Canon Pixma MG2560

Lously printer – Three years ago I purchased the printer, I have had a good run with Cannon printers in the past but this one has disappointed me as it no longer accepts new inks so the unit is completely useless. I have purchased inks for it but it still refuses to accept them. I have been told by a computer expert to replace it. Not happy cannon.

The printer is ok. But you'd think they'd include a usb cable – The printer is ok. But you'd think they'd include a usb cable, especially if it doesn't have wifi or ethernet connectivity

Worst product I have ever bought – It is just impossible to install. I have spent 4+ hours. I have used the CD which came with it, I have downloaded the driver off the web, etc. I have used two different, brand new printers (same barnd, of course) and three different laptops. Four hours spent trying to print out two pages is ridiculous. This product is evil. Show details

Great little printer – I have had this printer for serveral years. It's not designed for any volume printing but it works well for printing and scanning. I did have some problems connecting when Windows did an update but it was fine once I downloaded drivers again. Adobe updates have also caused some problems. Ink is more expensive than a new printer which is always… Read more

the case wtih these small units. Similar to other reviews, I am now only looking at replacing as paper feed is faulty. Something to look out for if purchasing 2nd hand.

There is nothing wrong with this printer – Had this printer working well. Got new PC running windows 11 had trouble getting printer to function.I had to download driver through Microsoft search, then access scanner in the same way as it did not load at same time. Also took 2 weeks of pain to find that printer would not work until I turned it on before I turned on PC. My old PC ran printer… Read more

no matter when I turned it on. This could be the reason some people have issues new Windows not printer

Great basic printer, copier, scanner – I have owned three of these printers over the years. The most recent two were bought on sale from the Good Guys for $15 each and both came with cord and printer ink! The first two lasted about 5 years each but eventually the paper grabbers (technical term) started playing up. I just installed my third one today. Easy. Prints, copies and scans… Read more

really well. They have never jammed. Only fault I could find is that I could only scan one page at a time by laying it on the flatbed. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it can can do multiple pages - just need to read the instructions. I believe MG2560 discontinued now. Superceded by MG3060. Let's hope it is just as good.

absolute rubbish – The printer cost about $60 so I wasn't expecting a Rolls Royce. The toners cost $75. I have been unable to make this piece of rubbish do anything beyond increase my blood pressure. I imagine it probably prints OK but, after about 12 hours, I still have no idea how to insert the overpriced toners and, in any event, that wouldn't matter because… Read more

my laptop and my desktop cannot access the relevant drivers. More fool me. I will never bed silly enough to by a Canon product again.

Big piece of rubbish returning for refund – Picks up non or all of the paper, software wont install correctly so no scanning function. Returning for a refund tomorrow morning, don't waste your time and monies on this unit Show details

worst printer ever made – scanning is a joke printing is below average. not even worth it as a paper weight sucks i just wanna throw it against a wall over it

Horrible – This is the worst printer I have ever used. So difficult to change settings. Cannot even scan in pdf. When I went to rate it there was no 0 star option. The only good thing about this printer is that I'm going to throw it away.

Canon MG SERIES – Hello,i have owned 2 of the MG series, and i am annoyed at myself for not learning lessons from the first. The last MG2560 has been plagued with problems. You cant print once the black cartridge runs out, then when you replace that it will only print in Colour.You cannot manually overide settings. If i print off emails the left side is "cropped",… Read more

not allowing the full page.I had a return sticker emailed to me and no mater what i tried the barcode will not read.Waste of money. Also often it will not delete a previous print Que, it tries to reprint prior documents although you delete them.I will step up and spend more on another brand.Honestly printers were better 15 years ago.Stephen Y.

Got this on sale and am very happy with it – Have had this for a while now and have not had any major issues with it (like many printers I've had in the past!) If you have an issues just press the Stop button for about 10 seconds and it resets it.

MG 2560 is worst printer I have ever bought – I bought this printer from my local Betta store when I urgently needed to print some documents because my previous printer had died. Not having a cable was no problem as I already owned one. However right from the first printing it had trouble with the paper feed but as I really needed a printer I coaxed it to work. And from that time on there has… Read more

been an ongoing problem with the paper feed. Now the printer has gone one better and frozen in the middle of photocopying and refuses to work at all, nor be repaired using the onscreen repair manual. As for print quality, I didn't really get many copies out of it before it completely died. So it will be a new printer for me as this one is going in the bin!

Just bought this Canon MG2560 – Have only just setup this MG2560 and it works a treat. Was given good instructions from the seller including the fact that it did not come with a USB cable but had one on hand. I noticed all the negative reviews and most were to the effect that it did not come with a USB cable - cant they read or don't they look at what they are buying. To get a… Read more

printer for $50 is amazing when you consider it had to be designed,manufactured,sent on a container ship from wherever,sent to the wholesaler,retailer and everybody had to have a profit - all for 50 bucks - a round of beers cost more than that. Some people don,t know when theyre well off. Great printer Canon keep the good work up.

Idiots at Canon – Bought the printer - just cheap and easy to do infrequent work Got out of the box and installed only to find it needs a USB A to B cable. Which isn’t supplied And I don’t have one Absolutely stupid. Will never buy canon again Show details

bad labelling!!! – why the hell would you sell a product without the required cable and presume people already should have it. your customer care is terrible, boycott cannon. never buying from again and telling all my friends to avoid this company. Show details

NO USB CABLE – Why on gods green earth would an item be sold without the equipment it needs to work? This was a total waste of time and money. SO ANGRYYYYY and very UPSET. Show details

good for the price – Purchased a floor model that had no cable, no CD, no ink cartridges and no box that they come in. Bought cartridges and connected to my computer with no real problems. Had the connecting cable all he rest was on line. Works better then I expected both printer and scanner, only miss the wifi. Show details

Cant use – I needed to purchase some urgent docs, so I race out grab a new printer and go home to connect and print. WRONG - It's cant wirelessly connect and there's no cable supplied............... I can't believe that any company could supply and item such as a printer that is inoperable. VERY DISAPPOINTED........the stores are now closed and i have an early flight meaning those urgent docs wont be printed. Show details

Hard to connect!! – No USB cable. Yes it was stated in the box but should have easier way to connect even without USB cable. The online manual doesn’t help much. CD doesn’t help too when you don’t have CD player Show details

Junk pile – Bought this after boxing day sale. Wasted hours trying to connect to wifi as called salesperson who told me usb cable was not necessary as you only had to push 2 buttons at the same time to get wifi. What a load of rubbish. Now have to travel 65ks to the shop to get a usb cable. What a ripoff, that they don't include it and increase the price. Would not recommend at all Show details

Cheap and easy to use – Purchased this off Joyce Mayne for over $20. Was informed it did not come with a USB cable which was no problem as I had quite a few at home. Very easy to set up and the print quality was excellent. As previously stated here, the replacement cartridges are very expensive, so when my cartridges ran out I simply went back to Joyce Mayne and paid $20 for another Canon MG2560 which, again, came with cartridges. Show details

love it – very good printer it prints fast very good the best you should buy and it does cost must money if you thinking off buying one its good does jam every one get one I love it I buy it for my kids and they like it its good good good  Show details

Doesn't come with USB B to A cable – I am yet to use the printer as it doesn't come with everything needed to get started. The side of the box does state in small print that the USB cable is not included. However, it does not say that there is absolutely no way to connect the printer without it. Extremely poor form. Hopefully, once I have found someone with the correct cable and get set up I have a quality budget printer.  Show details

Canon Pixma MG2560 – I bought this to replace an old printer. Works perfectly fine. Not expensive but prints good quality documents and easy to use as well. Came with the ink cartridge as well and good thing is it only has two cartridges. Software suite is a good versatile collection of user friendly options. Overall a very good device for the price we pay for.  Show details

Good for the price – It was cheap at the post office. On the top of the box it said 'USB cable not included', on the side of the box it said ;USB cable not included', the list of contents on the outside of the box did not show a USB cable. I was not surprised to not find one. Set up was easy, print quality is good and it is good value. Bit of a pain to be liited to one copy at a time when not connected to the computer.  Show details

Excellent Budget Printer – I bought this model from Harvey Norman for $17- as well as a HP printer costing more. I didn't use the Cannon as I bought it as a spare($17). After using the HP for some time and becoming fed up with the quality of printing and the drivers always being faulty or missing (software), I decided to try the MG2560. The quality of color printing is… Read more

exceptional, and I would suggest if you would like to find the most intricate color page you can find and print that page. Mine was missing a cable for which I had a spare so for me it wasn't an issue. Try printing a color page and you will be totally astonished at the quality. If you don't have a cable, trust me and go buy one, you have a little miracle waiting to come to life in your MG2560
