Lexmark MC3224adwe Color Multifunction Laser Printer with Print, Copy, Fax, Scan and Wireless Capabilities, Two-Sided Printing with Full-Spectrum Security and Prints Up to 24 ppm (40N9050)

When I read so many negative reviews about this printer I was little skeptical of whether to or not to purchase it. Well, I have used this printer in my office and was blown by the quality of prints it does. One day when I saw a huge discount on 3224awde I just make a purchase blindly and I am glad that I have invested in right thing. Here are some of the pros & cons about this printer.Pros:1. Print quality is best in this class of printer. I have compared it with HP 479fdw and color prints from hp doesn’t even come close to quality of lexmark.2. Color touchscreen provides great advantage of more controlled printing experience.3. Network connectivity and ease of access from ios or android device comes handy during the times when you are on phone and want to print something immediately without starting your laptop.4. It works great with mac, windows or iphone.5. Great customer serviceCons:1. It is super heavy. If you are not taking proper precautions while moving it from one place to another you might break your back or damage printer badly.2. It performs poor with windows and thats why it has been notorious when it comes to reviews. I had to cancel my print jobs many times on windows but small tweaks or a restart resolves the issue. Good thing is they have great customer service. In case of any issues you can call them and they will guide you until your issues is resolved.Final thoughts:If you are windows lover and love ease of access you might probably hate some of the complex troubleshooting other Operating Systems involved. Then this is not for you.If you are a techie person and love complex engineering and powerful experience then this printer is for you.

This is a really good little color laser multifunction printer. I’m on macOS and I was wary of a few negative reviews about the lack of Apple software for this unit, but I have a friend who is a Lexmark dealer and authorized repair center, so I thought it was worth the risk.It’s true that there is no Mac driver for this unit, but you don’t need it. Unpacking and setting up was easy… And using the free Lexmark iOS app to set up my Wi-Fi connection couldn’t have been simpler. My Mac Pro saw the printer instantly and I was up and running in two minutes.And while there is no Lexmark software to run this printer… I already owned VueScan, A third-party scanning software… And it runs this printer perfectly, including all of the options for resolution, flatbed scanning, document feeder scanning, and everything else. You can also access all of the printers options through your web browser by locating the printers address on your home network.So… Absolutely a joy to set up and use with my Mac Pro running Mojave.

i couldn't handle replacing dried up ink any longer due to the cost of replacing the ink. did a lot of research regarding laser printers and finally decided to bite the bullet and get one. i am well aware of the cost of replacing the toners of which there are four with a color printer. i don't print that much so hopefuly i won't have to replace them all at one time, and if i do then i will deal with it then. i was concerned as to the quality of a color printed page and i have no complaints at all. installation of the printer was a son of a gun but eventually i got it done. instructions have a lot to be desired but once the install was completed i was happy. i have had the printer now for about a month and still give it a thumbs up.

I'm not tech savvy, so set up for me was a pain initially. Once I called tech support, the process became much easier. Apparently, there was a software issue with this batch of printers and the problem I was having was well known to the the service rep. He very quickly was able to navigate me through the menus and updates. He was super friendly and very efficient. Once the set up was complete, this printer has been absolutely flawless! Despite being a bit on the heavy side, it operates easily and prints with very good quality. I switched over to toner from ink jet, and I haven't looked back. I anticipate this printer serving me well for years to come.
