Comment:

I managed to purchase this printer for about $30, compared to the [$] the store was asking. At that price it is worth it. My household prints roughly 30 pages max a month, and the ink that came with it is still going after 3 months. We print using the draft mode to save ink. The only issues I've had with it is it doesn't always reconnect to the wireless network properly when waking from sleep. A quick reboot fixed it.If I paid full price I wouldn't have rated it so high. If you can find it on a good sale or clearance, it is worth it.

I will never buy a Lexmark product again

Pros

Cons

Jams Easily

Unreliable

Best Uses

Comment:

My printer jams if you put more than one piece of paper in the loader at one time. Additionally, if you don't place that single piece of paper just right, it will jam with a sing piece of paper. This is the second lexmark printer I have owned and it was a gift. I would not have a lexmark if it were not given to me. I will never buy a lexmark again as both of them i have owned have had extremely low performance.

Ink Cartridge Produces Low Volume

Comment:

This printer is not expensive to purchase from a big box store. However, the print cartridges do not produce a large volume of documents, so you are always replacing them. That is a hidden cost which is not a low price.
