on and re-fill as they get low. Not every printer can use a CIS set-up, so if that sounds good for you, make sure your printer can use one first. I just purchased one of the CANON printers that features TANKS that you re-fill when needed. The tanks are BUILT IN. CANON and EPSON have several of these TANK models and BOY-HOWDY do they save on the ink cost! They can be a bit pricey though, which makes up for the loss of ink revenue. Rather than asking everybody regarding the above, just do a search for TANK PRINTERS or such, or SEPERATE COLR PRINTERS... something like that. Good luck!✨🤗✨

Does it have 2-sided printing? Is the ink long-lasting and price efficient?
Hi there! The ink is relatively long lasting for a printer at this price range, one cartridge generally lasts me a few months with daily use. And I haven't tried to 2-sided print however, I've reviewed the manual and don't see 2-sided printing listed as a function so I dont believe it can do that.
Do you have a review on how to use the printing a picture on gloss photo paper?
Hi Diana, it would work the same you just need to use that specific printer paper, and slide to adjust to paper size.
Just got it (mine is white) and configuration with smartphone was pretty easy. But my computer is still running on Windows Xp and I don't think there are any available drivers. Won't be much of a problem, but I am just curious to know if connection would still be possible.
Hi, the manual says it requires windows 8 and up to run the drivers.
@@AbbyBReviewing
As I was thinking. At least I will have a reason to switch my PC on! Thanks so much!
But I just stumbled upon another possibility. What if using an Android emulator on my PC? Virtually it must be feasible.
@@GoodMusicManiac999 Sorry I'm not sure if that would work but, definitely worth a try.
@@GoodMusicManiac999 put Antix LinuxOS 32 bit on your PC, Your old computer will run better and will receive security updates and your printer will work fine.

Do I have to set it up for a computer if all I want to do is print from mobile devices?
