Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexmark X4550 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printing/Scan/Copy/Print (1410600)
Customer Review: Really poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
We have owned this printer for a little over a year. The initial setup was easy and it seemed to work fine, for a while. Print quality for the price is good.
First problem, 6 months in, was it would only print the last page of multi page documents. Pain in the ---, but I just printed one page at a time. Now, it has stopped scanning from any machine. I checked online and it seems that others are having this problem as well. It says, "unabale to download applications list". I tried all of the 'solutions' offered both by users and Lexmark. Updated the drivers then uninstalled and reinstalled all of the software- twice. Lexmark owes me 4 hours of my life back. Bottom line, this printer is not good at wireless connectivity, and really not good at anything but printing. Buy something else.

I read other customer's reviews before I made the decision to purchase this printer. My goal was to buy an inexpensive wi-fi printer that would be reliable. It's early, but so far this printer performs as advertised. The CD supplied with the unit contains the necessary software for installation, but also contains the setup procedure which I thought was straight forward. I followed the instructions and in just a few minutes I was able to print a document. I have printed one 8"X10" photo and several documents all without any problems. I have a very good wireless signal since I'm on cable. This could be an area where some folks could have problems if they're not using cable. My printer works fine from a very isolated location in my home. I definitely recommend this printer.Customer Review: Dont buy this
Summary: 2 Stars
This has to be the worst printer I ever bought.
1) Returned 2 printer cartridges because they were flawed
2) Downloading application list takes forever and scanning is a total joke
3) Ink runs out way too fast. I swear I printed less than 100 copies of mostly black and white. This printer's ink level indicators drop fast. How the heck my color ink levels drop is beyond me.
4) Wireless is a pain in the rear. I am sitting here right now trying to get the wireless up and running again and it doesn't recognize my wireless network.
5) lxdiag and utilities crash my Windows XP SP3 system. I had to reinstall twice.
Summary:
Stay away from this thing. Its a POS that I will someday sledge hammer into little bits and pieces.
Customer Review: Installation Problems
Summary: 2 Stars
This installed fine on my desktop computers but Lexmark's installation setup crashed my Acer Travelmate notebook over and over with Blue Screens of Death. Lexmark's troubleshooting faq was no help. Finally solved the problem myself by doing an uninstall followed by a Windows Restore and then doing the install in Safe mode with Networking.
The printer is kind of heavy and clunky. Place it somewhere solid, otherwise it will shake and vibrate whatever its placed on.
The Install has a lot of BLOATWARE associated with it. Do the Custom install and you can eliminate some but not all of it. No easy way to just install a driver without all the bloatware.
But it is one of the most economical wireless solutions available.
Customer Review: Save your money for something better! So frustrating.

Its a printer. Don't expect to be able to scan! We have moved a couple of times, and every time we have to reconnect our printer to the wireless network, it takes days!!
It only connects when it wants to. We keep it directly above the computer!! WE have to re-connect the installation cord constantly!
And scanning, forget it. It searches applications for several minutes only to say "application list failed". Never been able to scan w/ it once. I tried a memory card, it said "device locked" the device was most certainly not locked. I checked it, unlocked it, and reinserted. Same message. Different memory card, same issue.
If you want to print things, great. Anything else, its a waste of money and a time sucker to continuously re-connect.
