Lexmark C2535dw Color Laser Printer with Duplex Printing, Wireless Connection, and 35 ppm (42CC160), White/ Gray, Medium

Its a color laser printer at a great price -- keep this in mind. Overall a great printer. Issues: It pulls multiple blank sheets of paper when it prints. Linux drivers work, but windows drivers will give you a better quality print. Firmware update process is easy.

The install requires the disc and a phone app. It isnt too hard, however, I kept getting an annoying pop up window after every print job- SMPT not set up, contact system admin. It would repeat this at the beginning as well. Maddening because I could not find a way to shut it off and online support was useless. Three emails and two phone calls to tech support finally resolved the issue. In the end, it prints fast with a quick start up. Prints look good.

I ordered this item. The condition was supposed to be new. The instructions had grease spots all over and they were crumbled. Laser toner was all over the machine. And some of the tape that is applied in the manufacturing process was obviously missing. I sent it back; order another one and hopefully it will arrive in new condition.

This is an excellent printer. It is super fast, relatively quiet, and works with no issues. Wireless set up was super easy - you download an app and are in business in less than a minute. Color prints are not photo quality (at least on regular paper) but still look very good.

I rarely review products but this printer warranted it. I ordered this for home / small business use and everything exceeds expectations so far: 1. I received it the day after ordering despite not spending 100+ on rush shipping! (it estimated 5-8 business days to delivery for standard shipping that I chose) 2. It was easy to setup for home use: a) I followed the pictures on the 2 sheets provided to disconnect the shipping pieces & add paper b) I then installed the smart phone app to connect it to the wifi router c) Then I went thru the settings on the printer screen to see if I should change any (e.g. sleep/timeout settings & auto duplex under eco mode- paper), turning on collate etc., also printed test pages and it worked great d) on my phone i printed easily with other lexmark print app e) on my computer it was able to quickly add and find the printer thru the wifi network and then I was able to print from excel and a pdf easily, trying the settings for color, black & white, duplex, collate etc. 3. It prints super fast, 35 ppm would be about 2 seconds per page but it seemed even quicker! I guess Im used to the slow inkjets.. 4. This was a great deal compared to other printers I shopped around for, choosing this after many hours of research & reading reviews; a) wanted laser for printing speed, inkjets are cheaper & good for photos (tho this prints color great too) but are so slow b) For wireless, color, laser printers at around 35ppm print speed there was nothing I saw close to this price (others were more expensive or didnt have comparable features) c) I read mixed/poor reviews of other brands (hp, canon, brother) for durability/reliability & cost (upfront and ongoing)- e.g. brother had long term fuse problems people said they refuse to fix, & apparently they software limit the toner based on page count so it can only use half of it before forcing you to buy more.. there used to be a way to reset the system to get around the limit but they blocked that too per the latest reviews 4. I debated getting the more expensive all-in-one version with copy & scan but phone apps like Microsoft Office Lens make scanning to pdf quick and easy (just need good lighting, it scans full page recognizing edges) so I really didnt need those extra features on a bulkier printer 5. The few complaints I read about Lexmark were about difficult setup (which I had no issues with at all, I didnt even need the CD) and potentially a little more toner cost for long term. But that didnt concern me b/c itd still way cheaper than going to FedEx/UPS & there are settings to extend the life (I noticed pdf options to reduce toner usage 15% which had no effect on quality, & I believe the printer itself has similar settings too); also there are likely cheaper alternative toners out there.. Ill research later as this will last me a long time before I need to buy more :)

Works great and is so fast printing. Tricky to setup as the app required Location settings to be active on my Android phone. After enabling Location settings with no joy, I then decided to enable Bluetooth too and then it worked. Also, it was a little confusing as to when you need to switch from the printers own Wifi connection back to your home Wifi connection. The setup took about 30 mins.

So far so good; meeting expectations; will send additional information as time goes by; especially if anything negative occurs; cartridge longevity, print becomes poorer, reliability problems, etc.

I just received mine, and my initial impressions are its about the best printer Ive ever owned, HOWEVER, if you run Linux operating systems like I do, you will have to go to the Lexmark Drivers website to download and install the Lexmark C2500 series drivers, and have the printer installer find them locally, otherwise youll get stuck in a Searching for Drivers / installing drivers loop that will have you tearing your hair out. Lexmark requires that you accept their agreement before you can download the required drivers, and the printer installer cant do it for you. Once I figured that out everythings all shiny!

Only problem I had was the CD was jammed into the top of the package and was warped!! I had to go online to be able to get it working, and was a pain. Ive tried everything to get the CD straightened, and just cant do it. Would be so much better if I didnt have that problem!!!

I received this printer for review through Amazon Vine, and am very glad I did not pay for this. I am an expert on computers and setting up printers is typically easy. This is my first Lexmark printer to be utilized on my wireless network in my Mac environment, and after 3 hours of effort, I still cannot get the printer to print. I had very little problem getting the printer logged into my wireless network, but I cannot print from any of my computers. The CD that comes with the printer is for Windows only, no Mac software, so I went to Lexmarks website and found a firmware update, and figured out how to get that installed by putting the firmware on a USB thumb drive and inserting it into the slot. It updated, the printer restarted, and I thought I was in business. No luck. The Lexmark C2535dw shows up under my printer list, but it could not be added. I am using Mac OS Mojave 10.14. Lexmarks website lists no specific printer driver for Mac users for this printer, so I tried installing the only general printer driver available for the C2500 series. When setting up, it gives you the choices of Secure AirPrint, AirPrint, Autoselect, or other. I tried them all. Using secure AirPrint or AirPrint it says an error occurred trying to add the selected device. I selected other and used the general driver called C2500 series and that allowed the printer to be set up, but when I go to print, it sees the printer, says Printing-connected to printer, then goes to Ready to Print, then printing-Printer is idle and nothing happens. I give up. Lexmark support not open on weekends. I have already lost more money fooling around with this printer than what it costs. Makes more sense to throw it away and go back to another brand where set up takes a matter of minutes. I ALSO TRIED TO SET UP THE PRINTER USING A MAC WITH AN EARLIER OPERATING SYSTEM, BUT STILL THE SAME RESULTS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER FOR MAC USERS. AS A MAC USER, I WILL NEVER GET A LEXMARK PRINTER AGAIN 4.2.19 Update: I have been in direct contact with two different Lexmark techies, one by phone and another who actually had control of my computer through LogMe In. After almost 4 hours total between them, neither could get the printer to print with either USB or wifi network. Could be a bad printer, so we will see how they handle it. Will they replace it? Update 4.15. I had my brother, who is a Windows user, come over and try to connect to this printer. It was very difficult, but finally he got it to connect. After he did that, suddenly, the printer started working wirelessly with my Macbook Pro on my network. Go figure, no one knows why. Update 6.20.19 Unit once again will not work via wifi. Lexmark cannot fix and will not offer replacement. I am using it directly connected via USB and set it up to be shared on my wifi network as a work around
