Lexmark 1200

Over the years I've purchased three or more Lexmark printers. I've had to replace all of them because the cover on the black ink cartridge carrier breaks off. This seems to be a weak spot on this product. Overall, other than this problem, I've found the printers to do a good job. This needs to be updated. I won't buy any more of this brand because of this.

Bought the Lexmark 1200 a couple of years ago to replace a cheap one that got trashed. Never worked properly. Bought new cartridges, still poor or nothing. Worked as a scanner only.

I use to ahve a laser printer but becase I am unemployed I could not afford a replacemant cartrigde at £180 That may seem alot but I had been using the printer pretty regular ona day to day basis from 2000 to last year 2010.

So to svae money ! Ha ! I bought a Lexmark 1200 The scanner is hand and well layed out on how to do and edit scans but as a printer ? Ha ! I might as well bought one of those John Bull printing pad sets I had when I was a kid which is over 40years ago. The Cartridge's dry up if you don't use then ! The Paper Freed ! Well !

I have a lexmark all in one printer can not get to work at all, I am using a lap top with Vista, can anyone please help in any way.

This Lexmark 1200 Printer. Is. TERRIBLE. If it prints at all, it prints crooked, and usually it doesn't even print, even if it has ink! It scans all right, but you might as well save yourself some money and just buy a scanner.

I spend more time clearing paper jams or putting the cartridges in cartridge flush to unclog the print heads than actually printing.

I bought the Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one on special offer from a supermarket, then I discovered the price of the cartridges were more than the printer. I now refil them myself which is very easy, Just prise the top off the colour and squirt the ink into the appropriate sponges and tape the top back on. Black is a case of drilling the vent hole wider to take the needle. Tell the printer its new and the ink levels are shown as full.

Used this Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one printer for about a year with XP and did the job ok, although now that I've tried to use the printer with Vista I get a "not communicating" like error message, it does scan on Vista though.

This printer is a piece of poor. It hasn't ever worked correctly since we got the thing. Sometimes it'll print a few pages, then stop in the middle of a job and never complete it, no matter what we do. There's no mechanical issue; it scans and copies just fine, although the quality is low. We've even had an instance where it refused to print a page, then woke us up at 2 am a few weeks later when it started cachunking along. Anyone who values their sanity, or their ability to get work printed, should avoid this printer like the plague.

Due to the increasing cost of ink, I won't be buying this type of Lexmark printer ever again. I tried to save some money, got a great printer for the price, but am now paying through the nose for replacement ink carts...

I like the machine and all that it does, for a novice like me it is easy to use, but when I buy a new one I will first check the price of the inks, to buy two inks, I might as well buy a new printer with a years guarantee. Well recommend Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one.
