Is the G4280 worth it over a cartridge printer?

If you print regularly, yes. The included ink bottles cover thousands of pages, so the higher upfront cost is recovered through much cheaper pages. Light printers may not print enough to benefit.

Does it print double-sided automatically?

Yes. It has automatic duplex printing, so you can print on both sides without flipping pages by hand.

Can it scan and copy multi-page documents?

Yes. The flatbed scanner is joined by a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for multi-page scans and copies.

Does it work with phones and tablets?

Yes. It supports Wi-Fi and Apple AirPrint, so you can print from iOS and Android devices without a computer.

What comes in the box?

The printer, a full set of ink bottles, power cord and setup documentation. A USB cable is generally not included.

How many pages can it print on one set of ink?

Canon rates a full bottle set at about 6,000 black and 7,700 color pages, depending on what you print.
