What Ink Does the Canon PIXMA TS3322 Use?

by Last Updated:

The Canon PIXMA TS3322 is a compact wireless all-in-one inkjet that uses two cartridges: Canon PG-275 black and CL-276 tri-color (cyan, magenta, yellow). Standard and XL high-yield versions are available so you can balance ink cost against print volume.

Ink Cartridges at a Glance

Cartridge Color Yield Options
PG-275 Black Standard, XL
CL-276 Tri-color Standard, XL

The PG-275/CL-276 cartridge family is also used by other Canon PIXMA models including the TS3520, TS6420, TR4720, and TR4722. If you own multiple printers in this family you can stock the same cartridges.

Save on PG-275 and CL-276 Ink

Castle Ink offers compatible PG-275 and CL-276 cartridges at significant savings versus OEM with matching page yields. Shop PG-275 black or browse CL-276 tri-color for your TS3322.

How to Replace Ink in the Canon PIXMA TS3322

  1. Power on the printer and open the front cover; the cartridge holder slides to the access position.
  2. Press down on the empty cartridge and pull it forward out of its slot.
  3. Unwrap the new cartridge and remove the orange protective tape covering the contacts.
  4. Insert the cartridge at an angle and press up until it clicks securely into place.
  5. Close the front cover and let the printer run a print head alignment if prompted.

Troubleshooting Tips

Cartridge not recognized: Remove the cartridge, wipe its gold contacts and the print head with a lint-free cloth, and reseat firmly.

Faded or streaky prints: Run a print head cleaning from Setup > Maintenance. Repeat up to three times before swapping cartridges.

Low ink warning that won't clear: Hold the Stop button for at least five seconds to acknowledge low-ink alerts and continue printing.

One color missing in prints: Because CL-276 is a tri-color cartridge, if one color runs out you'll need to replace the whole cartridge to restore color printing.
