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

Easy to set up & works absolutely fine. Great price too. If you're buying please note the printer doesn't connect via WIFI it's USB only & a USB cable is not included. Although this is plainly stated I've seen several reviewers grumbling about it!

Perfect After reading a few reviews, I was expecting to have a slightly difficult set up. Nope! I connected the printer to my desktop with the wire I purchased with it (less than £4) put the ink in, easy. The computer recognised the printer, I printed right away. Not to loud. I downloaded the scanner app, this took a couple of minutes and the scanner was ready. Great price. Delivered next day. No need for the CD. If you are looking for a cheaper office / occasion use printer. This one is great.

Great little printer for the extremely cheap price, complete with ink. HOWEVER only 4 stars because the drivers are so crap. I had the detection issues others have reported. What worked for me (Win10 64bit) was to go to the website and download NOT the proffered specific ones for my OS, but the pack at the bottom of the list with drivers for all OSs. I then ran the .exe, but cancelled the Canon install after extracting the drivers. Then I used the built in manual Windows printer installer and chose Have Disk and pointed it at the extracted Driver folder. All worked well then. Now it's installed the print quality etc is great and perfect for my requirements. Very happy overall.

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.

Arrived well packaged. As clearly stated, this model doesn't come with the necessary usb connection lead, which you'll need to purchase separately if you don't already have one. Unpacking and preparing the unit is simple and is explained by a diagram sheet. Once the power is switched on, fit the two ink cartridges and then enter the supplied Instalation CD into your laptop/pc and follow the installation instructions. The unit requires an alignment test, and a print test before use...the onscreen directions are clear to follow. Print quality is as good as my previous model PIXMA MP230 model, and colours are clear and well defined; though I haven't tested with gloss/photo paper with this model, previous experience with PIXMA photograph quality copying was excellent. I note some reviews found the unit quite noisy but, I've not found that to be the case, nor any issues with double sided printing as one review mentioned. It's easy to use and there's both an onscreen ''Quick Menu'' for basic usages and a more extensive onscreen manual which offers editing features and more detailed settings, as well as maintenance function controls. Overall it's good value and meets most if not all home use needs. My PIXMA MP230 lasted 13 years of regular use, and I've no reason to expect any less of the PIXMA MG2551S.

The printer itself is brilliant quality and the actual software layout is clear and easy to use despite its slightly dated look. On the other hand, the fact that the printer doesn't come with a cable to connect it to the computer is a bit silly. Thankfully, I had one but it was a bit of a hassle and I could imagine not many people have that specific cable lying around their house. The fact that you also need a disk drive when lots of laptops these days don't even come with one is quite inconsiderate of modern technology. I understand that the printer is a more budgeted one, but there should be a software download online within easy access for the user so they can connect it to their laptop straight away. I would rate it lower than 3 myself, but considering I didn't have too many issues setting it up because I had all the hardware, I thought it was a fair rating. It still prints and scans well, and is an easy budget printer to get IF you have the right hardware!

great item

Incredible value all in one printer, I couldnt believe just how easy the set up and printing was, up and running within minutes. Drivers for Mac M4 downloaded no probs. Please note.... Not Wi-Fi.. usb cable only. Excellent purchase
