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. ...
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....
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.
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...
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 I had no problems with this printer but in 1999 it was old and outdated.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.
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: 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.
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...
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: 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...
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, 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.

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: 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: quality of documents are very impressive Cons: na

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.

Purina dog...
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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
So why am I so suddenly prompted to spout off on a printer that I have had for almost a year? Because I had two papers due today, and because I finished so late last night, I figured hey, maybe I will just wake up a little early tomorrow and print them...
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: 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: 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: 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...
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, 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: 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: 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.
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: 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.
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: Price Cons: Not suitable for any work application
This printer is a dream if you are an occasional printer (i.e. mostly print web pages). I have also printed greeting cards and e-mails and it was great. Even the occasional photo showed up quite nicely.
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.

This printer makes decent copies for the price although...
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...
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: decent printer for the price Cons: not as good as more expensive models
When I bought my Lexmark 1100 I wanted nothing more than a cheap printer, and that is what I got. It isn't the highest quality, but it does the basic printing that I need to do.
It works fine for most projects. The printing is clear and easy...
Pros: Cheap, decent quality Cons: slow, many little problems

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...

The printer is slow...
Pros: price and print quality Cons: Auto paper feed doesn't work
What do you want for $49.00 ($99.00 minus $50.00 rebate). This printer is great if you don't have a lot to print. The print quality, both text and pictures, is very good. The program is easy to use and offers a lot of options. The unit is compact and...
Originally this printer came with a computer bundle I had purchased. (It was cheaper than buying the computer & monitor separately.) This printer is the lowest quality color printer I've had the displeasure of using. Though cheap, it only holds one...

I've had this printer for about 2 years now and it has go to go. To start the ink is very expensive. about $40 up to $50 bucks. I didn't even pay that much for the printer. It doesn't handle paper very well. it prints very slow, about 5 minutes to...
The best part about the Lexmark 1100 is the cost, and it also allows you to print color and black pages with one cartridge. It is also easy to install. However, that is about all that is good about this printer. Text looks more gray than black...
The Lexmark 1100 came with my computer as a package deal. I would have to say that you can't believe anything that Lexmark says about this particular model. It plain out sucks! It only holds about 30 pages at a time, it prints very slow and the quality...
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.

Pros: easy to install cartridges, pretty cheap, pretty good printing quality Cons: very slow, loads one sheet at a time
Warning: This is the worst printer ever! This printer came with as part of the computer system that I bought and I should have been suspicious when I saw that they were offering so much for such a cheap price. Now I know, they would have probably paid...
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: Its cheap, on screen ink display Cons: its cheap and misfeeds a lot
They should have named the Lexmark 1100 a jammer and not a printer. Why? Because everytime I use this very lame printer it jams. Instead of taking in one page at a time it will eat three or four. Not to mention that half of the time this...
Pros: Cheap Cons: Poor quality, holds hardly any paper.
I purchased this printer because it was cheap ($89) and i had heard Lexmark was a decent brand. However it turned out i had made a huge mistake, after a few months of use this printer started printing fuzzy pictures even after aligning the cartridge...

In June of 1999, I purchased an IBM Aptiva. Included with my package deal was a Lexmark 1100 printer. If I had known about the problems this particular printer possessed, I would have upgraded it.

Pros: Inexpensive Color Printer Cons: Paper Jams, Low Ink Capacity, Bad Alignment, Frustrating
How could a printer be so poorly engineered that it jams with every single print? That is correct, every single print jams! I have to hand feed the printer every sheet of paper that it prints, and even then I experience problems.

I have a Lexmark 1100 printer. In my opinion this printer leaves a lot to be desired. I note that this printer came with my computer but after a short period of time, and after making a mere 200 to 250 copies the printer decided to stop printing. My...

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....
This has to be the best printer in the whole world. The printer is so fast, that you brealy no that you printed. The ink cost about 34.00 to 42.00 dollars. The software is so easy to use, and so are the buttons on the printer. The printer is very fragile...
