Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexmark X4550 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printing/Scan/Copy/Print (1410600)
Customer Review: GREAT Wifi printer for the $$$
Summary: 5 Stars
I read some questionable reviews, and maybe some of the earlier models were lemons, but my experience has been very positive. It did take about 45 minutes or so to set up, but once over that hump it was extremely easy to use. No problems. The wireless works flawlessly, and I've never had to reload a driver or do anything else- works perfect every time. Prints both text and colors very well, and pretty fast for a very inexpensive printer. The print cartridge seems to last just as long- if not longer than the HP I use in my office. I LOVE the feature that allows you to print only text- helps save ink which is maybe why I've not had any complaints about cartridge life. Cartridges cost 1/2 of what my HP cartridges run, so that's a plus also.
I gotta tell you- I'm very pleased with the printer and would very highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Keep Looking
Summary: 1 Stars
I originally got this because it was inexpensive and the wireless concept appealed to me. The initial setup went fint, but it was a nightmare installing on multiple computers.
It also had problems connecting to my router. Even though they were about 3 feet apart, the printer would still often fail to recognize my network.
And if you like printing in the background, forget it. The software suite pops up to tell you that you are printing. Then it pops up and tells you you are done printing. Can't it just print and let me continue working?
Copying is fine but scanning is not. Whenever I tried to scan a document in as a '.pdf' file, it would hang up and finally tell me to pick another format. I usually ended up scanning documents as pictures and inserting them into my documents.
Customer Review: LEXMARK TIME WASTER!
Summary: 1 Stars
I run Tiger on a 3 macs in the home office and bought a 4550 before xmas. I have been through the set up a thousand times. Safari can see the printer and the 4550 says it joins my network - it even has an IP that it was assigned by the network but I can't ping the 4550 and no computers can see it. I abandoned the macs and hooked up a Dell PC to try to set up the printer. The PC set up utility launches OK, it sees the network but crashes when it attempts to get the printer to join. Ironically the printer says it has joined successfully when you print a status page but the PC can't ping it either. I got nowhere with Tech Support too.
I work for a living - it is not my job to trouble shoot this pig. Don't buy Lexmark - just set your money on fire - it's less of a hassle and the result is the same.
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
My old printer went out because I purchased an off brand ink cartridge, so I was looking for a replacement, but needed a copier and scanner. This product so far has been great, easy to set up and use. It fits nicely on my bookshelf next to my desk. Looks great, prints and copies well. So far, my ink level has not dropped as quickly as my old printer, and the cost of the replacement ink is resonable. Thanks again, AMAZON!
3/19/10-I have had this now for almost a year and it is still running great. The only problem I have had is the paper sometimes does not load right and you have to reposition it. I used the scan to email feature the other day and it worked great, even for an oldster like me. I still remember the days of the portable typewriters and hand cranked adding machines!
Customer Review: Great printer, great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
-Pros-
The wireless printing works perfectly and it seems to print pretty fast. I don't print all that much, the occasional essay for school or some web pages. I have had this printer for almost a year and never replaced the ink, cartridge prices are reasonable even when buying direct from lexmark.
-Cons-
There are two things that i don't like about it though. One, you have to physically connect the printer to the computer to set it up the first time. Two, to scan you have to go over and click the scan button, you cannot initiate the scan from a piece of software, this really isn't a big deal though because you have to put the page into the scanner anyway.
For a college student or someone with only light printing duties, this is an excellent printer.
