Is this the right printer for you?

Who the imageRUNNER iR C2550 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a small or mid-sized office of 5-15 people printing 1,500-5,000 pages a month, with maybe 20-40% color.
  • You need 11x17 and 12x18 — this is a true A3 device, not a letter/legal-only desktop MFP.
  • You need scan-to-email, scan-to-network folder, and walk-up copy with a 50-sheet DADF for multipage scanning (DADF-L1 is optional).
  • You're consolidating a separate copier, scanner, and printer into one device with a small footprint (22" x 30") that fits next to a desk.
  • You're inheriting an older C2550 install and want to keep it running — this is a long-EOL machine; supplies (GPR-26) are still readily available aftermarket.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 pages a month — the 25/23 ppm engine handles it but warm-up and first-copy times start to matter on small jobs.
  • You also send/receive faxes occasionally — Super G3 fax board is optional (W2 single-line, J2 multi-line).
  • You want a 2,700-sheet large-capacity feeder for high-volume letter work — Paper Deck-Z1 is supported, getting you to a 4,950-sheet max.
  • You're moving from a C2550 to a newer model and want the older unit as a backup — fine, but expect parts and toner availability to keep declining.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 8,000 pages a month — get a current-generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500-series instead.
  • You need scan speed faster than 44 ipm at 300 dpi — this is the upper limit on the optional DADF-L1; high-volume scan shops should look at a newer C5800/C5900.
  • You need wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi requires the optional NB-W1 adapter on this model.
  • You need cloud scan destinations like SharePoint, Google Drive, or OneDrive — this is a 2006-era platform, supports SMB/FTP/WebDAV but not modern cloud connectors.
  • You need PCL or PostScript printing — both are optional kits (PCL Printer Kit-Q3, PS Printer Kit-Q1), not standard. Standard is UFR II only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon Color imageRUNNER iR C2550 is a compact A3 color laser MFP from Canon's mid-2000s imageRUNNER lineup, built for small and mid-sized offices of 5-15 people printing 1,500-5,000 pages a month with a 20-40% color mix.

Print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi for text and line art (with the 1200 dpi Printer Expansion Board-A1) or 2400 x 600 dpi equivalent. Standard paper capacity is 1,100 sheets across two 550-sheet drawers plus a 50-sheet bypass; max with the 2,700-sheet Paper Deck-Z1 plus a second cassette pedestal hits 4,950. Drawers handle 12x18, 11x17, legal, letter, and statement-R; bypass handles envelopes and custom 3-7/8 x 5-9/16 to 12-7/8 x 18 inches. Standard automatic duplexing is trayless. The optional DADF-L1 50-sheet duplexing automatic document feeder enables 44 ipm scan/copy at 300 dpi. Color Universal Send is standard with email, I-Fax, SMB, FTP, WebDAV, LDAP lookup, and inbox destinations. Connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet plus USB 2.0; Wi-Fi is optional via the NB-W1 adapter. Footprint is 22.25 x 29.75 x 31.13 inches main unit, 256 lb. Toner is GPR-26 (BK 26K / CMY 14K yield). EOL platform — best for keeping an existing install running, not new deployments.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
