Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER! Once the paper jams, it won't work AT ALL!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this printer from Wal.mart for 60 dollars and shipped for 57 cents during the Xmas holidays.
Once installed, everything was working fine. Then the paper jammed! I double, tripled made sure there was NO more paper in there or any paper stuck or jammed inside, and I STILL got messages on the printer that there was a paper jam. I tried reinstalling the printer on my computer, unplugging and replugging and any other thing I could think of but nothing would work!
Upon researching online, I found out that this is a well known problem with this printer.
Do not buy this printer! It does have wifi and it's inexpensive, but once the paper jams, it's A GONER!!
I even sent an email to "Technical Support" and "never" received a reply back.
So, I paid just a bit more and got a BETTER PRINTER!
I purchased the "Canon PIXMA MP620 All-In-One Printer" (YES, WITH WIFI) for only 116 shipped at Ador.ama.
Stay away from this printer!
Customer Review: Fast Printing? Yes! Wireless? Yes! Wow - Amazing Printer!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are like me, you are reading these reviews in order to figure out whether you should buy the Lexmark X4550 Wireless all-in-one printer. Well, read no further - buy it! I read through all the reviews and most of the people that wrote negative reviews wrote it for two reasons: 1) the user did not understand the difference between local and network printer setup and 2) the user was a MAC user. If you have a PC and have a wireless network already setup, the printer is AWESOME! It only took about an hour to setup. When not in use, the printer goes to "sleep", but the little green power button fades in and out, almost like a heartbeat to tell you it's alive and ready to go. When you print a doc, it takes like 30 seconds for the job to transfer through the network, wake up the printer and spit out the paper (FAST PRINTING!!). A lot of the reviews talked about not-so-good color prints. I disagree - the prints look GREAT! This is the best printer I've ever owned!Customer Review: More headache then it's worth
Summary: 2 Stars
After days on the phone with the Indian technicians the unit never got to function wirelessly. It only holds about 20 sheets of paper and the feed mechanism is poor. After a few months of use I got a paper jam and realized that there is no way to get to the crumpled paper inside the machine. The customer service agent advised that I turn over the machine and vigorously shake it for 20 seconds. While the sheet didn't dislodge, it did stick out a bit from the rollers and with great difficulty I managed to rip it out piece by piece. Now I still get the paper jam notice and I'm just going to throw this unit out. One more thing, the ink for this unit was really expensive. These companies don't make much on the machine but on the replacement ink cartridges. I'm going to pick up the highly rated Brother MFC-490CW at a local Office Depot or Staples for $129 and have the ability to easily take it back if it doesn't work.Customer Review: it sure didn't work for us
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this printer last October and printed about 8 sheets thinking it was going to be a winner. It jammed on the next page and has been out of commission since. We can't find any hint of a jam or paper. We removed the cartridges and put them back in. We unplugged it and left it off to "rest." It simply won't work, won't scan, won't do anything. I have tried reading everything on their support site and nothing has been helpful.
I am not as sophisticated as an IT person but I am used to computers and networking and basic troubleshooting. I should have returned it to the store where I purchased it but kept thinking surely whatever was wrong was simple to fix. I guess I was wrong. After giving up on the printing end I decided at least we had purchased a scanner - can't get it to work either.
I think this is the last LexMark for me.
Customer Review: Worthless piece of landfill
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this printer for a couple of years and I've successfully been able to scan with it twice, after spending over 2 hours on the phone with tech support each time.
The printer doesn't come with a USB cord, and although it advertises wireless functionality, I couldn't get it to work (aside from call tech support) and otherwise I haven't used it.
Recently I reconfigured my home office, purchased a USB cord and set about to install the printer again. NOTHING!! I tried unsuccessfully 5 times to install the software program and each time it froze during the install. At the time of purchase, I paid $100, which is a $100 that I just threw away.
Needless to say, never having been able to use this printer properly it's destined for the landfill and I'm going to be replacing the printer with a Canon brand.
