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)

If you are looking for a nice printer for your home office, this one may be a good choice. First of all, this was simple to set up, even for someone who is still running Windows 7 Pro. I did use the disk to get rolling on the drivers - and it seemed to be updated drivers. The printer runs pretty quiet and quick. The biggest concern you may have is replacement toner cartridges, which similar printers at Lexmark are well over $100, although I havent seen any for sale anywhere as of yet - but since this is a new product, Im pretty sure they will roll out when the printer goes public. Im not sure if this cartridge can be refilled - some offices Ive worked in have had refillable cartridges, but Id have to investigate more to see if that is possible for this one.

I would be returning this printer as I was misinformed about the optional tray being included but that it wasn`t when the printer arrived. Other than that it is a very fast and efficient printer.

This is a very nice monochrome laser printer. One I had previously took a long time to print from a cold start. This one begins to print almost as quiickly as an inkjet printer. Print quality is excellent and print speed is high. Wireless setup was very quick and easy. I like Lexmarks Unison toner. It separates the toner cartridge and the imaging unit unlike other toner cartridges where the units are combined. The Unison toner cartridge doesnt need shaking to equalize printing and prints at lower temperature than previous types of toner, so that means lower energy costs as well as quicker printing from a cold start. My only issue is probably due to this being a new item that I received through the Amazon Vine program. There is no online documentation specific to this model and I have been unable to determine the toner replacement cartridge for this unit. I assume that will change once this is a fully supported printer. All things considered, this is a great printer. My older laser printer is now history.

Im a tried and true HP guy, but this printer got great reviews on Amazon, so I took a chance. I shouldnt have! Out of the box, it looked pretty solid. But... The cartridge and how it is seated in the printer are confusing and unnatural to hold. Plus, it takes two hands to remove the ink part from the housing and you cannot set it down with fear of damaging the print roller. The tiny screen made it very difficult to type on, plus there are no clear instructions of what to do to set up the features. It has a CD-ROM. Ha ha, seriously!? Who has a CD-ROM drive anymore on their computer anymore! Plus, it does not say what the CD=ROM is for. Nowhere does it show where to go for help or how to set up the printer, not even a website. Okay, so I get it ready print and try it out. What!? All the pages are printing in negative or reverse--black for white. My test page has a fully ink-soaked black page with a few words printed in white. Ive tried printing a PDF, website and Word document--all with the same results. No documentation anywhere of how to troubleshoot. Their customer service phone support is closed on Saturdays. No help to be found on this issue anywhere on the Lexmark website. No articles anywhere on the Internet. Ive now spent two hours trying to troubleshoot the issue, with no help to be found. Back in the box it goes. Ill buy an HP like I should have in the first place!

Great simple monochrome (black & white) laser printer. I got it to print work orders and documents so I don’t waste expensive inkjet ink on them. It works just as advertised. I had a little trouble getting it setup to print from my laptop over WiFi. There are no instructions with the printer and none available online. You basically get a piece of paper with cryptic images that go through the printer unpacking and setup but no detailed instructions on how it operates. The setup of connecting over WiFi is done through the a simple screen with 3 buttons. You need to scan through all of the functions and then through the alphabet to enter password. Its time consuming and frustrating that they didnt make a better way to do this. The printer ended up connecting to my home WiFi network without a problem but would not allow printing through my PC. It showed up in the Windows printer list several times and would bounce between “ready” and “error” states. I finally was able to determine which printer was the correct one in my settings and delete the others. After that it works fine. I also connected via Ethernet for testing and that also worked fine. Also had an issue printing from Apple iPhones or iPads. The phone would show and “out of paper” error on it even though the tray was full and printer was online. Ultimately, I found a work around where you change the paper from “letter” to “letter, plain paper” and it will print fine. So it looks like there are a few bugs to be worked out still on the part of the manufacturer. I still give this printer a solid 4 stars for price, quality and the fact that it does just what it’s supposed to which is quickly print black and white documents inexpensively. Just be prepared to work though some issues with the initial setup.

I love everything about this printer! It prints from my phone with ease! It’s took maybe 10 mins to unpack it and print my first document!

Good printer

They will shut down your printer if you dont use their ink, and even though it only costs $5-$10 per month to use it, it shouldnt be that way. I didnt know I had to enroll in Instant Ink to even use my own printer. Go buy another one where you can freely go to the store and buy your own. Wish I could return it.

Good printer. Easy to set up, connected immediately to wifi. I connected it manually via the touchscreen, worked just fine but a bit tedious entering in the wifi password as it requires running through entire numbers and alphabet. It does allow for scrolling through so it didnt take too long - just a different process via the touch screen. Very fast printing. Id say the printing speed is the best feature. Two-sided ejects the paper then draws it back in for the second side printing. Theres a little stop-paper shield to keep the paper from flying off the top of the printer but we havent needed to use that yet as all the print jobs have been small. Theres an additional paper tray for larger paper. The main letter sized paper tray is in front, easy to fill, and fits flush with the printer. This printer is a big heavier than most probably due to the large ink cartridge. Its a bit noisier than I expected. Comes with picture only instructions sheet and a DVD. Works well for a home or small business. Theres Apps that can be downloaded either Apple or Android phones. I downloaded the Apps but was able to just print from my phone email. However, on one of our laptops we kept getting an error code. Not sure what thats all about. Also on my phone I had trouble printing from Gmail but my other email printed just fine. So, some little bugs to work out. Havent had to replace the ink yet - when we do Ill update as needed if theres issues.

I recently purchased the Lexmark Black & White Laser Printer 4 Series B3442dw, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with its performance. This printer has proven to be a reliable workhorse, consistently delivering high-quality prints with remarkable speed and efficiency. First and foremost, the WiFi connectivity feature of this printer has been a game-changer for me. Setting up the wireless connection was a breeze, and I can now print from any device in my home or office without the hassle of connecting cables. The convenience of wireless printing cannot be overstated, especially when multiple users need to access the printer simultaneously. In terms of print quality, the Lexmark monochrome laser printer excels. It produces crisp, sharp text with excellent clarity, making it ideal for professional documents, reports, and other text-based materials. The monochrome capability ensures that the printer focuses on black-and-white printing, resulting in faster print speeds and cost-effective operation. It prints at 42 ppm and has automatic two-sided printing. Commenting on the downsides, its worth mentioning a few. The mobile companion app setup can be a bit clunky. While the wireless printing functionality itself works well, the initial setup process through the app was clunky and didn’t work for me. Secondly, the built-in screen on the printer could be considered cheap or lacking in quality compared to some other models. The screens resolution and overall user interface may not be as advanced or visually appealing as one would hope. While it serves its purpose in displaying basic information and navigating through menus, it may not provide the same level of clarity or responsiveness as higher-end printers. Despite these downsides, its important to note that they do not significantly impact the core functionality and performance of the printer. The clunky app setup can be overcome with a bit of patience and troubleshooting, and the built-in screen, although not top-notch, still serves its purpose adequately. These aspects are outweighed by the printers overall reliability, print quality, speed, and convenience of wireless printing. In conclusion, the B3442dw has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, print quality, speed, and ease of use. The wireless connectivity feature has greatly simplified printing tasks! I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
