 Impressive Wi-Fi Printing TechnologySep 12, 2007
By A. Sebyl Sholler
"Sebylita"
Easy to setup. Got it today and I love it. The wireless feature extends to my walk-in closet. That is where I decided to keep the printer. So far, no problems. I tried scanning and it is awesome. It lets you choose the software you wish to save your scanned document to. The copying is super easy. I mean, this is a great product overall. And, last but not least, I checked the prices of the ink cartridges, and compared to other brands, these are very affordable. Highly recommended printer!

Super impressedJan 11, 2008
By cmp
My husband and I both have had notebook computers for a couple of years now, and our (not that) old HP all-in-one was starting to have some major issues, neither copying nor scanning, and printing only in purple. So, when I started researching new printers and realized that there actually was technology out there for wi-fi printing, I was very happy.
After some research, I ordered this printer.
Set up, even the wireless connection, took approximately 10 minutes. My husband had it on his notebook, wirelessly, in another 5-10 minutes. The color is very true. Although photo printing is fairly slow, it is very good home quality for a "not photo" printer, and it does something the HP never managed to do, no matter what the settings - print an actual borderless 4x6 photo. I do use Snapfish for most of my photo printing needs, but this is terrific for my kids' school projects and other times when I need a couple of photos printed right away.
The scanning function is very cool - we can scan and send to either computer, even choosing multiple programs for the destination, all wirelessly.
The copying function is also quick and easy.
There are plenty of settings for changing the quality of any output. The software that comes for photo editing is fine, but as I have both free and camera software, it's unnecessary for me.
The printer does also have the slots for memory cards or camera connection right to the printer. Again, not something I use much, but it's always good to have the option.
I know I'm doing a lot of comparison to HP, but as my last several printers were HP, that's what I know. The ink for this printer is significantly cheaper, which is another bonus. Also, the ink status is shown with every print, so you won't be suddenly surprised by the "your color ink is low" message in the middle of a job.
All in all, this is perfect for us - a stay-at-home mom and a husband who needs to print some work stuff, and two kids who love to print stuff off playhouse Disney or Nick Jr.'s websites, with some photo printing thrown in. I love the all-in-ones as I do need to copy from time to time, especially for the kids' school.
My only complaint: there is a great sensor function for adjusting the printing quality based on the paper that's loaded, but there is not a secondary tray for photo paper, so you have to manually switch papers. Other than that, all is good!

Could be betterMay 30, 2008
By Outofmymind
Pros:
Stupid simple setup, sees my home network (laptop with Vista, and desktop with XP64) through a wireless router.
Generally many good features for a low price.
Ink is much cheaper than my previous epson printer
Cons:
Scanner and fax cannot be operated through the wifi from your computer. You can send scanned images to the computer using the panel which of course makes some sense, but then you'll have to wait a few seconds every time, to download a list of all the applications that you can send the scanned image to.
Its either wifi or USB connection. You can't have both. If you connect the printer through a USB, wifi is turned off and your other wireless computers won't see the printer anymore.
I printed one 6x4 color photo, and the color ink went down to 94%. I doubt thats efficient color printing.
Scanning and printing quality is not the best I've seen. But thats what you get for an all in one device at that price.
Verdict:
If you want a cheap all in one wireless to do your everyday office work, this device will fit your needs just fine.
If you want quality color printing and scanning, this model is not going to satisfy your needs. Go get a separate scanner and printer instead.
If you want to use the scanner through the computer, you have to connect it through the USB port and by doing so, wifi connection with any other computers will be lost. I think I'll keep it but my feelings are mixed about it. As always, you get what you pay for.

Amazing bang for buckOct 17, 2007
By Sunit Gala
"random variable"
This is a really good piece of hardware. Easy to install and set up -- just follow the instructions to a T. The setup and software for scanning, and image management is way better than anything HP has. I've been using HP printers for over 10 years, and will no longer be buying them. HP refused to sell replacement parts for the all-in-one 7400 which I'd bought for $540 and went bad a month after warranty expired. I was not asking for a new printer or anything, just that HP sell me a carriage head.
Anyways -- the Lexmark is just perfect. Works with my PCs and Mac.

Awesome wireless printerDec 22, 2007
By bezoarrn
I've owned this printer for 4 months. I wish I had bought it from Amazon. I would have saved $30 plus S&H. I love this thing. I've had no problem with wireless connectivity, and I'm a newbie to this. Just follow the directions. I run it off my home network with a desktop and lap top, both wireless. The printer lives in a room on the other side of the house from my office and bedroom (where I use my computers most). It doesn't matter which part of the house I'm in, it picks up the signal and prints high quality documents fast. The resolution and color printing for photos is awesome, unless you are a photographer and must have the best of the best for professional work. Then you wouldn't be reading this anyway.
The fax works flawlessly and was simple to active, even though it was my first time to do this. The scanner and memory card features work perfectly as well. The copier saves me so much time and money - no more running out to the local copy shop! The printer options are extensive, and you do have the option to print 2 sided documents. Choose that option and then turn the stack over when prompted to. It WORKS. And - the interface TALKS to you. Freaked me out the first time.
It does use ink pretty fast, but so do most other printers. Replacement cartridges are expensive, again, ditto for other brands. At least Lexmark has a recycling option for used cartridges that gives you a little price break. Plus, it's easy to reorder online. The lexmark site is easy to use and you can order replacement parts from there if you need them.
I don't know if this package has the the photo and picture Ulead software with it for photo manipulation, making greeting card, or other projects. Mine did from a different seller. I would have chosen to not have that to save the $30 here!
BUY IT!
Just keep the power cord out of your dog's mouth.... That's why I came here, looking for a new cord. I found one easily on the Lexmark site - I just hate paying that much for a cord.
