CAVEAT EMPTOR
As a longtime reviewer of Canon's all-in-one devices, we feel obliged to warn our readers about the company's failure to update drivers for these devices as operating systems are updated. Canon simply doesn't feel obliged to update drivers to make its otherwise functional devices compatible with new releases of an operating system after an unusually short period.
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
Canon said the PIXMA G3290 and PIXMA G4280 are available for purchase now for $249.99 and $279.99, respectively. The PIXMA TS8820 is available for purchase for $299.99.
