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

I purchased this printer as I had a few documents piling up on my computer that needed printing and I didn't fancy the risk of getting in trouble for using my dad's printer, I needed something simple and convenient without all the high tech bells and whistles that wouldn't break the bank and this looked to be the ideal one, especially as it was on sale for an incredible £19.99 down from £34.99 at the time of my purchase. However, with a measly rating of only 3.7 stars, I feared that it was too good to be true, however it turns out that the reason for the low rating was simply because some people can't read the description! 🫣 Needless to say, I'm very impressed with the overall performance of this printer and I'm glad that I purchased it as I was initially put off by the low rating and was about to buy a different Canon one for £40 instead, the main thing that you need to be aware of when purchasing is that the USB connection cable that's required to be able to print ISN'T included and you'll need to purchase it separately which of course it'd be better if it was included but it's such a non-issue as there's plenty of cables available to buy on here for as little as £3. I'd personally much rather spend a few extra pounds getting the cable rather than having to mess around trying to get a Wi-Fi printer to connect as speaking from experience, they're a pain to use! Alongside the printer, you get 2x free ink cartridges (Black & Colour) included which is a huge bonus and just adds to the superb value, again I'd much rather have to buy the cable than the ink separately. Unlike a lot of other modern printers which insist on forcing you into paying for subscriptions to get more ink when you run out, you can just buy new cartridges (which cost less than £20) for this printer as and when you need them which suits me a lot better as I'll only be using the printer on the odd occasion to print off documents and postage labels so I don't need to be tied down with a subscription that sends me new ink every month or so. You also get multiple instruction manuals and the driver installation disc so you can get everything set up straight away, the only downside that I could give this printer is that the installation disc is only compatible with Windows based computers, if you're a Mac user like me, you have to go on the Canon website and manually install the driver yourself but it's super easy to find and quick to download so it's not too big of a deal. The printer is very light, portable, relatively small sized and easy to store unlike most printers which are large, heavy, bulky and take up a lot of space, making it ideal for home users like me and students. The design is pretty basic and nothing particularly interesting to look at but it's very accessible as the paper simply sits in the top then comes out printed at the bottom which I think is much better than having to shove it all into a small drawer which doesn't always want to close and can easily break which then makes the printer unusable. There's also a built in copier and scanner at the top which just makes it even better and I'm sure it'll come in handy for me in the future. The initial set up was incredibly quick and easy, I'd got everything done (including the installation of the driver) and was printing in less than 15 minutes which I'd say is impressive for someone who usually struggles to set up appliances like this. The step by step picture instructions were clear and easy to follow and the driver installation on my Mac was rapid, I had absolutely no problems doing it and overall there's not really an awful lot that you need to do unlike a Wi-Fi printer which can take a frustratingly long time to get set up. I'm yet to print something off with pictures on it so I can see what the photo quality is like but the text document I printed looked clear, bold and decent quality, there was a few random ink marks but I'm not too concerned about this as it was my first print job and consisted of 24 pages. The printing process was pretty quick and quiet unlike my dad's HP printer which makes a horrendous amount of noise. Overall, I'm very pleased with this printer and highly recommend it, especially to those who just want a quick, fuss free, plug in and go printing experience. I've never used a printer that's been half as easy as this one and for only £20, the quality I got was fantastic, just remember to buy your connection cable and you're good to go!

Great item very satisfied many thanks

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.

What can I say, for this price you get a whole working printer with its ink included. You can tell that the case isn't high quality but you can't complain for this price since it still gets the job done. I only gave 4 starts for the sole reason being that the printer cable to connect to your PC/Laptop is not included. Other than that, great value for money. (There is a tutorial on YouTube that shows how to set it up which is pretty easy and straightforward.)

Bought this printer for about 30 quid over 1.5 year ago, mainly to print some documents on occasion, 2 ink cartridges were included, usb cable not included, but worries not, 2m cable goes for 5 quid, basic 1m for 3 quid, also purchased an additional black ink cartridge just in case if needed. Guess what, It's been over a 1.5 year, and those free cartridges does not dried out!!!!!!!!! Had HP printers before, if not used, cartridges drying out in about 3-5 months, but those CANON ones amazed me completely, will never go back to HP again!!! So if in doubts, if you go CANON and if need it just once a year, it's the best option you can choose, will save you a lot on money on cartridges, there is not any difference in print quality, all those cheap printers are about the same, what is really important to not overpay on ink cartridges, these ones goes for about 15 quid, and WILL NOT DRY OUT AT LEAST FOR A YEAR!!!!

Spent 3 hours trying to connect this printer, I don't have a disc slot on laptop so tried to online download, spent £4 on cable as not included, I had one of these years ago but WiFi and it connected straight away, I lost the will to live trying to get 1 sheet printed so returned it for refund,

Does not deserve all the bad reviews. Yes it is not Wi-Fi, but it does say it is not on product page and it does not come with USB cable and that should have been noted on product page for sure. I personally have lots of those cables all over the place but in this case I just unplugged old printer and plugged this one. For a bit less than replacing just the ink for my old printer I got this one and I have to say am very happy with the print quality and how easy it was to install it after following the instructions on my pc. Download driver and software from Canon site, Install, turn printer on and follow the steps.

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.

L'ho comprata di corsa perché la mia stampante sempre Canon che per me è una garanzia da tanti anni che uso solo questo brand. Purtroppo la mia vecchia stampante mi ha piantato in asso perché per risparmiare ho comprato le cartucce compatibili ecologiche quindi non originali per cui, queste cartucce mi hanno riempito il toner d'inchiostro e la riparazione costava di più rispetto a comprarne una nuova. Ho comprato questa nuova stampante che confermo ottima in tutto, perfetta e semplice da usare. Il cavo è incluso e tutto ben imballato. S'installa con il CD in pochi minuti senza fatica. Il venditore è stato eccellente, ha sollecitato la consegna più volte al corriere perché avevo urgenza per lavoro e per il disservizio del corriere che ha rimandato 3 volte la consegna per 1 giorno festivo di mezzo, il venditore mi ha rimborsato le spese di spedizione che anche essendo cliente Prime non erano incluse. Consigliatissimo sia la stampante che il venditore disponibilissimo a risolvere tutto in breve. Canon continua così che non ti cambierò mai ma mantieni sempre il cavo non mi piace wifi o altro, il cavo è più semplice r più stabile oltre che sicuro.

Einfach super danke sehr empfehlenswert

Een top printer

Bonne imprimante, petite et légère, livrée avec deux cartouches d'encre (noir et couleur) et le câble d'alimentation. Le câble USB n'est pas fourni. Facile à installer même sans utiliser le CD rom. Apparemment le rapport qualité prix est satisfaisant. De plus la livraison a été plus rapide que prévue

Très bien
