  • Paper type sensing

Update: March 28, 2011. The WiFi no longer works. I have not yet plugged this directly into my computer, but I am very disappointed at the WiFi failure. Granted, it did work for over 2 years, but the work load I put on my printer is very light.

I have been using this printer for some time now, and I am more appreciative of its qualities. I made some adjustments on the software end and now get better print quality. Lexmark also makes large ink cartridges and these last a very long time. I just built a new computer for another room in the house and the connection to this printer was extremely simple. Very nice for a bargain price.

Original Review

I bought this printer for its WiFi capability, and that works fine. It frees up space at my desk. It was easy to set up and install. This is an economy-priced printer and the color printing is, frankly, inferior to the economy HP inkjet printer I have been using. This printer does have 6-color capability and I have not yet tried that--it requires a different ink cartridge. I suspect I will switch to that when this cartridge runs dry. So this is fine for low-cost wireless printing, but don''t expect great color.

I got this printer to print small jobs from my laptop while I''m in my living room, and it''s perfect for that. Wireless set up wasn''t exactly easy, but it worked out. I use this for one or two page print outs, not for photos or high quality prints. It''s perfect for what I needed it for, and inexpensive. I wouldn''t recommend it as your only printer, just as a supplement for convenience.

Having used a Lexmark for years with great success (I print numerous times a day) I was thrilled when this came free with my daughter''s new computer. I had earlier decided Lexmark was superior to HP, Epson and other off brand printers that we had used over the years and that from now on I would only be buying Lexmark. But this Dicator printer was nothing like my old friend Lexmark Z1515. Well, I could get over the missing the comforting familiar voice that assured me the Printing (had) Started and that Printing (was) Complete. But this voiceless printer not only lacks the verbal assurances that all was well but gives no warning when paper jammed or anything else is amiss. I have to stand there and watch it to make sure no problems ensue. But the main problem is that it wants to tell me exactly when (and where) to buy ink and to change the ink. No longer can I run the ink cartridge out on frivious projects but must change it when the printer demands. This autocratic dictatorial machine wants me to serve it rather than it serving me. Since the printer company has a conflict of interest, I am uncertain as to how much ink I am being cheated out of by this action. Usually, I can easily print a phamplet in one color and go over it in another if I am low on ink in one or the other cartridge. But NO, this printer will not allow that, no longer can I exhaust the colors one by one to get the maximum value for my money. And, while the rip off ink racket is enough to sway me away from this company forever, this All Knowing Printer also sent me a creepy message that said in summaryLexmark is now downloading information from your computer with your permission. Now I never gave them permission knowingly although I know that everyhing online is open to all and there is no privacy, what does a printer company need to download from my computer? By the way, I do a lot of printing from a computer that never goes online, so you don''t get anything out of that one... or CAN you? Anyway this printer is being retired, I am not even going to try to resell it. I am not sure I am even going to give it charity as I do not know what information it has downloaded and whose hands it is going to fall into...

This is a low-end printer bought specifically for printing from my wireless laptop. Setup was easy, I don''t have any issues with the wireless not working, and I have no intention of printing high-quality photos or documents with it. You would think that pretty much sums up what I was looking for, right? Wrong. Wireless printing does me no good at all if I have to manually hold the paper for every single sheet that feeds into this poor quality machine. The paper guide is useless as it stops about an inch above the printer. This causes every sheet to jam when it is pulled (from only one side) by the printer. The only way I can get things to print is to hold the paper upright so that it can''t slip to the right side as it feeds through. I will not be buying another Lexmark printer.
