Over the years I've purchased three or more Lexmark printers. I've had to replace all of them because the cover on the black ink cartridge carrier breaks off. This seems to be a weak spot on this product. Overall, other than this problem, I've found the printers to do a good job. This needs to be updated. I won't buy any more of this brand because of this.

This Lexmark 1200 Printer. Is. TERRIBLE. If it prints at all, it prints crooked, and usually it doesn't even print, even if it has ink! It scans all right, but you might as well save yourself some money and just buy a scanner.

I spend more time clearing paper jams or putting the cartridges in cartridge flush to unclog the print heads than actually printing.
I bought the Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one on special offer from a supermarket, then I discovered the price of the cartridges were more than the printer. I now refil them myself which is very easy, Just prise the top off the colour and squirt the ink into the appropriate sponges and tape the top back on. Black is a case of drilling the vent hole wider to take the needle. Tell the printer its new and the ink levels are shown as full.

Used this Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one printer for about a year with XP and did the job ok, although now that I've tried to use the printer with Vista I get a "not communicating" like error message, it does scan on Vista though.

This printer is a piece of poor. It hasn't ever worked correctly since we got the thing. Sometimes it'll print a few pages, then stop in the middle of a job and never complete it, no matter what we do. There's no mechanical issue; it scans and copies just fine, although the quality is low. We've even had an instance where it refused to print a page, then woke us up at 2 am a few weeks later when it started cachunking along. Anyone who values their sanity, or their ability to get work printed, should avoid this printer like the plague.

Very good quality printer although if you use it quite alot then it can get quite cosly with purchasing ink.

Probably cost of ink cartridges, but that's a problem with all printers. Also, the print head will dry up if not used for a couple of weeks or so.
I highly recommend this printer. If it breaks, I will just buy another one.

Easy to install and decent printing. The cost of the ink cartridges are more than the cost of the printer! I do not recommend Lexmark 1200 series. If the cost of replacement cartridges were reasonable it would be a good buy.

I'd recommend this All-In-one for people who aren't too obsessed with prefect photo quality. It prints word documents well, and can cope with higher quality colour documents such as power points too. It's inexpensive, to be honest other printer such as Epson had timers on them which only allow them to last about 18 months (so why spend the extra with just as good printer standard). I have yet to know if this Lexmark will pack in at 18 months, but we shall wait and see.
Hope that was helpful.

I bought a Lemark 1200 for use with Windows XP and it worked I bought a Windows Vista and it kept saying there is a problem communicating with the printer. I then attached it to another computer (XP) and it worked but still would not work with Vista.

Lexmark 1200 series All-in-one has good scanning capabilities, but the printer itself either takes several sheets at once or grabs a sheet by the bottom right corner, creating a paper jam. I would not recommend this printer I feel it's a complete let down.

Need help with paper feed which always takes several sheets at a time and is difficult to load. Some times the screen says printing started runs through printing process and paper comes out blank.
