printer is a glorified paper weight unless ALL cartridges are full. Yes....this means you cannot print in black and white although the setting allow you to select black and white. Wait until you run out of ink in one color cartridge and you get a message that the printer will not print until it is replaced. Horrible business practices....people may buy for the initial lower price but once coerced to buy copious amount of unnecessary ink they will regret and not patronize lexmark.

Buy Lexmark Intuition S505 Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer Now

Printer it self looks like a good design for home use, but when it comes to ink, despite of the fact that you want to use your printer black and white only print mode, you have to buy color ink as well. Printer wakes up 3am randomly and wastes remaining unused ink and depletes (cleaning it self!!) even if you don''t print so much, so long story short, lexmark''s terrible greedy business practice well ruins a good product. It does not worth of your cent, do not buy it unless they come up with a proper (less greedy) printer driver. And ask the same thing for other lexmark products as well before you buy it.

I have had this printer for several months now and I have already had a lot of trouble. I chose this brand and model from personal recommendations and reviews from other sources. They were all very good, so it might be this is the only one to have problems. Somehow, I think not. I started receiving printhead error messages right away. It needed cleaning, but the cleaning instructions say to remove the printhead. Maybe everyone else knows how to do that, but I don''t. Then it said that the ink was very low even though they were extended use cartridges and I had printed very little. I installed four new Lexmark brand cartridges, one in each color. Then it said that the cartridges were missing. So I switched them out and the old ones said that the ink was very low. I took that to indicated that at least I knew how to install them. I called customer service and they immediately said that they would send a new printhead. That was my indication that the problem was not new to them. Unfortunately, I needed to print that very day. So I went out and bought a $30 HP. I highly recommend that! It works perfectly.

Addendum: It is now January. Here I am still with this blasted printer. I have learned to hate it! It frequently says that the cartridges are missing and I am looking right at them. The new printer head came and is installed. Maybe it works a third of the time, but you really can''t count on having a printer. Many times it just says that the printer is not connected to the computer. I think that Lexmark has a real trouble maker here. Please do yourself a favor and don''t buy this printer!

The printhead won''t work after six months. I have to either replace or purchase another printer.. and it won''t be a lexmark.

I''ve had this printer for about a year. I highly suggest going with something else. I hate this printer so much! After hubby saw many great reviews on this while new, he put it on his Christmas list. His in-laws got it for us. I''m glad we didn''t pay for it but I wish it was better. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros:

It''s better than not having a printer

It has wireless capabilities

It has a scanner built in

You can make copies if you have all the ink (but that goes into a con when we are talking about ink)

Cons:

It''s very slow

The ink "runs out" way too fast (I''ve hardly used the ink and it all of a sudden says low ink when I know it''s full)

It''s hard to assign this printer to another computer when your old one needs replacing

Black and White printing doesn''t work if any of the colors run out

Sometimes it doesn''t shoot out some ink for a color if you print more than 5 pages at a time, leaving streaks

The ink is very expensive and you have to replace way too often

I can''t wait until we can cough up the cash for a new printer. I want to take this paper weight outside at a park and smash it up to pieces like they do in Office Space. Please do yourself a favor and save that money for something better than this piece of junk!
