This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Good printer, lousy inplimentation of installation software
I received my printer yesterday so obviously these are first impressions only really. The installation process is more painful than it needs to be in my opinion. After we had the printer set up on our wireless network, the printer printed color photos very well, the colors were vivid and the images crisp. I even installed the mobile printing app and was able to easily print photos from my Galaxy S3, The black and white text was also crisp. There is a firmware update that I have yet to install on this printer available on Lexmarks website. Once I have it installed and run the printer through its paces again I will update this review.

2. Good Buy for the Money
This printer has very good print quality and is reasonably quiet. The only drawback to me is how long it takes to load a full color page. So far, so good.

Need more appointment... ?
Do not buy!! low yield toner, will not let you print when one is empty.
The quality of print for this printer is very good however; the yield for the toner cartridges is very low. My page count right now is 360. I replaced the black cartridge already two weeks ago. My Magenta is now out and this printer will not print at all because of the "88 Replace Magenta" error even though the black is full. You can't even access any of the printer menus. I just flashes red until you pay for a new cartridge.

This is the first printer I have owned, color laser or color inkjet, which does this.

Who designs stuff like this? Is this just a greedy grab for toner money?

These cartridges are expensive!!! I am now going to buy different printer instead of sinking more money into low yield cartridges.

If you have the money for this printer and cartridges, the WIFI works much better if you skip the software setup and do it manually.
