Canon PIXMA MG2551S Series – All-in-One A4 Printers, Copier & Scanner for Home Use | USB Connectivity Only, No WiFi Connection | Energy Efficient Printer Home Printers

WARNING: CONNECTION CABLE NOT INCLUDED!!!! Do not purchase!
I was EXTREMELY disappointed to discover upon setting this printer up that it does not come with the connection cable needed to plug it into your computer! And as it does not support a wireless connection, it is absolutely USELESS until I can find and purchase the right cable needed to make it work.I am frankly astounded that a product can be sold without the VITAL part to make it actually function. I am actually in awe of this as I expected far more from a company like Canon. It is possible that it works just fine and is deserving of more stars, but as there is no way for it to function the way it was delivered to me this product deserves ZERO STARS in my opinion. Yet another disappointing Amazon purchase. I am just about done buying anything from here anymore as there is always something off!Irony is, I cant even return it without printing a label so still need to go buy a connection cable somewhere else if I even want to attempt returning it. HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?!(also, I never ever write amazon reviews, even when I don’t like a product, so the fact that I felt the need to come and warn other future buyers is a strong statement coming from me.)NEW EDIT: Printer also does not support dual-sided printing (even though it says in the product info that it can) and I will not give me the option to choose black-and-white over color when printing a document with color photos.

Installation was a nightmare!
I was warned before buying this printer that I would need a USB cable to connect the printer with my computer, and that I would need a disk drive for the drivers. No problem, I had those. Unfortunately, I could not install the drivers using the disk provided. For some reason, the process kept failing, telling me that the computer was not connected to the printer, even though it was, and there was nothing wrong with my USB cable (it worked just fine with the scanner I was replacing). I spent hours over it, in tears. I could not get the driver to install.Well, I tried again today. First, I uninstalled everything. Then I found the appropriate drivers online, downloaded them, and installed them. Everything worked perfectly this time, got it up and running. It’s a nice little printer for the price. But if you buy, do yourself a favour and download the drivers, do not use the disk, I reckon there was something wrong with it.Edit: I’ve been using this for a few days, and I have to say, I am very glad I managed to install this printer as I am very happy with it. The quality of the scanning is way better than the scanner I was replacing. My old scanner couldn’t cope with scanning from a book, there’d be odd little shadows all over the scan. Even a book with spiral binding where the pages laid mostly flat on the scanning surface. The scans produced by this printer are beautifully clean in comparison. The printing is very nice too. Not as nice as a laser printer, but still very clean and clear.So I suppose I do recommend this product. But do not attempt to install the drivers using the disk provided. I can’t emphasise that enough.

Lead not included!
Was initially pleased with the price ect of this canon printer. I have had canon printers before and they have always been great for printing papers or photos. The printer comes with a disc that helps to load the driver to your computer or laptop. Since many laptops don’t come with DVDR slots, and you can get the driver data via download, this seems superfluous. However there was a problem that could have been avoided.Unfortunately the printer didn’t come with a cable to attach the printer to the laptop. I could understand this if the printer was Bluetooth enabled but it isn’t. You need the cable for it to work! Why buy a printer that won’t work without a specific cable. I have had to purchase the additional cable to make this printer work.Surely Canon could have removed the unnecessary disc and replaced it with the cable which is necessary. Money pinching tactics that are ridiculous.I purchased this for my daughter for university. University is expensive. There is a cost of living crisis and Canon have made a printer that is useless without a cable that wasn’t supplied with the machine. Very disappointing

Don’t waste your time
I would not recommend this printer. Canon used to be good, but not this one. Several things to point out. This is cheap and clunky. I can’t tell you about the quality as I couldn’t get it to work. The software was a worry. It changed the setting on my computer, so when I turned the computer on It asked me to sign in. The disk would not load fully. Stated that it recognised the printer and to wait until set up had finished, then stated it couldn’t recognise the printer.

Todo correcto! A pesar que la caja ha llegado un poco estropeada la impresora viene muy bien protegida entre placas de espuma gruesa, la instalación a través del CD es rápida e intuitiva, el funcionamiento perfecto, impresión de calidad. La recomiendo

Ein bis jetzt wirklich super funktionierender Drucker,die Einrichtung ist sowas von einfach,USB Kabel mit dem PC verbinden Patronen ins Gerät stecken und fertig,das Drucken kann losgehen.Sehr gutes Farb und Schwarz-Weiß drucken ist mit dem Canon möglich ohne weitere Einstellungen.Wer ein unkompliziertes Gerät sucht und nicht mit WLAN herum experimentieren will ist mit diesen Drucker genau richtig bedient.Achtung das passende USB Druckerkabel ist nicht im Lieferumfang dabei,kostet im Zubehör aber nur 4-7 Euro.Der Canon ist von mir aus uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!!
