So you need a multifunction printer

Check one of these out. All of them are wireless, work with Google Docs as well as Apple's AirPrint technology. Finally, Canon has their own app for iOS or Android to print photos.

Canon MG 8220 MG 6220 and MG 5320...

This article covers them all.

Also note that ALL newer PIXMA wireless printers will get an update to support AirPrint. Awesome.

Having had personal experience with the canon PIXMA line of products (our family has the now older MP950) i can't recommend them enough. It does an awesome job for whatever you throw at it and 2 or 3 years later (i forget) we've had no problems. I can't say that for any other brand printer we've had over the years.

Ill update this page with more details such as the difference between the models at a later date. So far only thing I've noticed is only the higher end 8220 and 6220 support newer (therefore larger, like 32 or 64gb) SDXD memory cards.

Also, some people may need an auto sheet feeder or fax machine, in that case check this guy out. (these should get the AirPrint upgrade)

There is a cheaper MX420, but it seems its worth the extra money to get the MX882
