Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexmark X4550 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printing/Scan/Copy/Print (1410600)
Customer Review: lexmark
Summary: 5 Stars
i have used lexmark printers for years and found them to be quite reliable and compatible with both my desktop pc and my laptop.
i had gotten this lexmark to replace a printer/scanner/copier(other brand name) that refused to work after 3 months. the other company refused to replace it after we had tested the power cord and printer with my laptop and even re - download the program disc.
the lexmark printer/scanner/copier is absolutely great. it is hooked in both the laptop and desk pc. when i need to send a hardcopy of something for my husband to read -- i send the information to him by using the wi-fi feature of this printer. i have to make sure that whatever i need for myself goes to my printer. lol
Customer Review: Ink cartridges don't last very long at 2 Stars
we purchased this printer because of its wireless capabilities but could not get it to work right (my husband has never run into anything he couldn't figure out until this). so we settled for hooking it directly to our desktop computer and just plugged it into our laptop when we needed to print from that. kind of a pain... but oh well, we got used to it.i also had issues with the paper jamming frequently as other people have commented on.
the biggest pain for me.... i was horrified at how often i've had to replace the ink compared to our previous printer (an old HP all-in-one). and i don't do a lot of printing either... so after less than a year this lexmark is being replaced... back to a new HP. :0)
Customer Review: Beware! Worst printer I've ever owned.
Summary: 1 Stars
Lexmark really screwed this one up! My biggest complaint is that it just doesn't work in Wi-Fi mode for any Mac computer. Lexmark doesn't even have drivers for mac. On the pc side, I had to install and re-install a dozen times to get it to see Wi-Fi regularly and still when it goes to "power saver mode" the pc can't wake it up in Wi-Fi. The print quality is poor also, black looks almost green. Wavy type often when printing. I used up a black cartridge within 2 weeks and found replacement cartridges to be $25!!!! Even paper is difficult to load, seems to stick in the tray that feeds the mechanism. I really can't say enough to express my disappointment in this product as it does nothing better than my 6 year old Epson.Customer Review: Wow! That was Easy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have computers hooked up wireless and wired, XP, Vista, Mac (10.4) and Linux. I'm not an expert - just a tinkerer. So - I'm used to hassling when adding something to the system. I don't believe there is a driver for Linux (oh well..) - but everything else was SUPER easy. I took one of the reviewer's advice and did the printer setup wireless then hooked it to the Macintosh first (easy directions). Then I went and hooked it up to both my XP and Vista machines - just put in the CD and it all worked. The quality of the copies is great, and I managed to scan (wirelessly) from the scanner to a file on my xp computer. I haven't been this thrilled since I got the Dyson vacuum (and that was 4 years ago.)Customer Review: Not compatible with Mac -- Apple software conflicts
Summary: 2 Stars
This printer is advertised as Mac-compatible, but it is not. Apple software (including Safari and Viewer) crashes instantly when I attempt to print from that software. The software "closes unexpectedly," and the document does not print. This does not happen with Microsoft Office software on a Mac. It also does not happen on a Windows PC running XP.
I conclude that the printer simply can't be used with Apple software, which makes it useless for Mac users.
Update: I replaced this printer with an HP OfficeJet wireless all-in-one. The HP works flawlessly with the Mac, and connects to my wireless network with a single click. I recommend choosing HP over Lexmark.
