    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. I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.

    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.

    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’ve owned two other Lexmark printers which I really liked, so bought this printer for our second home. The hardware is great but as others have pointed out installation can be a nightmare. No manual comes with the printer and trust me you need one! There is a tiny two-line display that is extremely non-intuitive, although if you mess around with it long enough you can sort of figure it out. The app they tell you to download is very basic and does get you connected to Wi-Fi, although you need to go into settings on your iPhone and connect your phone to the printers Wi-Fi first...which isn’t obvious. Then when I tried to print it kept saying I needed to put paper in the tray, which was already full of paper. We tried everything and finally sent it back for exchange. The new one had the same problem! Arghhhhhh!!! After much more messing around with it I believe this is a driver issue. The printer is trying to print from the multi-purpose tray on the front rather than Tray 1 at the bottom. I’ve set the default tray to Tray 1 yet the problem persists. On my Mac I was able to change the tray setting to Auto and it works fine now; on my iPhone my son discovered that if you change the paper from “letter” to “letter, plain paper” it’ll work! You have to do that every time you print though. I can live with this, at least the printer is way better than the HP it replaces, which would never print wirelessly like it was supposed to. Hopefully a future iOS update will fix this! Be forewarned!!!

    Lets be clear, its a good printer. It was easy to set up, has decent features, and the print quality is good. Setup: cabled setup is easy, although if youre not going to go wireless, youll have to supply your own cable, whether USB or Ethernet. I wont dock them for that, although they could have said cable not supplied in their writeups. This just worked out of the box on my Linux system. For Windows, you should probably download drivers from the Lexmark support site. Not sure about Mac. Wireless setup is accomplished from the little display window on the printer. Ive always found this annoying but if you run Windows and want to install their software you can avoid this. But there is nothing hard about it, just a little tedium, and it works as it should, although I always prefer the Ethernet option. (Tip: on your router, assign a fixed IP address to the printer. This makes life easier for non-USB connections.) Okay, how does it work? Just fine. Double sided printing is wonderful, print quality is great, speed is about what youd expect today--- in other words, very good for a home printer used by a few people. (Dont expect to use this in a 20 person office, though.) Its a light-duty printer, very suitable for a home office. Build quality is good. Dont drop it off tall buildings, but dont be afraid to move it around or carry it around. It should stand up just fine. Now, the one gripe. Toner. It comes with the plague of printers in pretty much the last decade, the dreaded starter cartridge. This is a cartridge that is maybe 10% full, meaning you have to buy a real cartridge almost right away. And guess what, the cartridge price is in the same range as the printer price in most cases. Manufacturers dont have to make money on the printer, they make it on the cartridge. The starter is supposed to be good for 500 pages, about one ream. If that holds up, depending on your needs, you might get a week or two in a busy home office, and maybe a month or two of really casual use. So you better order that cartridge. You go to the Lexmark site and ... oh my, they arent selling them. Maybe a little later on? Better hope so, or pretty soon youll have a brick. This is 100% inexcusable. And comparing similar Lexmark printers, the cartridge will be over a hundred dollars. Wow. Usually there are 3rd-party cartridges, often for about 15% of the price. Thats what I always buy for my other printers; I find a reputable vendor and buy from them. But you cannot get the cartridge for this printer anywhere at the time of this writing (late March 2020). Im going to provisionally rate the printer four stars. After all, its a very good product. I would have gone five if the cartridges were available at a fair price. I will revisit this later. If in a month or two you still cant get the cartridge, the rating will be one star. Followup in June 2020: Toner is now available from the manufacturer (pretty expensive) and from at least one third party (a little less expensive but still not cheap).

    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.

    No manuals or written directions, only drawings of the steps. I had to download the 2 apps and tried to get it running but nothing. This is not an all in one and still too complicated. After 2 hrs I put back in the box it came in. This product really needs a setup manual and operating manual in the box.

    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.

    I was looking for an AirPrint and network capable printer that just flat out works with no quirks and this is it. Out of box to setup was less than 5 minutes and you connect it to your wifi with a smart phone app. AirPrint works great with no hiccups. I connected the printer to my PC over the wireless network in seconds. I love that there’s no wonky extra software needed to use this printer, all the default native printing services in common operating systems (Windows, iOS) just work. Thanks Lexmark for making a simple easy to use product.
