I purchased one of these from Walmart because it was cheap and had scanning and wireless built in. What they fail to tell you is that the reason the printer is so cheap is because it will suck the rest of your money in ink cost. This thing uses more ink than any printer I've ever seen! No exaggeration, I replaced both my color and photo cartridges at the same time with brand new ones. After printing 6 pages of business cards (which BTW wouldn't print straight on the Lexmark, but printed perfectly on my mono HP laserjet) the photo cartridge was empty. 6 PAGES! That's all you get folks! Nothing cheap about this printer except for the construction. My only other complaint is the lack of driver support. Lexmark does not support Linux/Unix systems! Their recent Linux Driver SDK is a joke. If you want good printing stick with HP. They're the only ones I've found that can print well, support everything and last forever.

I thought this would be a great machine. Sadly, the automatic paper feeder often jams and the ink yield is very, very low. I printed two tax returns and the cartridge is out of ink.

I bought the product because it is wireless and I can print from my living room to my home office. HOWEVER, half the time I get "Problems communicating with the printer". It tells me to unplug the printer and restart. Only 1% of the time does that work. Then I have to reboot my PC to get it to work. Other frustrating things is in the middle of a print job it will lose the wireless connection - reboot again. It has to be the worst printer I have ever owned for reliability. Just don't go there!
