    In the market for new printer - anybody got one recently?

    Hi, I need to replace my Canon printer as I am finding it a mammoth task to find a printer which matches:

    1. Price range - £80
    2. Inkjet 3 in 1
    3. WiFi
    4. Most important - works with Canon Debian printer drivers supplied by Canon

    I have spent hours checking online and am hoping somebody has a good experience so they can help shorten my search.

    I look for Canon only because I have used them for many years but will change to another manufacturer if someone has a great experience recently.

    Tia

    Here is a bad experience. I purchased an Epson ET-15000 all-in-one ink jet printer. They only supply printer drivers for Microsoft Windows. The printer driver they show for Linux (Ubuntu) only gave me 8 1/2" X 11" printout. It would not give me an 11" X 17" printout. Epson told me I would have to find a driver. The reason I went with the Epson printer was because of the ink tank concept. If you only print A4 size paper and don't mind the cartridges then I would stick with the Cannon products. I had a Cannon ink jet printer that would handle wide paper, but because of non usage the ink in the mechanism dried up and it was no longer usable.

    I still use an old HP Laserjet 2100M from decades ago. It uses long life dry toner cartridge rather than expensive ink jets.

    Decided to try Canon PIXMA TS5350i as I am in rather a hurry

    In the past Canon drivers have worked so I hope the ones for this printer do also. If not it either goes back or I use it with windows
