General Comments

The Lexmark X73 is one of those 3-in-1 printers that you see in the store and think. WOW! Three in One, what a great buy I can scan pictures, and copy, and print them, Wow! Well if you see the Lexmark X73, just start screaming in pain or tell the manager of the store they have junk, cause they do. The Lexmark X73 is a pain in the butt from the get-go, once you install it, dont mess with the USB cord, I think I have had to reinstall the drivers for this printer going on about 65 times, no exageration. This printer if anything is just for typing, no pictures, just text. If you try to print a picture you'll must likely come out with a huge blur and a few streaks across the paper, and a tint of either blue or yellow. You might as well use your printer paper as toilet paper, it'll be better use. The Scanner makes it look like you scanned a newspaper, extremely blurred and degraded. Just don't even look at the Lexmark X73, it belongs in the trash then rather next to your computer.

    The Lexmark X73 is a joke. Everything that the previous reviewer has cited has occurred with this 3 in 1 printer. Purchased new sets of USB cables, have installed, uninstalled, had the electrician put in a separate electrical circuit. Nothing but nothing will get this printer to print and scanning photos is unavailable. Will give credit to the online techs but they don't really seem to have many ideas or work arounds. Never, never purchase a Lexmark X73 unless you want to waste money in which case send me the money so I can purchase another different brand.
