I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Since the instruction is weak and I met reviews on the network that WiFi is hard to do, I write how to do it, but in a shortened form, since the number of characters in the comments is limited.

3 installation options for P2500W:
1st item for local (via USB)
3rd point for the first connection of the printer via WiFi (entering the network settings into the printer).
2nd point for connecting the printer to other computers on the network (after completing the 3rd point).

1. Connect the printer via USB and complete the installation (step 1).
2. Check the properties and set the toner savings in the effects.
3. Select the 3rd item and find your own in the list of WiFi networks.
4. Select the protocol (often WPA/WPA2) and enter the network key (password) and continue. If the router does not filter devices by MAC addresses, then the printer will be found and its IP address will be issued. If MAC address filtering is configured, the printer will not be found. In this case, go to the admin panel of the router, temporarily disable filtering and repeat this step. The printer will be found and an IP address will be assigned to it.
5. Run the command interpreter (cmd) as administrator and type in it without parentheses (arp -a) and press enter. Find your IP in the list and write down the MAC address.
6. In the admin panel of the router, enter the MAC address of the printer.
7. Go to the DHCP page and enter a couple of MAC address and the desired IP address. The printer now has a permanent address. We save the changes.
8. Since the IP address of the printer has changed, either replace the IP address of the port in the printer properties, or remove and reinstall the network printer. Print a page for verification.
9. In the browser, on the command line, type the IP address of the printer. The WEB server will start. We log in to it under (login / password) - admin / 000000 and change the password to our own. We save.
10. Turn off the printer, disconnect the cord and find a place for our pet where he will live.

If something from my writing is not clear, then look for terms on the net and expand your horizons.

Pros

1. The cartridge can be filled with powder by yourself and save enough. Not all printers allow this. 2. Small size 3. High speed printing. 4. Low power consumption in sleep mode.

Cons

The disadvantages are not so hot, but still. 1. The minimum print density is 600 dpi. Could have done 150 and 300 to save powder. 2. Weak instruction. 3. Paper advertising stickers, some of which (such a tautology) can be damaged during unpacking by tearing off the tape. Therefore, boldly tear them off and white spirit will help you. The printer will be clean and without this frivolity.
