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)

Do not need second color, copy, fax, scan etc. capabilities. This guy does excellent double sided black and white print jobs very very quickly. Print quality completely up to laser quality. expectations.

Very happy with this printer. It is fast and smooth, the print quality is fantastic and the mobile app has been flawless. So glad I went with this model. Highly recommend.

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.

... But that is where it ends. I have been frogging around for 3 days so far and still have not gotten it installed. Valuable information on intalling is scattered over a number of HP vidoes that you must find on your own with a Google search. When you find it, it is usually some guy with a thick accent who is hard to understand. I still have not found out how to connect to the WiFi. Also unable to get the print cartridges to click in as shown in the video. All in all, great price, but an absulute nightmare to install. I am unhappy the I purchased this boat anchor.

I purchased this for my small business. I have not been disappointed yet. The quality is fantastic. I love the speed that prints are made. This has helped streamline my audits and reports so much faster. The crispness of the ink makes my important documents look so much more business like. I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.

This is the worst printer I have ever purchased. It constantly jams for no reason. It does not matter how much you fan the paper or what kind of paper you use. If you buy this printer you should expect to clean out paper jams on a daily basis. I will say once you actually get it to print, the quality is good.

I have been wanting just a monochrome printer for so very long, this is a dream. This arrived perfectly packaged and was very simple to get up and running. Important note...the enclosed instructions are not very helpful. We ended up googling assistance for getting our printer to print....and wer e happily directed to an app that set us up in less than a minute. Seems very odd that this wasn’t not put in or even on the box. That, along with how I can’t find any replacement toner cartridges...well...I hope Lexmark corrects that soon. This cartridge is supposed to be high yield so hopefully I won’t need the replacement soon.

Slow as molasses

I always have a difficult time trying to review a printer. Pretty much everything you need to know you can find out in the details and stats for the printer. It prints in good quality, prints quickly, is not overly loud and was very easy to set up. From time out of the box until printing was less than 10 minutes (if that even). It was very easy to set up and start using. There is nothing super flashy about the printer, but I do not think there needs to be. The one issue that we have had is that it was printing with a streak through the page. I pulled out the printer cartridge and the alignment piece (cant remember exactly what it is called) and put them both back in, problem solved! I owuld recommend this printer, good quality for the money.

I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback. And honestly, discounted or not, I started to regret the purchase before I ever opened the box (toner cost, small amount of space, etc). Well I had no problem with space since its footprint isnt much larger than my inkjet, its just a bit taller. Easy set up and I ended up using the heck out of this workhorse all week. The upfront cost seems a little steep but cost per page is nominal (albeit a bit higher than comparable models). This unit feels durable and consistent- it had only a couple paper jams out of 600+pages and only because I was loading it carelessly. In the long run I think it could save not only money, but plenty of time and sanity. In the near future I may upgrade to an all-in-one for additional features but Ill definitely hang on to the B3442 because it may be basic in function but it does its job really well.
