Very good for the money and very economical printing. The connection to Wi-Fi is indeed a bit difficult as others say, but once it’s done, it works. The printing speed is satisfactory. For someone who wants simple use and not to print 100 pages a day, it’s just fine. Compared to a Pixma G6040, it is quite slower in printing, but it is also a completely different category. I also think it’s good that the print heads (one color and one black) are very easily removable, so if one breaks, you just change the head and not the whole machine!
Stay away, do not choose it. It constantly loses its connection to the wireless network. For some reason, it seems to go inactive. You have to go and turn it off and turn it back on. It takes a long time to receive a print command.
Very economical in printing, it has cheap inks, I have printed 100 pages so far and the ink level hasn't even moved. I have no issues with interruptions or disconnections from the wifi. (I do have fiber optic) easy to set up. as soon as I turn it on, it connects directly to the wifi. fast in printing.
Purchased last October for moderate use in the office. On the positive side, very good print quality, and quite fast. So far, it hasn't needed ink, so it seems to be quite economical. On the negative side, it absolutely refuses to connect to wifi - we've been trying since day one, but it categorically refuses, no matter what we do. The user instructions and websites are not particularly helpful.
Reasonable price for the type of technology of the printer (ink tank), very good prints for home office or personal needs (I do not know about the quality of photo prints on special paper). Beautiful printer, unique in a sense (I got the 'pink' version that really beautifies the space).
Since you connect the printer via wifi, I would say that the provided software is somewhat 'slow' during use as there is quite a delay from the moment of the 'command' to its execution. Once the job starts, the printing speed is satisfactory.
The only drawback, but not so insignificant and in some cases crucial, is the very poor implementation of the wifi (perhaps this is also the reason for the delays I mentioned earlier), resulting in it working well (i.e., without interruptions and reconnections - as other users reported) only when it is within breathing distance from the corresponding wifi router/wifi AP (in my case, one meter away and without any obstacles in between - wall or some machines).
I had to move the wifi adapter a bit further away (to an adjacent room and about 3 meters away) and immediately the wifi reception quality dropped to 42-46-50% depending on the alternative positions I had available. Unacceptable for me since it operates at 2.4GHz. That's why there is a minus 1 star in the rating.
This drawback makes the purchase almost prohibitive if you want to work wirelessly and not via USB cable (which is not provided) and there is no possibility to place the printer next to or very close to the router/wifi AP.
P.S. Great care for users to always move the printer in a horizontal position and not as we might have been used to with older printers with cartridges because in this one (ink tank) there is a risk of ink spilling outside its container! I mention this because someone may not have read the relevant comment in the user manual.
Year 2024: I can flush the toilet via Wi-Fi, but to print on the G3430 I have to move the printer next to the router and reinstall the drivers. The result? Every time I waste time and patience to print 5 pages. Canon should also provide the cable, as that's the only way I can print without hassle.
I received it today. It has drained my soul! For the past two hours, I've been trying to print 22 certificates for my students! Sometimes it sees the wifi, sometimes it doesn't. Again and again, I have to make the connection between the computer and the printer. In the meantime, it leaves many prints halfway (see the attached photo) and I have wasted paper and ink without results. Unacceptable!
I am very satisfied with the Canon G3430 printer! It is very easy to use, as it also functions as a scanner. One of the biggest advantages is that you save a lot of money on ink, thanks to the tank system it has, which offers greater autonomy and lower cost per print. When using high-quality paper for photos, the printed quality is really good. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and economical printer!
So far, I am very satisfied with both the documents and the photos it produces. The connection to the home Wi-Fi is very easy, the whole family installed the Canon app on their phones and we print without any issues. The inks don't seem to drop from the initial level. I will return with positive and negative comments in the future.
Economical, relatively fast (depending of course on the resolution you want). Good machine. VFM! Its operating system is a bit strange if you're used to HP but you can get used to it!
My experience with the Canon Pixma G3430 was excellent. The prints are fast and the performance is outstanding for everyday printing. What impressed me the most is the quality of the photos printed with this printer. The images come out with vibrant colors and high resolution, just as I would expect from a professional photo lab. It is user-friendly and the Wi-Fi connection with my mobile makes it even more practical for daily use. I am absolutely satisfied and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality prints without a high cost!
I have also made a presentation on my profile; you can see the related videos!
The Canon Pixma G3430 multifunction printer is an excellent choice for home use. The print quality is amazing; if you print on photo paper, you can hardly tell the difference from a regular photo. Also, the build quality is excellent for around €130.
The genuine Canon inks are permanent and they dry instantly!!!
A set of inks (1x Black and 1x Cyan/Magenta/Yellow) costs about €35 and you can print 6,000 - 7,000 color pages!!!
On the downside, the Wi-Fi setup is not very easy and it doesn't have drivers for Linux.
**Update
You can actually print normally through Linux just via CUPS. The process is simple and easy! (The printer model appears as g3030)
Attention!
If you print a photo on plain paper, without a border, it will come out faint...

Review after 6 months of use: Very good printer, fast and easy to use. After installation (I watched a video on YouTube), every time you turn it on, it automatically connects to Wi-Fi and you can print either from the computer or from your phone via the app. The ink cartridges can last 3-4 years with normal use. Also, it doesn't require any specific brand, just the same colors, and it's very cheap to refill them.
