Lexmark Color JetPrinter 1100 InkJet Printer

Pros: Lasted a long, long time
Cons: Ink consumption and problems with ink jets clogging up

I recently retired my Lexmark 1100 to the recycle bin but only after a full 7 years of faithful service. This little printer was the second printer I ever bought and has proven to be one of the best computer peripherals I have ever had. At the time I ...

Pros: Cheap, good for home users.
Cons: Single cartridge system, slow speeds, low quality, shall i go on?

Truthfully, the printer is not that bad for the money, but I feel that people should know what the printer does best. Lexmark makes some higher quality printers like the 3200 or the Z51 which better suit people for today’s applications. I wouldn't...

Pros: Nice software that came with it. Picture quality wasn't to bad when it would work.
Cons: Broke down after 4 months. Ink runs to much, paper jams.

I received this printer as a Christmas present a couple years ago. For a cheap printer it worked fine for the first few months. As time went on I began to have more and more problems with it. I have decided to trash it and get myself a new one soon.
...

Pros: reasonable price
Cons: everything else

When I bought my computer system in 1994 it came with the Lexmark 1000 printer. I had no problems with this printer but in 1999 it was old and outdated. Since I liked Lexmark so much I decided to purchase their new 1100 series printer.

I...

Pros: Price and maybe size
Cons: Lots, read the review!

I purchased a Lexmark 1100 series printer about a year ago. At the time I thought it would be a good buy, now I'm just wishing I had put a few extra dollars towards another printer.

Why would I say this? Well, it is very finicky! Sometimes it...

Pros: Low Price, Professional-Looking Documents
Cons: Expensive Ink Cartridges

I got my Lexmark 1100 inkjet printer as part of a computer package. I figured it was probably a cheap model, since it was part of a package deal. At least I would learn how to work with it to figure out what it was that I REALLY wanted in a printer. But,...

Pros: Easy to set up
Cons: Frequent jams, frequent error messages, broke after a year.

.We got this printer over a year ago as a replacement for an old Citizen Dot-Matrix that had served us well. We were very excited--the salesman told us that this was a terrific little printer at a great price, and gosh, we would be so pleased with it....

Pros: small, cheap
Cons: horrible results

Just come to my house and pick this darned thing up. I'm serious, I hate it. I'd rather write things out by hand than use this printer. I bought the Lexmark 1100 about a year ago, because it was on sale at Sam's, and Lexmark is based in Lexington, KY.. I...

Pros: .....
Cons: .....

Why I Purchased This Product?
I purchased the Lexmark 1100 at my local Best Buy retailer, because I was short on money, and noticed that I could purchase this Printer for only around $65.00 top gun. I have to say, I didn't expect much for the...

Pros: Small, Cheap
Cons: Expensive ink, Goes through ink quickly, slow

We decided to get on of these cute little printers at work because we needed a new one and it was on sale for $50($100 minus a $50 mail in rebate). So we figured hey for 50 bucks and can't hurt. Well we were wrong.

...

Pros: compact; easy-to-install; pretty decent quality
Cons: Expensive cartridges; software sometimes forgets where printer is

I'm pretty pleased with this printer. After the rebate, I only paid about $40 for it, but it's one Achilles Heel is that I quickly made that up in cartridge prices.
The Lexmark 1100 installed very easily, and the Printing control panel Lexmark...

Pros: Good general purpose printer, reasonable speed for this class of printer
Cons: changing back & forth for color and B&W cartridge, less than average color quality for photos with 3-color cartridge

We recently purchased a refurbished Lexmark 1100 printer from computers4sure.com. We have a friend that purchased the same make and model of printer a couple of years back, and is still using it. We decided to purchase this printer because of the $50...

Pros: quality of documents are very impressive
Cons: na

I received the Lexmark printer as a gift and it has proven to be invaluable. I have had several big projects and my little Lexmark has come through for me every time. Usually my projects do not require me to use high quality ink which means I can use...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: paper jams

This year, Lexmark put out a new line of color printers; the Lexmark 1100, 3200, and the 5700 models. Each of these three are solid in value. My family now owns the Lexmark Color Jet printer 1100 for our home use. The Lexmark 1100 color jet printer is an...

Pros: Part of a computer package deal
Cons: Paper jams, slow

The old saying that you get what you pay for, couldn't be more accurate in the case of the Lexmark 1100 printer. I got this printer as part of a computer package at Best Buy. I was more concerned with the value of the computer than the printer so I...

Pros: Good price
Cons: Not compatable with Windows NT

I brought this printer for my son as a birthday present, I thought it was a good printer for the money. Which it was until I updated my computer to Windows NT, Lexmark printer 1100 does not support this windows, I have looked all over the internet for...

Pros: great quality
Cons: top feeder

After many changes from the different computers I have owned, the Lexmark 1100 turned out to be quite well. Plugging in a cartridge, I found that this printer created some of the greatest quality pictures on my professional glossy paper. There are a...

Pros: Cheap printer with cheap cartridges
Cons: slow, paper feeder doesn't work right

About a year and a half ago I purchased this printer. I didn't purchase it because it was top of the line, or because it had the best features available. I purchased it mainly because of the price.

At the time I had a black and white only...

Pros: small, somewhat quiet
Cons: doesn't work all the time,

We purchased our computer as a package deal, monitor, printer, scanner computer all for around 1000.00. After the nightmare of buying it,(read epinion on Damark International) we finally received it, and set it up.

I was surprised at the ease...

Pros: Quiet and shows stats
Cons: Paper jams easily and you have to hand feed the paper

This is a terrible printer! We got it when we bought our computer system as part of the package deal. This is the only part of the package deal I could have lived without.

The first time we used this printer it printed everything crooked. It...

Pros: Doesn't take much room, easy to install and use
Cons: Haven't found any yet

I bought this printer last year with my tax refund, and so far it has done it's job. I haven't had the problems that others have experienced with the 1100 either.

The quality of printed work is fine, I'm not doing a home business that relys...

Pros: Good Photo Output
Cons: Sheet Feed, Drivers, Speed, Quality

I paid all of 10.00 for this printer with a rebate offer. The cartridge alone is worth much more than that, but for my money, this printer has been well worth the 10 bucks. The retail on this was around $50 and if one was to pay this, I would...

Pros: Not bad quality for an older printer.
Cons: Expensive cartridges, one cartridge, slow.

I have a Lexmark Color 1100 Inkjet Printer. It only has one cartridge, so you have to switch between black and white and color. Its paper tray is unwieldy, jams often, and is a pain to load.

The quality of the black is really quite good for...

Pros: LOW PRICE ONLINE!!!
Cons: Just not a great printer

Well, as I noted with my Canon BJC-5000 review, there was quite a deal online for it. And there is with the Lexmark 1100 also! Basically, follow this URL:

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Tempermental

I have a Lexmark 1100 jetprinter. I would rather have a new box of Crayolas. I got the printer when my Dad gave it to us as part of a Christmas gift a year ago. On the whole, I would have rather picked out my own printer, done without for a while......

Pros: Colorful and Affordable
Cons: none found yet!

I have had a Lexmark 1100 Color Jetprinter for almost a year. I have found it to be a great printer. Compared to others I have used in the same price range, I believe it works the best. When I print, the ink flows on to the paper very smoothly and...

Pros: Sometimes, it works
Cons: Usually it doesn't

First of all, The only reason I am giving this printer 2 stars is that I have used mine so much. Call me cheap, but I may not buy another until this one completely putzes out or I throw it out the window in a berserker's rage. Believe me, I have used my...

Pros: Pretty cheap now that they're a bit old. Fairly good print quality, with a reasonable print speed.
Cons: Ink cartridges can be a little hard to come by, but you can order them direct from Lexmark online.

The Lexmark 1100 printer has served me well so far, in the 15 months that I've had it I don't think I've ever had a single problem with it. It gives me good quality black ink printing, and reasonably clear colour printing, so long as I'm not trying to...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Everything

I got my Lexmark 1100 as a gift well over a year ago. If I needed to print something everyday I would definitely go out and buy a new printer.

There are several things I see wrong with the Lexmark 1100 series.

First, lets...

Pros: Cost, ink monitor, good print quality, best for text
Cons: Frequent jams, spots and offset text occasionally

Go ahead and call me easily amused... But I really like my talking printer.

When I hit "print," a little window pops up on my screen and a female voice says, "Printing started." When it's done printing, she says,...

Pros: Nice picture quality
Cons: Can't say in less than 15 words!

When we purchased this printer, we were happy with the demo that printed relatively quickly (a *lot* faster than my previous printer, a HP 560C), and that the picture quality was very nice. When I think back on this, I can make the analogy of a puppy;...

Pros: Low price
Cons: Hassle, hassle, Hassle

Of all the printers I have owned or used, the Lexmark 1100 has been the lowest price and the biggest hassle. The quality that this printer puts out is average. Often colors are faded, and are not a decent representation of what is seen on the...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: flimsy paper trays

I bought this printer as a backup to my laser printer and so that I can print in color if I want. I decided on the Lexmark 1100 because it was $79 and had a $50 rebate from Lexmark so it was the least expensive option. I have purchased a Lexmark 5700...

Pros: Price, Price, Price
Cons: Poor speed and quality

I paid $20 for this printer. That right...$20.00. $70.00 sale price plus a $50.00 dollar rebate. I realize that that is less than one replacement cartridge is bound to cost me and trust me that I do keep in mind what I paid for this machine when...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: quality

We got this printer when we got the computer. We have had for about 6 months now. I am the own that uses it the most often. This is our first computer so we had pretty much no clue on how to do anything. I finally figured out that you can put more than...

Pros: Ease of use, cheap price, availability
Cons: Cheap manufacture/is not durable, paper jams

I bought my Lexmark 1100 with my first computer. As with other reviewers, my reasons for buying it were: it was cheap and available. It has been a serviceable machine with its share of problems.

The one thing I never had problems with was...

Pros: LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO USE, GREAT PRICE & VERY GOOD COPIES
Cons: A LITTLE SLOW ON COLOR COPIES

We already have a NEC SuperScript 660plus printer for the past 2 years and have been perfectly content with the item. Only problem was that it did not do color copies only black & white. When I saw the Lexmark products on sale, we decided to...

Pros: Cheap, small, easy to use printer program
Cons: Recently acting up (program error), one cartridge slot only, recommend re ink kit.

About two years ago, I bought the Lexmark 1100 for a cheap amount of $99. At first it was the most luxurious type of printer at the time. Unlike these big room consuming printers, Lexmark 1100 was a small printer that took only a small fraction of my...

Pros: For a cheap printer, it will do an O.K. job, but that's all.
Cons: The new "Compaq" and "Samsung" compliant cartridges don't work in it.

I bought the Lexmark 1100 Inkjet printer a couple years ago. It was my first. I bought it at Sun TV. A year later, Sun TV went out of business! Oh well. For a while, the Lexmark served my purposes.

How It Prints: Makes a lot of noise. Almost...

Pros: Low Price, High Quality, Long Cartridge Life
Cons: Cartridges are a liiiiiiiittle expensive, but they last a long time so it's not a big deal

The Lexmark 1100 was a free add-on when I purchased my IBM Aptiva two summers ago. As such, I was expecting a lesser quality printer. Boy was I wrong!!!

My printer is STILL on the same cartridge it had when I bought it, and believe me, I...

Pros: Cheap!
Cons: Uses lots of ink, paper jams.

I was looking for a cheap printer for my second computer. I knew I wouldn't do a lot of printing and it didn't need to be prefect quality. I got the Lexmark 1100 for $35 after a $30 rebate. The cost of the ink cartridge that came with it is $30 to...

Pros: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap
Cons: Slow printer, Small & Expensive Print Cartridges

The cheap Lexmark 1100 is often "bundled" with discounted computer systems. That's how I acquired this turkey. It is a VERY SLOW printer. I just printed a test page, and it took the Lexmark 2 minutes and 10 seconds to churn out a single page....

Pros: inexpensive, doesn't take up much space
Cons: bad paper feed, poor print quality

This is a very inexpensive printer that proves the old adage is true, you get what you pay for!

To start with, we have had frequent problems with the printer improperly feeding paper. It also will pull large amounts of paper through at the...

Pros: none
Cons: its a piece

before i left for college my freshmen year i purchased a new computer from office max. it came with a printer, that printer being the lexmark 1100. while i was standing in line to pay, a women in front of me commented that she had bought the same...

Pros: Cost Effective
Cons: Poor Image Quality

The Lexmark ColorJet 1100 Is a very goo printer. It is affordable (Cartridges from $20-30). The printing quality could however be better, It has its times where it smudges. And that brings me to another point, When it finish printing you can't touch...

Pros: great printer for the money
Cons: paper feed annoying

A good printer for the money. I have seen these for as low as $50 after rebate and it is easily worth it. The print quality is amazingly good, while not quite as nice as a HP still very good. My one complaint is that the paper feeding mechanism does...

Pros: Price, speed, DPS, Quality
Cons: It Lies To You

This is an excellent printer. I have had mine for about fifteen months now. The bad thing is this; It LIES to you!!! After printing for about four months, that is a lot of printing in my family, it said that our ink cartridge was low.

My...

Pros: works
Cons: not best quality, but ok

I bought this printer a couple of years ago because my old Cannon printer finally died. I chose the Lexmark 1100 because I was looking for a low cost printer, but it had to be a color printer.
This printer makes decent copies for the price although...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: poor quality on photo's

I got this printer in a Thanksgiving sale, and after rebates paid $9.99, so I did not expect a great printer. It was normally priced at $79.99, so it was, even at full price, an inexpensive printer. However, this little printer is doing ok.

...

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Jams easily, ink is very expensive

The Lexmark 1100 was the first printer I had for my computer. It started out great. The quality was very decent, and I was happy with the printing results.

However, the paper seemed to jam up quite often, or it would take through 2-3 sheets...

Pros: spare printer for quick jobs, very quick
Cons: Only prints a few pages before it jams up

You get what you pay for applies to the utmost here.
After buying this product with a mail in rebate I thought I was getting a bargain,of $49.00 boy was I wrong.

This printer goes through ink like my dog goes through his
Purina dog...

Pros: Price, quality of printing, quiet operation
Cons: price of replacement cartridges, job speed (slow)

The Lexmark 1100 was the printer that came in the package deal with my computer as well. I really haven't experienced many of the problems that others seem to have encountered with this.

I don't buy expensive paper & I have never had a...

Pros: cheap
Cons: poor quality

I bought this printer 18 months ago on the advice of a sales associate. He said it was a good basic printer. I have had alot of problems with it, I have returned two to the store and had them replaced because the malfunctioned.
The printer is slow...

Pros: The price is the deception...
Cons: To slow just all out pain in the buttocks.

I purchased this printer thinking I would need it for the typical stuff, kids school project, simple enough right? Well the Ink Cartriges are like candy to kids, they last very little, and the cost is much to high. The paper tray is something to...

Pros: nice price, great programs, prints very good
Cons: ink price

I like my printer it does what i want it too it prints almost photo quality prints, It's small and not real noisy like most printers. The programing doesn't take half my hard drive to run it. It prints fairly fast. I never have to remember to turn it on...
