Dell All-in-One Wireless Printer (P713w)

• 4.3" touch screen WQVGA display for editing photos without a PC
• Offers fast print speeds, up to 33 ppm in black and 30ppm in color
• Automatic 2-sided printing and Eco Mode for valuable energy savings
• Built-in 802.11b/g/n wireless and Ethernet support for freedom in printing

If I go longer than a week without printing the printhead completely clogs up and will no longer print. I know Dell is not the best printer but this has been the worst one I have owned and I have owned 3 dell printers. My 2 epsons have held up a lot better. Also the wireless setup has been a headache and I finally gave up. I am donating it and getting something else. A waste of money.

Buy Dell All-in-One Wireless Printer (P713w) Now

We bought ours from dell about a year ago. Our print head went bad after 2 months. Dell replaced it under warranty. Now, the print head is bad again, and, now we have no warranty. We have only printed 236 pages on this printer. The parts from Dell are 134.99. Ouch! The print head seems to be a common failure on these units. While the printer has GREAT features, replacing a print head every year is not a good way to go. While I do not blame Dell (I have been Very satified with their products), I must say that Dell should be ashamed for placing their name on this bad Lexmark product! I recommend purchasing a different product.

If you want to make a career out of trying to print things from a printer, this is the one for you. I''ve had three of the exact same printers along with a new print head, all of which were sent to me courtesy of Dell due to problems they were unable to fix.

The ink cartridges dry up easily when not used frequently and you waste ink running nozzle cleaning routines that don''t seem to do anything other than waste your ink. I printed a total of 15 pages from a high yield ink cartridge before it would not print any longer, that''s about $1.50 a page for black type printing.

The other major frustration with this printer is the amount of time it takes to print something. Even if all goes well with the cartridges, which is very rare, the printer does about 10 minutes of making noises before it even starts to print. If the cartridges do give you problems, it can completely consume an entire night just trying to print out a couple of pages.

I have had Dell printers before and have been very satisfied with most every aspect of them. This printer should have been recalled and customers given a new printer and free ink for life for the amount of frustration this printer can cause. Believe me when I say that the only thing this printer offers is FRUSTRATION!!!

The printer looks really nice, and on paper it has all the necessary features to be a good home printer. When you''re hooked up to it via USB cable, it works fine. However my intent was to use it as a network printer, as I usually use a laptop when I''m at home and therein lies the problem...

Set up as a network printer, this thing is a nightmare and is basically unusable. Every time I''ve used it, whatever it is I''m trying to do (usually a really complicated advanced poweruser task like, oh I don''t know, "Print a one page black and white document" or "Scan one piece of paper with black and white letters on it"), it takes me an hour. Literally as I sit here typing this, I am waiting for the printer to turn itself back on after having unplugged it for ten seconds so I can scan one piece of paper. I''ve been trying to get it to scan for twenty minutes now.

There are no reproducible problems, there are no effective troubleshooting steps, I''ve just had to turn everything off and on again and again until I get lucky and it works. I''m not a technophobe, I''m not a dummy, I work in a technical field involving computers, and this thing is ridiculous. It''s like they never tested the network printing *at all*.

If you want a printer to connect to a computer with a cable, this one might be OK. But if you want a wireless network printer, do yourself a favor and look at a different printer.

(All that having been said, I''m sitting here in front of a Dell computer typing this. I love Dell computers. They''ve been my last four home computers. The printers? Not so much...)

I''ve used many printers at home and work over the years, with varying levels of reliability. This is the worst, most unreliable printer I have ever encountered. The initial print quality was wonderful, but the honeymoon was short-lived. Constant jams, constantly starved for ink, slow print times, leaky/faulty print head. These have been my home printing experience for over a year of trying and trying to get consistency and quality. I''m finally simply sending it to the recycling and removing the software (which co-opts your work station) and will find a more reliable alternative.

I''m on my fifth Dell computer -love their PCs. They need to stick to that.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!
