We have carried a Canon MP for many years (started when the coach was my mobile office). Until I had to put in a bigger inverter to run other things, I used to run the printer on a 60 watt plug in inverter and it was not even really modified square wave. Ink jet use very little power.

Do try it before you have to run it on the inverter you chose. I have had problems with switching power supplies on inverters, it is rare, but it does happen.
