Lexmark B3442dw Black and White Laser Printer, Wireless with Ethernet, Mobile-Friendly and Cloud Connection with Automatic Two-Sided Printing CarbonNeutral Certified Office Printer (4-Series)

Great printer. I read where you needed a cd drive for installation. I went on their web site and installed a driver from there with no problems. Works great as a simple black and white printer. Well worth the price if you do not need color.

Lexmark B3442dw Monochrome Laser Printer was easy to install and has been a breeze to use! Works well and speedy!

I ordered this printer to replace a much larger Canon printer I’ve had for five years that has become somewhat troublesome. A year ago the wireless connectivity failed, and more recently it’s been jamming a lot. This printer, although roughly half the size of the Canon, prints just as fast, and the print quality is just as good. It doesn’t hold quite as much paper as the Canon, but my printing volume is not so high for that to be a problem. It also lacks a scanner and FAX capability, but both of those features are becoming less necessary as we enter an era of on-line documents. It’s a good value

Lexmark has phone contact with a technician that guides you through process of setting up your printer.

I had a little trouble setting this up. The instructions are graphical so that they work all the different languages worldwide. The first steps go through getting it out of the box, removing all the shipping tape and padding, putting paper in it and the like. At step 12, it basically says turn it on. Then in step 13 there is a picture of the CD and an arrow to a laptop. My laptop doesn’t have a CD drive. So I tried using it on a desktop Windows 10 PC and it couldn’t find the printer. I assume there was a missing step somewhere that was to allow the printer to access my local WiFi network. Since I have a wired ethernet as well as WiFi, I chose to make a wired connection so that I could go to the next step in the setup program. It did find the printer and that allowed me to go further. I did have to do a bit of troubleshooting to actually get it to print. I got some error message about something (SMTP?) not being set up. I kept trying to print and I thought it still wasn’t working until I went to the room where the printer was located and found that it had been printing and double sided at that. I seem to remember it asking me at some point if I used the wireless app to set up the printer. Since I didn’t have a wireless app that I was aware of, I said no. Notice in the lower right corner of the instructions there is an I with arrow pointing to a WWW for I assume information. Does this mean, if you need help search the web? A web might be helpful. On plus side, the printer works fine, with good print quality. I assume that I will get the wireless part working at some point.

The packaging looked perfect, no punctures, tears, or scrapes. But as I unboxed the printer, a small coil spring fell out. Not sure if this matters, but it was a sign of things to come. The printer never printed a single page. Each time I tried, the page would make it about half way through the printer and then the thing would decide that it was jammed. Although I did not get far with the printer, I did get far enough to find three problems. Problem 1: the printer cannot accept a long WiFi password, and it does not inform you that this is a problem. You have to use supernatural methods to conclude that you must use a WiFi access point with a short password. Problem 2: the back door of the printer went off one of its two hinges, for lack of a better word. I have no idea how this happened, because I was very gentle with the printer while opening and closing it. But I had to use considerable force to get the door back in place. I have to wonder what other plastic deformations this printer is capable of. Problem 3: the entire printer is thin plastic and bendy. I realize that the days of solid office equipment are long gone, but this printer is especially shoddy. I cant imagine how it could last, even if it starts out alive on arrival.

I recently purchased the Lexmark Black & White Laser Printer 4 Series B3442dw, and I must say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. As someone who was previously using an inkjet printer, the difference in performance is astounding. The laser technology in this printer delivers exceptional print quality, with sharp and crisp text that is truly professional-looking. One of the standout features of the Lexmark B3442dw is its speed. This printer is lightning fast when it comes to printing multiple copies. Whether I need to print a few pages or dozens of duplicates, the B3442dw handles it effortlessly and quickly. This has been a game-changer for my productivity, as I no longer have to wait around for pages to slowly trickle out of an inkjet printer. The duplex printing capability is also a huge bonus, allowing me to print on both sides of the paper automatically, saving both time and resources. Overall, the Lexmark Black & White Laser Printer 4 Series B3442dw is a fantastic printer that far surpasses the performance of an inkjet printer. I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.

This compact laser printer (8 3/4 H x 14 W x 14 D) does just one thing, but it does it very well. From sleep to first page out is under 10 seconds and pages print at the advertised speed, even using the duplexer, which I love. The picture instructions are bad, and there is nothing else, but once you get the printer out of the box they kind of make sense. This does not come with any cables other than power, so if you want to connect other than wirelessly you will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your network or a printer cable (with that squarish connector) to connect to your computer. I opted for wireless as I wanted to test this with my Android tablet as well. Once you power on the printer you have to use the 2-line monochrome screen to set it up (date, time, time zone, connect to network). Not terrible, but a user manual would have made it much better. Do note that if you connect to a network it has to be 2G and not 5G. The driver for this is not on the Lexmark site as of this review, so I had to use the CD (I tried with the Windows driver and the pages printed like a negative, but the Lexmark software fixed that). The Lexmark app installed fine on my Android tablet (Samsung) and I was able to print from there as well. This is a no-frills B&W laser, but it is the best one Ive ever used.

This printer has never worked correctly the network never worked I had to set it up via ethernet cable and half the time it prints out blank pages. Do not buy this huge waste of money.

It really works. Easy to install, all the instructions are there, very smooth and quickly. Print quality is good. Prints really fast. Is not very big, size is just perfect. Light, energy saver. This printer arrived just in time, we were in need of a new one and this contains all what we want: wifi connection, print from phone, easy to use, etc. We are in love with our new printer.
