Lexmark X7170

Pros: Does it all fairly well.

Cons: Copying and photo printing qualities adequate, but not exceptional.

The Bottom Line: For the price it's a good unit.

Review: Years ago, I used to collect beer bottles. That was a fun hobby, and I amassed a huge assortment of them, almost 1400 at one point. But they took up a lot of space, and so when I moved from Rhode Island to Georgia almost five years ago I...

Pros: Does it all. Print, copy, fax, scan, photos.

Cons: Printed product is poor.

The Bottom Line: Great for personal use, poor for home business.

Review: I recently purchased a new computer and this printer was included in the bundle which is the only reason I ended up with this item. When I got home I found that this all-in-one sells for around $150. It sat in the box for awhile because I didn t...

Pros: Prints and copies acceptably, faxes, scans, and photo prints well, and independently of printer.

Cons: Expensive cartridges. Color copying is only fair.

The Bottom Line: Does many things flexibly. If it lasts much more than a year, it's a bargain.

Review: A few months ago, I purchased a Lexmark X7170 All Purpose Printer. The all purpose refers to the fact that it is also a copier, scanner, fax machine, and photo printer, features that can be accessed independently of a computer. I go through a lot of...

Pros: Good Scanning functionalities, small footprint

Cons: Mediocre color print quality, slow desktop software, printer last 18 months before it died

The Bottom Line: To be skipped. Printer quality is too poor and sluggish software. You are much better to go with an HP printer

Review: I've been using the Lexmark X7170 All-in-One printer for a while and I must say from the get go that coming from using HP printers, this is a great disappointment. Just as an fyi, my sister was also using the same printer and the same issues are on...

Pros: Very easy to use & setup. It comes with a great productivity package.

Cons: Didn't come with a USB cord. It's big (but light).

Review: I've used a lot of printers, and for the money, this one is the best. It's fairly large, but lightweight. Along with scanning, copying, faxing, and printing, it also prints excellent store-quality 4x6 photos, and comes with a productivity pack that...

Pros: Great price, can be found for under $50 on sale

Cons: Not a high end printer, but you get what you pay for!!

The Bottom Line: Lexmark has always been my favorite brand, they are very well built.

Review: When you need a reliable all in one work horse in your home office or work place, then the Lexmark X7170 All In One unit is a good choice. The quality of the text and the graphics are not the best, but this is not a high end printer. It does boast...

Pros: Low cost. Design. Auto document feeder. Automatic print head alignment. Multifunction software. Ink level display.

Cons: So-so printing quality. Reliability?

The Bottom Line: A great machine to consider, but look elsewhere first before making a final decision. Purchase an extended warranty from the retailer as warranty is too short.

Review: I purchased this machine about one year ago, primarily because of its design, partly because of its low price. It looks like a serious office machine with its sleek curves, metallic accents, and blue illumination.

I was quite impressed...

Pros: It was nice while it lasted

Cons: Piece of crap

Review: We bought this printer and had it for over a year. Just long enough for the warrenty to expire. I just wish we had started using it right away because when the printer needed new ink after a few months of use and I went to change it I got a right...

Pros: nice looking, fairly quite

Cons: faxing large documents, slow scanning, poor fax trans speed.

Review: If you will be sending a lot of faxes using the Auto Doc Feeder forget buying this one! it jams and doesn't send the fax through, pulls in multi pages and sucks in sideways. Plan on sending multiple times to get it to work and/or babysitting the...

Pros: None

Cons: No OSX 10.5 Support

Review: This piece of junk printer doesn't work if you have a MAC with Leopard 10.5. Lexmark claims they have drivers and that it is supported but it doesn't work. Cheap quality, no support, lousy all around. Just search Lexmark x7170 and OSX Leopard 10.5...
