Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 user reviews

Cons I honestly see none. Anyone that doesn't take notice to this machine or any Lexmarks like it are crazy! Get off the HP bandwagon and look at who makes quality products THAT ARE BACKED UP BY 5 YEAR WARRANTIES. on October 15, 2009 by Capital_WRKR  | Read full review

Cons Blue tooth. So my phones have to liink to the computer to print. It would be great to just walk in and print from the phone or device. on November 19, 2009 by gskomasa  | Read full review

Cons My big issues:
1. My first printer from Lexmark was the pro 901, and it could not print from my computer. Lexmark promptly sent a replacement, the Pro 905. The difference between the Pro 905 and the Pro 901 is the 905 has 2 paper trays. They are the same on April 13, 2011 by DargaTvir  | Read full review

Cons Poor scan quality. Don't buy a Platinum Pro 905 (or 900 series) if you need a top quality scanner. The scanner has a "known issue" that causes images to be scanned crooked. The scan and conversion software is rudimentary. on September 24, 2010 by Virginia1001  | Read full review

Cons none really. on March 30, 2011 by Termn8er  | Read full review

Cons The software could have been a little easier given that I had such a wide array of installation needs and a home network. It took a little trial & error but it's up and running on the network and all computers. on April 20, 2010 by jerryc112  | Read full review

Cons automatic change from Black print ($5) when low to grayscale (use color ink at $50 for magneta/cyan/yellow). Scanning quality is not very good. Don't buy warranty from office depot, they do not replace your printer as promised on November 8, 2011 by Chang92649  | Read full review

Cons It wont load multiple page faxes, we are on our second printer and its the same problem. We have to manually load each page. I cannot get it to print an envelope! Just says there is no paper. on June 6, 2011  | Read full review

Cons Slow, takes a long time to respond to print commands, color cartridges run out very fast, large footprint. on April 20, 2011 by apowell  | Read full review

Cons Printhead has failed 2 times. Ink cartridges say 500 copies - I get only 50-75 per black ink cartridge. Cheaper to buy but in the end costs much more!! on March 20, 2011 by chowfull  | Read full review

Cons Document feeder problems, does not sense paper on a regular basis. Wifi connnection to computers is constantly lost, have to restart computer to be able to print. Scan to pdf is a huge file unless you scan at lowest quality. Support is very poor. Cust on March 19, 2011 by chicago1959  | Read full review

Cons Bought for the capability to use 2 paper trays - one for envelopes. Customer Svc couldn't fix software issue printing color envelopes from the #1 tray (the #2 tray cannot accept envelopes at all) - said printer will not print color env from MS Word! on March 9, 2011 by BusinessOne  | Read full review

Cons USES COLOR INK TO PRINT BLACK!!! There is an option for print black only in the print properties screen but you have to remember to use it. Some of the scanning software is subpar, but there's an easy fix. on November 14, 2010 by jabrownie  | Read full review

Cons Faxing and scanning using the keypad is most frustrating. I have honestly not seen anything worse. on March 8, 2010 by Eddierall  | Read full review

Cons Expensive ink
Ink runs out quickly even using higher capacity cartridges
Software issues on April 12, 2013 by prairiewind4  | Read full review

Cons 1) service sucks (see summary) 2) only the printer ever works consistently 3) no automatic software update, so if it's been a while since you've used scan and fax, you'll have to spend lots additional time to fix-usually when you can least afford it! on October 31, 2012 by reviewer60606  | Read full review

Cons Constantly must restart
Scanner/Copier lid broke after a year while opening normally.
Have to slam paper tray for full closure
Often won't grab paper for auto feed
Printer head failure with limited use - not firmware
Often won't register ink refills on August 17, 2012 by TechRacerX  | Read full review

Cons Printhead failure assured, redundant support for the same issue, scan utility doesn't sync well on Mac. on May 18, 2012 by ATXcaptainJC  | Read full review
