And scanners, and a photo printer
Canon has announced a veritable slew of new printers and scanners, including the new Pixma range, two CanoScan and the Selphy Cp800 photo printer.

"As well as their home computer or laptop, the new PIXMA range also allows users to print directly from a number of devices, including iPhone, Android devices or the PlayStation 3," adds Canon.
The range starts from £59 for the MP280 and moves right up to the MG8150 which is priced at £329. There is also the new iP4850 prices at £99. The UK release date for all the printers is given as October 2010.

"CanoScan LiDE 210 and CanoScan LiDE 110 offer crisp and clear scanning at significantly higher speeds, stated Canon.
"CanoScan LiDE 110 has reduced the A4 300 dpi scanning time to approximately 16 seconds compared to 24 seconds for the LiDE 100, whilst the CanoScan LiDE 210 has reduced it to approximately 10 seconds compared to 14 seconds for the LiDE 200."
