It is stated to have networking capabilities as well, but again, details are slim.

Canon has added three wireless printers to its PIXMA All-in-One inkjet printer line – the PIXMA MG7520, MG6620, and MG5620 printers. Each of the new models works will Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint web app for cloud-connected printing. Additionally, the PIXMA Printing Solutions app allows users to print from popular social platforms and services like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Photobucket, Dropbox and Evernote.

The top-end MG7520 offers a 3.5″ LCD touchscreen and includes Active NFC, which allows users with compatible Android devices to print by touching the device to the printer. The MG6620 offers Passive NFC that allows similar functionality if the device is connected to the same network as the printer.

The PIXMA MG7520, MG6620, and MG5620 printers retail for $199.99, $149.99 and $99.99.
