Each model works easily with the PIXMA Printing Solutions2 application and the new mobile-friendly Canon Easy-PhotoPrint+3 web application, which provide easy solutions for cloud-connected printing as well as for the editing and personalization of treasured photos. PPS provides direct access to the cloud from compatible printers, mobile devices and tablets. With little effort, users can print and scan images and documents from several of the most popular online social platforms and services such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Photobucket, Dropbox, Evernote, Creative Park and Creative Park Premium, along with the newly supported Google DriveTM and Microsoft OneDrive. With PPS, users can also check ink model number information, online printer user manuals and other important printer information. Enhancing the cloud capabilities of these new printers is Easy-PhotoPrint+. This free web-based application provides users access to photos from their local drive or social platforms to create a large variety of editing options on different mediums, including photo prints, collages, calendars, cards, layouts and stickers. With Easy-PhotoPrint+, accessible on mobile devices and computers (PC and Mac), users can start and save projects on one device and complete them later on another device. Additionally, PictBridge5 (Wireless LAN) functionality allows select Canon digital cameras to connect directly to the printer - eliminating the need for a computer. With Access Point Mode, users can also connect their compatible mobile device to their PIXMA printers directly through Wi-Fi without connecting to a router.
