Quickly installed, good pressure, two criticisms ...

Over the (computer) years to wear out so yes some printer ... on time shortly after the arrival of the CANON PIXMA MG2550 showed my previous printers from Canon, a MX515, error code 6901 to (= would be reparariert, so dispose of) ... with great pleasure that there was spare and could be printed quickly. Thanks leaflet for initial setup The installation was simple: Useful, well presented, of course. At first I was pleased to see that the device is no longer black, but white is (dust ...), secondly, that it is "delicate" is in dimensions and thirdly a Papiernachfüllfach has top and an exit door below that does not protrude too far.

So far so good. If you go to the folder you just have the adhesive seals deduct, connect power cord, printer use (two in "normal size" are included), insert the CD and start the setup program. BUT (I knew only by previous reviews !!!) you need necessarily a printer-USB cable, as this CANON PIXMA MG 2550 yes can not Wi-Fi connection. Where do I get her now?!? I am not one of those people who have thousands of cables in stock. But I had to print and find a solution quickly. So the boxes for hours scour the basement (after relocation nor completely disordered ...) until I (was Brother thanks!) The old from my Brother printer was found. That Canon on the cable to besorgende not specifically advised (neither the description nor in the manual, I find annoying. What do I need to take a new device into operation at all, that should anyway be there !!! No ifs and but. Because sooo cheap, the printer is not because the printer cable should be included. For at least a half to one star deduction.

Of course, advisable before installing the new printer driver and software to uninstall the old appliance!

After installing a corner flashing appears in the top right corner both horizontally and vertically with icons to guide, info, Image Garden, Scan Gear, etc. Here it is worthwhile to cancel out the icons from the display, you will never need anyway. Then the display will look smaller :-) Basic info and off we can go ...

Printhead means was indeed interrogated and done after booting, then I made a s / w and a color copy. Result: razor-sharp, very satisfactory. Then I called my scanning program and settings such as document scanning, etc. set as a PDF at 300 dpi, display with program xyz as a fixed setting. The symbol for the scanner driver I had drawn by clicking the box in the corner of the two beams on the menu bar, because I constantly use. If one then clicks on the icon opens a very clear window in which you can enter its settings for scanning. This is all very much better resolved than in the more expensive model MX515! Amazing but true ...

Especially good on the printer I like that you can specify that it addresses automatically (in eintreffendem print command) and back off by itself (time adjustable)! This is really enjoyable because the standby operation of a printer a lot of power "swallows" - and so I can automatically avoid :-)

Second gripe is really just that the whole workmanship anmutet pretty "cheap" and not particularly durable (from the noise in operation until the enclosure). I'll resent how long lasted the joy ... !!

The ink cartridges in XL size are in the Combi Pack from 39 Euro as advantageous tender. For the price you get almost a new printer - absolutely overpriced and unrealistic. Therefore, there is another star deduction for equipment and running costs.

Otherwise, talk to me the size, the color, the operation and the print quality at the time of this Canon printer.

If there are short to complain about "failures", I will complete this review.

Supplement for one year: It prints still ;-) print quality is no longer so sharp, paper feed no problem (the printer have however always covered to prevent dust deposition in the openings).
