Customer Support Lacking [Posted on 2008-03-02]
I love the performance fo this printer. However, it is impossible to get replacement drivers unless your system is set up like the programmers at Lexmark expect. As I have no C: drive, I am unable to download new drivers.

Worst Printer I have ever owned [Posted on 2008-04-16]
Why? There are so many reasons, here are a few in no particular order:

Poorly written printer driver.

Scan program that ships with the printer is even worse than the one that ships with Windows. My scanner scans crookedly, I have to place the paper on the scan bed crookedly to compensate.

Printer cartridge is far from empty when the annoying pop-ups to order more ink start to appear. They reappear despite telling them not to.

I am giving it one star because my cat enjoys sitting on it when it is in use because it vibrates so much.

I have been in the computer service business, recently retired, for 15 years, and normally I do not get made at computer equipment. This printer is the exception. I plan to smash it on the sidewalk as soon as I run out of ink and have a replacement in place.

Admittedly a low end all-in-one printer, but if this is an example of what Lexmark sells, I will never buy another product made by this company.

I've had A LEXMARK X5470 for several{48+} months now STILL WORKING BUT LIKE ALL THINGS DONT LAST FOREVER SO I BUY MORE TODAY  [Posted on 2008-04-29]
I've had this printer for several{48+} months now, and I'm very happy with it.IT NEVER LET ME DOWN SO I WILL BUY ONE OR TO MORE JUST TO KEEP IF I EVER NEED A SPARE Great print quality for ANY use, and the scan/copy/fax functions are just fine for casual use. One pointer: I've noticed that the ink cartridges last a long time after the printer is telling you it's low. When the warning comes up, I go and buy a new cartridge, but I wait until the quality of the printouts actually starts to drop before I put the new cartridge in. I AM BUYING THIS ONE JUST TO KEEP IF I NEED IT THE BEST PRINTER I LOVE IT

Troublesome [Posted on 2008-05-01]
On the surface, The Lexmark X5470 looks like a great deal; it is a copier, printer, scanner and fax too. It also has an automatic document feeder and can print pictures directly from the memory card thru the built in PicBridge port and media card slot, however, you need a special photo color cartridge in place of the black ink cartridge. You can copy / scan /fax using the flat bed or the document feeder. All that at around $80. But the good stuff ends there.
Print quality is poor, picture quality is even worse; and it uses ink like there is no tomorrow, expect around 150 pages before the Lexmark starts telling you to order new ink cartridge. If you want to get a generic or refilled ink cartridge, the Lexmark does not like that, and it will keep telling you that it's out of original ink. You may even get an error message to change the cartridge and the machine will stop working until you do so. In short, you will have to use the original Lexmark ink cartridges at around $50 for the pair.
The most annoying thing is the "clear carrier jam" message, which keeps coming even though there is no "jam" anywhere in the machine. To clear it, you will have to turn it off, unplug it, remove both ink cartridges, plug it again, turn it on, reinstall the cartridges, and keep your fingers crossed that this will clear it. If not, try again.
Will I buy it again? Never. Would I recommend it? No way.
Lexmark: I hope you do better next time.

Pretty Decent Printer [Posted on 2008-05-10]
I've owned this printer for a few months now and so far I have had no problems with it. The only complaint that I have is that if the ink is low it keeps reminding you to reorder or change the cartridge each time you print. That becomes pretty annoying. Also it goes thru ink pretty quickly. Otherwise it is a very decent printer for the price.
