 Fabulous Printer |

I happened upon this printer by accident. I have previously owned the Cannon Pixma 850 after three years it stopped working. I went a few days ago to purchase the Canon Pixma 870 from Staples. Had in my cart when I happened by this printer. Immediately I was impressed. I run a small office and this printer caught my eye for several reasons.
1. Black ink cartridges are 5$ a piece. You can print 500 pages for 5$. That is an incredible bargain.
2. Unlike other printers it carries a five year warranty.
3. It has fantastic power saver features.
As I started using the device to scan, make copies, fax over the next few days it all just worked. Queitly and without problems it perfectly made color copies that were barely distinguishable from the source. The fax software installed on desktop without a hitch and was able to send a fax with no difficulty. It was quick easy to set up works wirelessly.
I use to probably as you do looked down on the lexmark brand. In fact to this point I have only used Canon and HP. But this printer has changed my mind. I can't believe that they don't get better press for what I know consider leading the industry in stopping the overcharging of ink to consumers and making a printer that will last by standing by the product with a five year warranty. if you are thinking about the canon pixma over this. I would consider this option of the lexmark carefully. |
Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 is a superior replacement to the HP

It worked easily out of the box and I've been printing wirelessly and double-sided since. Compared to my last printer: HP C7280 Photosmart All-in-One Printer (wireless and doublesided) which cost twice as much, this Lexmark is a dream. No jamming issues, software is easier to use, able to conserve more color ink than I could conserve with the HP. I'm so pleased.
The installation disc (which I installed on a PC and Mac) was odd OR user error. But this was a minor glitch because the paperwork that accompanied the disc and printer had a business card with the support number printed front & center. No hunting for that support number in the fine print or online so I called and got help in a reasonable amount of time. |

| I had been using the HP officejet 6210 all in one on my Vista 32 bit laptop. I replaced it with a Windows 7 premium 64 bit operating system. Although the printer was only a few years old, HP did not upgrade the utility software only the drivers. Now I could only print with my all in one. This drove me to Lexmark and boy am I glad. After two days use, I am impressed. The setup using the ethernet connection was super easy. I print mostly black and white, so 1 cent per page is great. The five year warrenty is the best in the industry. HP has slipped in the past years and the competition is very good. Way would anyone buy the HP OfficeJet 8500? |
Great value and features in a printer

Pros
-----
$4.99 for a 500 page black ink cart
Easy to disable color printing
Once setup, wireless printing and scanning is fast and easy
Energy Star
Great dynamic touchscreen controls
5 year warranty
Cons
----
Color ink still expensive (but can be disabled)
Wireless setup lacks good instructions for some setups
On my Cradlepoint router I had to disable the User Login page. Not a huge deal, but added an extra 15 minutes of trial and error to the setup and removes one additional layer of security from my home wifi.
To disable color printing on a per-computer basis in Windows:
1. Open printers folder under Control Panel.
2. Right click on the Lexmark printer then choose printing preferences.
3. Check the box for "print only in black".
I do not use the fax function on this device, but everything else works great. Got it for $175, but it's worth the $199 price I'm seeing now.
Summary
-------
Great value (best around) for black ink. Wireless adds crazy feng shui possibilities. (I have mine hanging from the ceiling.) |
Easy to Use and Feature Rich Printer - Highly Recommended!

We bought this Lexmark Pro901 printer to replace my excellent, but fried (power surge), HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer. This has all of the main features we needed for use at home, and then some, including:
* Wireless Networking, Wired Ethernet and USB Printing (did not test either), FAX, Duplex Printing (2-Sided), Standalone Copy and Scanning, included OCR (for converting scans to text), and an Automatic Document Feeder (50 page)
The setup for my wireless network was fairly easy and took about 15 minutes. The installation software worked fine on both Windows 7 and Vista, stepping through every stage of the procedure. After installing the print cartridges (Black and three individual colors), the printer self-aligned, and reported ready. From the menu, I selected the Network option, selected Wireless, it scanned and found my home network SSID and asked for my Security Key. The printer came up on the network and the PC software found it right away.
Printing from the PC was straight forward and worked exactly like it should. Using the scanner (TWAIN) from within applications like Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate worked perfectly as well.
All of the advanced features I tried (PC FAX, Scanning to PDF and Email, OCR) worked perfectly and were easy to figure out. The included OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is provided from a program called "ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint" and is surprising accurate. An interesting feature that I did not try is the ability to add "apps" to the printer, like RSS feeds and scripts. These can be downloaded from the Lexmark site. If these prove to be difficult or cause issues, I'll update this review.
To summarize:
Pros -
+ Easy Setup
+ Nice Touch Screen
+ Feature Rich
+ Inexpensive Black Ink
+ Good Text Print Quality
+ Fast "Standard" Print Speed
Cons -
- Pricey Color Inks
- Marginal Photo Print Quality
Misc -
* Supports Additional "Apps" on Console (RSS, etc)
This is a very advanced printer that works well for all of the functions I need and the low ink cost (at least for the black) is a huge plus for us.
Highly Recommended!
