 Money Pit ! Not appropriate as an all around printer March 10, 2008
I bought this printer to use as an all around printer for a small 3 person office. Most what we print are letters in black and white. Please be aware that this printer comes with "starter" toner cartridges, that only last about 1200 copies. OK. I order a complete set of cartridges as well as the required "photoelectric units" that cost a total of about $800. Figure I should be set for awhile, because I very rarely print in color, only black. A month and a half later, the color toner units are running out again! I figure that it must be a mistake. I call Lexmark technical support, and they tell me that even if you are only printing in black, the printer also uses the color toner units!! If you dont want the printer to use the color toner cartridges, you must physically remove them from the printer! Unbelievable! The other problem I see is that every time we need to print a letter, it takes 1-4 minutes for the printer to warm up. This printer does work well as a (very expensive supplies) dedicated color printer. Just do you research before you buy.
Easily the most hated printer in our office February 1, 2008

We have had this printer for about a year. Besides some kind of consumable seemingly always running out, this printer routinely reports fathom printer jams, very frustrating. It seems to really get unhappy with Manual paper feeds, so dont purchase if you ever want to do that.
Networking has worked great though, except finding the right drivers for this printer is unnecessarily difficult. For example: The Lexmark website lists:
1. Lexmark Universal Postscript Emulation system driver.
2. Lexmark Universal PCL Emulation system driver.
3. Microsoft Certified Windows Vista 32bit PCL Emulation system driver.
without *any* layman explanation to what they are.

This printer is a piece of junk. I bought it specifically to print out our wedding invitations. When I went to print out our test invites, they were coming up with a faint gray background and gray streaks across the paper. It was like someone had slightly rolled over the paper with rolling pin with ink on it. I called technical support about the problem. They had me change several different settings on the printer, none of which solved the problem. They then asked me to mail them print samples to Lexington, KY. Here I was needing to print my wedding invitations, and they were having me mail print samples back and forth. I mailed them the samples and they call me back the next week to tell me that the technician has determined that the printer is defective. Fine, I say. When can I get a replacement? They told me that they won't replace the printer with the same model, because this model has too many defects. But I can upgrade to another model for $200 more or I can request a refund. I opted for the refund and faxed them a copy of my invoice on August 28th, 2007. They sent a courier to pick up the brick of a printer. It's now October 12th, and I have no printer and no refund. I ended up having to take my invitations to a printer and spent almost $400 for something I should have been able to do at home. I called Lexmark again yesterday and spoke to the supervisor, "Pete." Pete told me that he would contact the concerns department and call me back today. I asked how I could get into contact with the concerns department directly, and Pete told me that they don't have a phone number for them. Needless to say, Pete never called me back today. So I called in again, sat on hold for 20 minutes, and asked for Pete. "Max" tells me that Pete has already gone home for the day. He then looks through my case and tells me that they won't issue a refund until they receive confirmation from the courier that the printer has been picked up, and they haven't received that yet. It's now been 2 months since my printer broke. I've got no printer and Lexmark is holding onto the $600 that I paid for it. Do not do business with these people!
Availbility of Consumables is Terrible September 17, 2007

I bought this printer and it ran fine for a month. Then the photo-conductor had a problem. Support indicated they would ship a replacement and I would be a happy camper. Now 4 weeks have passed by and the part has not shown up. I called them repeatedly and was always told that it would ship in the next 2 days. Finally I got fed up and thought I would just go out and buy it. And guess what, nothing was available to buy. Not from Lexmark and not from the 3-4 dealers I called.
Finally I came back to Amazon and it seems they have 3 in stock. So I am going to get 1 ( I hope). But it is amazing that a printer company can be out of consumables for a recent and relatively high end printer for this long. Just makes me wonder if the management has it together.
Their stock seems to be tanking. This is my first Lexmark. Seems I should have stuck with HP etc.
 Lot of printer for the price June 28, 2007
Never paid less for more ... Plug and play set-up for Apple user. Awesome black & white text and graphics. Color graphics are beautiful. We've pushed the printer's limits--printing photos with subtle color variation (think body of water) at letter sized. If you look carefully at these prints, you can discern vertical bars of color and some uneveness.
Its a little louder than I expected and bigger. But fits on top of rolling file cart.
