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)

The printer is fast, quiet, simple to use, and does a great job of double sided printing. Print quality is fantastic and for the price you cant beat it. HOWEVER, read on to save yourself a headache when setting it up. The printer does not come with any software or configuration instructions. I turned on the printer and followed the prompts on the printer screen. When it showed Use mobile device to configure, I didnt realize that it was a QUESTION and not a direction. So I wasted half an hour installing the mobile device on my phone and then tearing my hair out trying to figure out how the $#@#!! its supposed to configure the device if it cant see it on the network (because the printer isnt setup or on the network yet...it was like the chicken or the egg riddle). Finally, I hit the arrow key on the printer and saw that the next option was Configure Printer through Display (or something like that). Ohhhhhhhhhh, now I get it. It would have helped to know that these were options and not directions. I selected OK and was able to add the printer to my network and add my WiFi password all through the printer display. Once I got over that hurdle, everything was fine. There is a mobile app to allow you to print from your iPhone or Android, and for the most part it works. However, one app on my Android will send the print job to the printer, but it never makes it. Very odd...some items print from my phone, some dont. I dont really care being I have never needed to print anything from my phone.

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

So, initial unboxing and setup was a breeze, even from the little screen with only arrows and an ok button. Connected to my WiFi no issues. Its from here when the issues begin. It drops off my network constantly - even with turning off all power saving features. I have Windows PCs, Android devices and Chromebooks that all have difficulty sending this print jobs. Even after adding the appropriate drivers, plugins and apps this printer goes missing/unavailable, print jobs stall or error out - in general just a royal PITA. Probably best as a direct connect printer thats shared out from a desktop. Not a feasable network printer IMO. Going to giver this away to a family thjat needs a printer for distance learning.

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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!

... 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.
