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)

Got the Lexmark B3442dw printer to use for my in home office, I wanted to print from my phone, or devices even when Im away, this printer Cloud management solution allowed me to do this, I set up the printer in few minutes through a mobile app, and downloaded Lexmark Print app for Cloud printing to my home printer from anywhere I am. I can also print anything that is on my phone, from slides to brochures which makes my workday flow seamless. I was looking for something with a minimalistic look, and this printer matches perfectly, I loved its compact size, it fits nicely on my desk, and looks very elegant. This printer does not come with a scan functionality, but I wasnt looking for this, as I scan through my phone most of the time; however I think next time I would get the version with a scanner just in case I want to scan large files.

Purchase a pair of these for my woodworking shop, and just was amazed at the difference. Purchased a pair for my brother and son after installing these in my shop.

print quality is very poor ; very faint and could not get it any darker ; attempted to contact manufacturer; however, they never responded

What I was looking for in a printer, was speed and duplex printing. This printer does both of those and does them well. it does this while providing incredibly sharp and crisp quality (1200x1200dpi) prints. This Lexmark printer is quickly becoming the workhorse in my home office, the printer I now have set as my default. Set up and installation went easily and the instructions proved very clear and simple to follow. I was easily able to set it up for my Mac and all the PCs in my house without any issue. I also connected my android phone and was able to print using google cloud print. Overall, I have to say this is a great printer (the only thing that could have made it better is if also printed color, but I knew what I was getting when I purchased it). Its connection over wifi is rock solid, and I have not ran into any print issues since installing it. The only small gripe I have is with the noise level. This printer is louder than some others I have tried, but I have to say, it is a fair compromise to get the speed offered by this printer. – I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.

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!

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.

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.

This is a compact laserjet printer that brings the beauty of laser printing to your home or office without the huge footprint that most LaserJets require. Printing is fast and clean. The toner cartridge is easy to install and should last a long time. The printer supports USB, ethernet and WIFI connectivity. The small LCD screen makes setup simple and is also handy in daily operations. You can also manage the printer via the web interface which provides printer status and additional configuration and print functions. If you are running Windows 10 the built in drivers will work just fine there is no need to install the Lexmark suite unless there is some specific feature that the suite provides. Remember to purchase a toner cartridge as Lexmark only provides a 500 sheet start cartridge in the box.

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.

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.
