Canon PIXMA TS3720: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Canon PIXMA TS3720 right for you?

The PIXMA TS3720 is a budget Canon inkjet all-in-one that ranked among Amazon US's 20 best-selling printers in September 2026, and its close relatives lead the charts elsewhere: the PIXMA TS3750i in the UK and the PIXUS TS3730 in Japan both ranked first in their markets at the same time. Australia sells a related TS3660. It is a basic print, scan and copy machine for homes that print occasionally, such as school forms, tickets and the odd photo. Canon's US launch date and detailed specs for this exact model were not confirmed when this page was written, so those fields are blank. Treat it as a light-use printer rather than a daily workhorse.

Best for: Occasional home printing on the smallest possible budget

Setting up the Canon PIXMA TS3720

Canon's PIXMA wireless setup starts at ij.start.canon or in the Canon PRINT app, which walks you through joining Wi-Fi. If the connection fails, the usual causes are a VPN running on the phone or the printer being too far from the router. Install the cartridges before running the alignment, and load plain letter paper for the test page. On a computer, download the full driver and scanning utility rather than relying on the basic built-in driver. Confirm the cartridge numbers printed on the starter cartridges before ordering ink.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Canon's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Canon PIXMA TS3720 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Canon FINE cartridges, black and color (confirm the PG/CL numbers on the starter cartridges)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
