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

Works fine. Decent basic laser printer.

Ok, set up was kind of a pain but once I figured it out, everything else went smooth. It comes with a software disk which is useless for me sense my laptop has no disk reader. Basically, you just have to connect it to your internet through the settings on the printer (no apps needed,at least for me) and once it was connected I was able to print thru WiFi from my phone. Havent tried from my laptop yet but Im sure it works the same. The print quality is clean and it prints pretty fast. I printed out a large packet of about 200 pages or so and not one jam. So far, this printer is great and worth the money.

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.

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.

Sometimes it prints, sometimes you can hear the spinning but nothing happens. This was under Windows 10

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

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.

*********EDITED MAY 2020: It didnt make it through the tiny starter toner. It connects to the network, it just refuses to print with no indication why. Im a retired network engineer and have dealt with the nastiest of printer problems on networks and repaired printers in the field with paperclips, soldering iron and sheer anger. This one stopped working rather early on and can only print its own configuration- no other print jobs will work and nothing more of an error than it just cant print the job. My last Lexmark was an utter failure, too... and this one will now join it as I have to PAY to recycle them both. As of today, replacement toner is not available anywhere- even from Lexmark unless I mail in the empty one first to refill. Im done with Lexmark after decades of buying dozens and dozens of their enterprise printers at a time.************** This is a no-frills, monochrome printer without all the fancy touch-screen nonsense. What it does, it does perfectly- spit out paper quickly. I print a LOT while Im working on some business plans, consulting and getting my MBA just for giggles despite being retired. My color laser eats toner as if it is free and it most certainly isnt. Having a monochrome, fast, two-sided printer as a default is the best idea ever... save that color printing for when its actually necessary. Its surprising how often one does NOT need color, and the cost savings of not wasting printing in color is significant. I set this up without looking at directions, as I always do. Initially, it didnt detect ANY WiFi networks in my house when there are actually five of them. This was odd, but after several tries it started to see them. I had to go through typing the password through the simple buttons and simple display three times, but it finally connected and all is well. There is an app for this as well as computer software, but I chose to do everything without adding yet another app or yet another bit of software on my computer. Its likely far easier to do it with the apps etc- so unless youre just a glutton for punishment like me, just use their app. When it came time to print, this is when I became a big fan... it spits paper like crazy! I set it to print a large document, four pages per side, double sided... and wow, it was racing through it so much faster than any other printer Ive had. SUPER fast at getting prints done. The print quality is fantastic, too. Double-sided printing saves SO much paper and space, too. Lexmark has always been one of my favorite printer suppliers, mostly known for their commercial machines. My last Lexmark was a color laser which was a complete disaster and never worked well at all. It ended up being recycled without ever having a successful print. Lexmark has redeemed themselves with this one- its a business class machine that will absolutely STUN you with how fast it can put out pages. The ads say 42 pages per minute... which is faster than what I got, but plausible. Bravo, Lexmark. There are cheaper printers out there, but this one delivers performance that is worth every penny.

Worst printer ever. It worked for a bit then blue tooth stopped working. Then put a cable and it worked for a bit then stopped again.
