Lexmark P3150 All-In-One InkJet Printer

I have had this printer for over 2 years and it has not missed a beat. It prints great pictures and very clear graphs and printed material. Big projects or small this is a versatel printer. It has a it's own editing software and the cartridges are affordable. You can also use the Wal-Mart Brand and save some cash there.

I originally bought this simply because it was reasonably priced and had card reading capability. I discovered it is my dream printer. It churns out both color and black printing on cheap or luxury paper. The cartridges are easy to replace. The scanner software lets me use my preferred photo editor, Microsoft PhotoEditor, and the scanning options cover a wide range. It also lets me scan multiple items into a PDF file, which is valuable because we're involved in a lawsuit and it's easier for me to store legal papers that way. The OCR software works well, although you have to know to install it separately. The printer does pull paper in sort-of sideways, but most of the time it prints straight anyway -- I use Word's label printing option with it all the time to print one particular label and 95% of the time the label I selected is printed exactly right. I sell quite a bit and this is the printer I use to print my shipping labels from Paypal (on the half-sheet Avery labels). I like pulling the memory card out of my Sony Mavica, putting it into the card reader, and letting the software automagically copy the photo files into a designated folder on my hard drive and erase them from the memory card. The black ink cartridges are very easy to refill with the Stratitec kit I bought at Sam's; the color cartridges are more of a pain but still easy enough when I consider how much money I'm saving.

It's not perfect, of course. The software lacks flexibility to let me set my preferred printing, scanning, and photo copying options. Having to know that the OCR software has to be installed separately, and finding it on the install CD, is a nuisance. Sometimes when there is a lot or a little paper in the feed tray, it pulls multiple sheets through or won't pull anything through at all. But by and large, it is the most flexible and reliable printer I've found for anywhere near the money, and I'm so worried about the day my current one dies that I've bought a couple of replacements to store until needed. I'm also currently buying a couple because my daughter, off at college, has decided she wants her own printer and my son decided he wants his own printer too. By giving each a P3150, not only am I giving them reliable, inexpensive printers, but we'll all be able to save money by using the same printer cartridges that I already know how to refill.

I decided to buy this printer for work. It is a fairly good printer. The offered price is great and the seller is a trusted powerseller. I also use the copy machine.

Thank you for selling this product !

This is a great piece of equipment. It came all wrapped in factory packaging, works like I want/need it to!

I love !!! this printer, all other reviews are true, but if you have windows vista it might not work. I just bought a new computer and we couldn't get it to work with the new windows vista, but should work with windows xp and windows 2000.we were running windows xp and had no trouble at all and having the CD to reinstall might have helped too!! lexmark's web sight doesn't list this printer anymore.

IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS VISTA CALL LEXMARK FIRST,BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR PURCHASE OF A NEW OR USED lexmark P3150

I bought this printer about 4 years and it has never failed me. I used the scanner and copier functions almost as much as the printer. I had to stop using it because I bought a new computer with Vista and it isn't compatible with Vista. But it works extremely well with XP. I can honestly say that there is nothing I dislike about this printer and I would recommend it for anyone using Windows 2000 or XP.

I love it because i had one just like it, I dislike it because it dont work. the reson I buy it was to give to my grand daughter.
