My X1240 arrived in a week from Amazon. It included a USB cable and both the economy black and color ink cartridges. Using the included Software disc - it didn't work with my Windows Vista Laptop. So off to the Lexmark web site for the Vista Drivers. The upgrade drivers work fine. Full operation on printing, copying, and scanning. Even has a voice prompt announcing start and stop printing actions. The all in one center icon is a joy to use. Very easy to command the printer from the laptop. Print quality is adequate but not on par with the multi-tank printers. But perfectly adequate for quick printouts. I got tired of transferring documents to a memory stick or E-Mailing to my upstairs printer, the X1240 is a nice inexpensive add on to my laptop. Ink is expensive $60 for the twin pack (bought printer for $48 with free shipping)

I am on remote assignment for two years (111 miles from home). I have a company laptop but no printer unless I go to site office. I have a portable Canon C80 printer but the cost of the ink cartridges are over $50 for the colour and black.

The Lexmark X1240 was on sale at Target for $34 plus I had to buy a black cartridge ($17). I recommend the higher capacity cartridges are about $7-10 more.

Setup and running in 10 minutes. Scan and copied tests came out fine.

I purchased this printer off the Amazon web site, that was shipped from another store via Amazon, called Tiger Direct. The box reached me 3-4 days later, in perfect condition, The box contained instructions, a disc for software installation, the printer/scanner itself, the a/c adapter cord, and a color ink cartridge (you must by a black cartridge if you want one. Note: You must provide your own USB cord. I knew this already as most printers I have had required me to have my own, so I already had one ready from an older printer. Installation was quick, turn on your computer, remove the wrapping from the printer, plug it in, turn it on, add paper, add the ink cartridged and install software and your ready to go. This printer prints quickly, even with no black ink cartridge it does well for black text, colors and photos are superb, I have also used the copy and scan options and they came out great. For the price, this printer is awesome.

This printer works well enough, not good for printing photos but that's not why I bought it anyway. It does print fairly slowly, not near as fast as my old HP that quit. The price was right! It bothers me that ink is SO expensive. That's where we get gouged. It's crazy that it's cheaper to buy a new printer with ink, than to just buy new ink! Is some company coming out with quality ink at a reasonable price? I heard that 3M is?

Great value! Have no complaints and the price was very reasonable. Item was securely packed and delivered promptly. Very pleased! Would recommend as a best buy.

I have printed a few things like papers for school and receipts from the internet and I am very pleased with this product

This Lexmark is advertised as "all-in-one" but to me that suggests that it functions as a scanner, printer, and copier. However, in order to even simply copy it must be attached to a computer which is powered up. It would be more efficient if it functioned as a stand-alone copier. Otherwise, it is as advertised and probably worth the minimal price. I have used several of these all-in-one printers over the years and this is the first one that will not function as a simple copier by itself.

The Lexmark X1240 Color All in One Inkjet Printer is not the best or the worst printer you can buy. The paper feed might have problems only if you stack (100 or more) papers in the slot. Scanning/copying is slow but the quality is excellent. Printing is slow but like the scanning/copying, the quality is excellent. The Lexmark All in One Center program is very easy to navigate (on the pc). The printer itself only has 5 buttons on it so it's easy to operate. The main gripe is the ink cartridges. They don't last long and they are costly. That is how printer companies make their money so that is expected. You can shop around for cheaper ink and it won't mess up your printer. One last very important note, the printer does NOT come with a USB cable so have one on hand and it comes only with the color ink cartridge (you'll need to buy the b/w). In a nut shell, it is a "good" buy if you're not too concerned about speed. Overall, I'll admit, there have been a few printers I might have bought before I actually bought this one but still, I'm satisfied.

There was some trouble with the installation but once we crossed that hurdle it has been absolutely hassle-free to use. We got it free using points from a credit card so we cannot complain! :)

The printer works fine and produces a quality print job. The problem was that the shipping charges were excessive and almost doubled the cost of the printer. We tried to cancel the order when we saw the charges, but were not permitted to do so.

Buy Lexmark printers, but NOT FROM THIS VENDOR!!!!!!!!
