Lexmark Interpret S405 user reviews

Pros Prints (when it has ink) good quality photos
Scanner works fine
Wireless ok

Cons Ink ink ink..
Even when it has ink it thinks it needs more
Ink leaked all over and had to replace the printer head

Summary It worked okay for me until I had to do a good sized print project of several photos. Must've just been too much for it as after that I've not been able to keep it happy and full of ink. And ink has leaked all over. Replaced the Printer head (because it told me to) but that didn't solve it. I thought I was getting lousy ink cartridges but after reading reviews understand now it is the printer.

Pros The fax works great

Cons Drops connection with the computer
Won't print color

Summary I thought that it was an ok printer, it's fax saved me several times, but I have had nothing but trouble with the printing. I think that the Lexmark company should give us all our money back.

I also for got to mention that I will NOT be buying a Lexmark printer again. EVER!!!!!

Pros boat anchor?

Cons printhead errors, connectivity, ink use

Summary So many problems with this printer...I will list the ones that irk me the most. I am off to buy a new printer today and will NEVER buy or recommend Lexmark at any time.
1. Printhead errors
2. Continually have to unplug and re-plug to get printer to be recognized by computer
3. excessive ink use
4. Uses ALL colors to make a black and white print
5. Refuses to work when one color (ANY color) is out
6. Cost of ink is excessive and proprietary
This useless machine is currently saying "there is a problem with the printhead" even though I have cleaned the printhead repeatedly (this happens all the time but usually goes away after cleaning/re-setting). The screen is stuck on this message so I cannot even scan with the bloody thing! This printer has NEVER worked without problems. We don't have high volume useage but still nearly EVERY time we use it, something goes wrong.

Pros All in one SEEMS to work (at least as often as the printer itself works).
Wireless Networking

Cons time to get machine up and running (just short of forever...)
unreliable - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
uses VERY high quantity of ink
cost of ink is RIDICULOUSLY high AND Lexmark proprietary (so good luck if you run out and need it asap)

Summary Don't waste your time, energy, money, sanity or phone time (which you'll need to talk to Lexmark).
