Lexmark X6170

Pros: Print quality, software ease install and use, solidly built, convenient buttons, quiet

Cons: Not speedy printer for quality

The Bottom Line: Multifuction printer, quality printouts if not mind slow speed (on par with the competition speedwise), solidly built, easy to use software, convenient buttons for routine tasks

Review: I bought this multifunction printer/copier/scanner/fax as needed a replacement for my aging HP710. I tried replacing it with another HP but gave up with that after 1*GB* bloatware install horror which is the topic of another Epinions review I wrote. It ...

Pros: multi-page feed for copy/scan/fax; color; robust

Cons: slow print, photo scanning not so great

Review: The layout of the Lexmark 6170c is well done, although a little on the large side. Paper handling is great, with a multi-page feed as well as flatbed just like the large copiers at Kinko's. A great plus is the ability to scan multiple pages to Adobe ...

Pros: Low initial cost, ease of installation, scanner speed, functionality of the fax machine

Cons: The insanely expensive replacement ink cartridges, no Linux driver support, occasional paper feed problems

The Bottom Line: If you use Windows, and want an average machine, this printer is for you. Due to the lack of Linux support, I can't recommend this printer.

Review: I purchased this printer because it was on sale. . .I had been pleased with a Z23 that I received for free with a computer purchase a couple years ago, and I was in the market for an All in One machine. The price was right (under 150.00), so I picked it ...

Pros: Has the ability to fax, copy & scan. Good quality copies.

Cons: Expensive ink cartridges. Paper jams easily. Faxes do not hold in memory.

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this printer. The paper jams and the hardware error I keep getting make this product unreliable to me.

Review: When I purchased my Lexmark X6170, I was really only shopping for a new fax machine. But when I saw this all-in-one, which included a printer, copier, scanner and fax machine, I thought, why not? So I happily invested in this Lexmark X6170, deciding that ...

Pros: multi-function capacity, good for a small business

Cons: Printing program runs pages together, copies come out very light and fuzzy

The Bottom Line: I would not buy this machine if I had the chance to do it over, printing each page individually is a nightmare

Review: I bought the Lexmark 6170 to replace an HP Photo printer, I still can't decide if it is a step up or not. Just a to provide a little usage history, I own a small Resume Service and I felt that I needed a printer made more for actually printing than for ...

Pros: Low price, useful, many features, flatbed, multi-feed, stand-alone fax, etc. Print speed & quality ok.

Cons: Very irritating to me to spend many hours trying to keep one of them working.

The Bottom Line: I recommend avoiding this unit. I wish I could recommend it, but I literally spent as much time trying to keep it printing as I did using it.

Review: I've had two of these in the last couple of years. The first one worked great for about a year, then the modem failed, shortly after the warranty expired. I still have it, it scans great, and prints well, except that I have frequent paper jams. I ...

Pros: Great price.

Cons: Inept customer support. Bug laden drivers.

The Bottom Line: Run the other way. Avoid Lexmark. Reasons above.

Review: Based upon this product, I would never buy another Lexmark product again. The main reason being lack of or inept technical support. Problem #1: The copier function does not copy to the extreme margins of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper ; Problem #2: the tech ...

Pros: handsome design, blue glow, price, good scanner

Cons: printing

The Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER EVEN IF THERE'S A GUN TO YOUR HEAD. DEATH IS PREFERABLE TO THE FRUSTRATIONS YOU WILL NO DOUBT EXPERIENCE.

Review: I bought this piece at Best Buy for $174 after rebate. It's handsome, emits a lovely blue glow and is easy to install. I was pretty pleased with the scanner. But the printing - the main intended function of this machine - is lackluster at best. ...
