Overview

The Canon PIXMA TS3522 is a pragmatic answer to the home printing problem — a compact, wireless all-in-one that handles the everyday mix of document printing, quick copies, and occasional photo output without demanding counter space or technical expertise. For households that print a handful of pages a week — school assignments, boarding passes, forms, the odd 4x6 snapshot — the TS3522 covers the use case cleanly. The 4800 x 1200 dpi ceiling is more than sufficient for sharp document text, and photo output on compatible paper holds up well for snapshot-sized prints.

Connectivity is the TS3522's strongest practical feature: Wi-Fi setup is guided and fast, and the Canon PRINT app enables direct mobile printing from iOS and Android without routing through a PC. The 1.5-inch segment LCD keeps the interface simple, if not elegant, and the overall footprint is genuinely compact for an all-in-one. Where the design shows its entry-level positioning is in paper capacity (60-sheet maximum) and the absence of auto-duplex — limitations that become apparent if your printing habits grow beyond casual household use. For what it's designed to do, however, it does it reliably.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Wi-Fi connectivity and mobile printing support make this genuinely cable-free for everyday household printing tasks across multiple devices.
  • 4800 x 1200 dpi maximum resolution produces sharp, clean output for both documents and snapshot-size photo prints.
  • Compact footprint fits comfortably on a desk or shelf — doesn't dominate a home office or small workspace.
  • All-in-one print, copy, and scan functionality covers the full range of everyday home document needs in a single unit.
  • Simple setup process and Canon PRINT app support reduce the technical friction of getting connected on a new network.

👎 Cons

  • The 50–60 sheet paper capacity means frequent refills for anyone printing more than a few pages at a sitting — not suited to moderate-volume document work.
  • Print speed of 7.7 ipm for black-and-white drops noticeably for color pages — patience is required for multi-page color documents.
  • The 1.5-inch segment LCD display is functional but minimal — navigating copy settings or checking ink levels feels clunky compared to touchscreen alternatives.
  • No automatic duplex (double-sided) printing — every two-sided document requires manually flipping the stack.
  • The variable maximum aperture of the ink cartridge system means per-page costs rise quickly if you print photos frequently without XL cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions

The TS3522 connects via Wi-Fi — no Bluetooth required. Setup is handled through Canon's PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app or the printer's guided wireless setup, which walks you through connecting to your home network. USB is also available as a wired fallback.
7.7 images per minute (ipm) is the rated black-and-white print speed under standard conditions — color speeds will be lower. For a home printer handling letters, school assignments, and occasional photos, this is adequate. It's not a speed you'd choose for high-volume office printing.
4800 x 1200 dpi is the interpolated maximum resolution — fine detail in photos will render cleanly on Canon photo paper. For standard document printing, the resolution far exceeds what's perceptible. Photo output quality depends substantially on paper type; use Canon-branded photo paper for best color accuracy.
The input tray holds up to 60 sheets of plain paper. The printer supports standard letter and legal sizes, as well as photo paper in 4x6 and other common sizes.
The TS3522 uses Canon CL-246 (color) and PG-245 (black) ink cartridges. Standard cartridges are widely available and modestly priced; XL versions offer better per-page cost for higher-volume users.
