That may not have been intended as sarcasm, but I do appreciate the good natured hint. The whole purpose was to find a printer that I liked that was Linux compatible. Who am I to deprive you of an opportunity to save $40, greentea ? If you are very lucky, this USB-only MFP will match the G3260 in driverless capabilities should it have IPP-over-USB. Is it worth paying the extra $40 for the G3260?īased on what I've discovered so far, I'm going to take a chance on the G2260 and save the 40 bucks. Is it likely that the G2260 will be compatible with Mint? recommends the Brother MFC-J1205W as the Best Budget Printer, but says that the Canon G3260 is better I rarely need to print anything in color, although the G3260 printer is listed as the Best Budget Photo Printer at rtings:Īlso, the ink tanks are convenient and relatively low cost, and the G2260 comes with (2) extra black ink bottles. I already have a proper USB cable of sufficient length that connects the old Canon printer. I do not know what other significant differences there are. It seems to be nearly identical to the Pixma G 3260 which adds wireless connectivity for $40 additional cost. The printer I'm interested in is the Canon Pixma G2260. The information shows that the Canon printers I list below were first available in December 2020.

Some posts in an older thread from 2017 recommend avoiding Canon, but I think that is now outdated.

I looked at this thread about printers for Linux: I need to replace my 17 year old Canon Pixma All-In-One printer.
