Customer Reviews:

So far, so good... [Posted on 2008-03-03]
While I have not tried the scanning function yet and, therefore, can't comment on the criticisms of that feature offered in the other review, the wireless printing has worked flawlessly for me both from an Windows XP and Vista set-up. The print menu is helpful and has worked wonderfully thus far as well. My only complaint is the black ink cartridge runs out rather quickly.

A Great Buy [Posted on 2008-04-06]
I purchased this printer because I use a laptop with a router in another room from the printer and was tired of constantly getting up and having to take the laptop into the other room and connect it to a printer. This printer installed flawlessly and works great. I am able to send print jobs to it anytime without moving and can change printing options from the printer software right on my laptop. I like that it also can be used without the laptop to copy or scan items and to print pictures. This is my 3rd Lexmark printer and I have never had a problem with any of them. Anyone looking for a wireless printer this is a good buy. Also can be found for less money at Circuit City this week. (4-6--4-12)

Efficient, good looking, breeze to install [Posted on 2008-07-09]
This printer does all I could ever ask. The software and installation were so easy to understand. Quick print or copy is just that! Many many options for resolution, color choices, 2 sided print..etc.

If you want simple..this works. Want to fine tune your printing/copying, that can easily be done was well.

Really glad we picked this one!

How about a pop-up once a week? you ink is low, for about 2 months.
How about anther pop-up? did you know you can recycle your ink
How about another? time to order more ink.

Not to mention the 5 calls to tech support, and I only get it to print about 1/3rd of the time. Save your money. Buy a print server and a real printer!

Unsatisfactory [Posted on 2008-07-24]
I bought this printer at Sam's club (under $100) to replace another wireless machine - an HP Photosmart psc 2510 that was worked successfully for several years.

The full installation process takes well over half an hour. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the wireless function working, despite many attempts and installing/uninstalling/reinstalling on two different computers. Lexmark live text support was very responsive, but after several hours of back and forth with them over the course of two days there were unable to get it going. In the end, the printer was accessible on my wireless network (I could ping it and log onto its URL) but it just stubbornly refused to print via wireless.

The machine did print reliably when connected via USB cable. Nice graphics, although fairly slow to spool up and to finish printing. Also, their software seems to enjoy putting annoying pop-ups on the screen.

Lexmark finally suggested that I give them remote control over my machine, but I was unwilling, considering that I would have to repeat the process on at least four different machines (2 desktops and two laptops).

It just shouldn't be this hard to install a printer. I finally boxed up the thing and took it back.

They can call me when they have a better product.
