Lexmark spent too much time and money trying to force customers to buy their grossly overpriced ink and forgot to build a good printer. Their own cartridges have to be cleaned weekly or they plug. The paper feed is a piece of junk. The on line service is no help. There is a reason they GIVE these printers away with complete systems. The 1100, the 1150, and the rest of the Lexmark lineup are total junk. Stay away!!!

I'll keep it short and sweet: you buy cheap, you get cheap. I only purchased the 1100 Jetprinter as my Epson Stylus Color IIs died on me and I needed something immediately to print a report for school. What a waste of hard-earned money: don't even waste your time comparing this product to other printers, go with an HP or Canon instead. With the 1100, I experienced frequent paper jams, especially with size 10 envelopes, and it went through ink faster than my Epson Stylus Color IIs or my Lexmark z23. Drop this bugger and run for the hills!

I got this printer bundled with the computer I bought. The
quality of this printer is remarkably bad. It has a
cheap paper feed mechanism that "eats" paper through the
top. Paper jams with nearly every print job. A 10 page
paper can take as long as 45 minutes!!!! Even the
construction of the unit uses inferior plastic. Everytime
I open it up to clear a paper jam, I'm afraid the
plastic will break.

This was an incrediby poor unit for Lexmark to use as
an introduction model. My frustration level with this printer
was so off the charts, that I would never buy a Lexmark
under ANY circumstances.

I picked this up at a yard sale, yes yard sale for [$]. The woman had used it a few times until buying another printer. (It came in the computer package) She didn't have the cord so I called Lexmark and they promptly sent one free of charge. The audio is wonderful on this printer and it is cool to hear it say paper loading...etc. Although, I have HP, NEC, and Epson printers...this one is used on a daily basis for everyday printing. (I use my photo printer for photos) It rarely has a paper jam unless I load wrong or have a messed up piece of paper. For the money it is a great deal!

I totally agree with the reviewer "K. Chaudhry (USA)". I am just having a problem with it know (Feb 2010) but I think I bought a flawed, remanufactured ink cartridge. I printed so much with this machine over the years (8+), 3-4x per week (documents, photos, charts, etc.) It served me well. I do not have any regrets! It/was a very basic, no-frill machine. I just hope all I need is a new cartridge. I am awaiting my new Lexmark cartridge and hope to continue using it for a longer time. Thanks, Lexmark.

This is a nice printer for the money. (You'll spend more in cartridges in a year than you spend on the printer.) The resolution is solid and worth the wait. It's a perfect, low-cost home solution for your color printing needs.

The paper feed always gets jammed and usually tries to suck several pages through at the same time, or none at all. This is the worst.

i recived this printer "free" with the purchase of a computer a few years back, and have hated every moment with it. it was poor printing quality thats looks more like a dot matrix print. the ink is too expensive and the printer eats it quickly. it also has issues handling paper as well, it has to be fed in piece by piece or it will jam, and the printer is also very slow, so hope you dont have to be anywhere too soon.

I bought mine almost two years ago. During the first year, I started having problems with feeding the paper. Now, I have to feed in one sheet at a time and sit and watch it while it prints or else it will jam up. It still prints good quality even after two years. It is kinda slow though.

I really like my printer. It has really done great with all of my printing projects. I'm very pleased!
