• When we bought the Canon MG3250 printer we were told it would take separate cartridges. Is that true or false please? Neil.

  Canon MG3250 cartridge type

  This would depend on your definition of separate cartridges. The Canon Pixma MG3250 printer does use a separate black and colour cartridge. However, the colour cartridge is a combined cyan / magenta / yellow cartridge so it's a tri-colour cartridge. Some printers have separate cartridges for all four colours (black, cyan, magenta and yellow). The Canon Pixma MG3250 printer has separate cartridge for black and tri-colour.

• Hi, I have a Pixma MG3250 printer and need to change the ink. I would like to know if my printer takes the PG-540XL cartridge or do I have to stick to the standard PG-540 ink cartridge. Also, what's the difference between the two apart from more printing?

  Canon MG3250 ink selection

  The Canon Pixma MG3250 printer can use either the standard capacity black Canon PG-540 ink cartridge or the high capacity black Canon PG-540XL ink cartridge. The only difference between these two cartridges is the amount of ink they contain.

• I already have a Canon MG2150 printer with the cartridges PG 540 and CL 541. If I get a Canon MG3250 printer, can I use the same PG540 and CL541 cartridges in both machines? Or the PG545 and CL546 for the MG3250 in both machines?

  Canon MG3250 ink for use in MG2150

  We currently list the same set of ink cartridges for both the Canon Pixma MG3250 and Canon Pixma MG2150 printers so they are interchangeable. These printers can use any of the cartridges listed on this page including the PG-540 black cartridge and CL-541 tri-colour cartridge. You can also use a PG-540XL high capacity black cartridge or a CL-5241XL high capacity tri-colour cartridge in either of these machines. However, the Canon PG-545 and CL-546 ink cartridges aren't compatible with the MG3250 or MG2150 printer models so these supplies won't work in either machine. We advise you to order ink from the correct printer page on our website by searching for the correct model number to avoid ordering the incorrect cartridges, even if the cartridges are cross-compatible with another machine.

• I can't get my Canon MG3250 printer to work. It's asking me to hold down the WPS button. What is that? Is it on the computer or the internet connector?

  Canon Pixma MG3250 printer troubleshooting

  The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button is found on a router and is used to configure security settings on a wireless network. We suggest that you contact Canon directly for help with netowrk connections or any error messages that don't relate to Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges.

• Can Canon ink cartridges PG-37 and CL-38 be used in the Canon Pixma MG3250 printer?

  No, the PG37 and CL-38 ink cartridges aren't compatible with this printer. For the Canon Pixma MG3250 you need to use the cartridges specified on this page which includes a black cartridge numbered PG-540 or PG-540XL and a tri-colour cartridge numbered CL-541 or CL-541XL.

• I can't find any details on the length of the guarantee on my Canon MG3250 printer purchased from a high street retailer. I have a receipt that includes the guarantee with instructions to keep in case of any problems but no time is given. Is it one or two years?

  Canon MG3250 printer guarantee

  Sorry, you'll need to check with the retailer who sold you your Canon Pixma MG3250 printer as to the length of their guarantee. We only supply the Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges and offer a one year guarantee on these products. However, the length of the guarantee on the printer might vary depending on where it was purchased so you really need to check with the seller.

• There are reports that the Pixma MG3250 printer can't display ink levels if re-manufactured PG540XL and CL541XL cartridges are used instead of genuine Canon products. Is this a problem with Cartridge Save ink cartridges?

  Canon MG3250 ink levels

  Yes, as with any compatible cartridge on the market, a slight drawback of using a compatible Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridge can be that the ink levels aren't always reported accurately by the printer. However, this shouldn't affect your ability to use up all of the ink within your Cartridge Save compatible Canon Pixma MG3250 cartridge.

• Keep asking the same question without getting an answer. I DO NOT USE COLOUR but do I have to install a colour cartridge? Can I put BLACK ONLY cartridges in? Please do not refer me to the information page as even this page does NOT answer my question without pages of hassle.

  Can I ONLY use black ALL BLACK cartridges?

  Sorry you are having issues. Unfortunately printers that have a slot for a black cartridge and a colour cartridge do need to have both cartridges in to work. Two black cartridges would not work.
