This printer has been an absolute lifesaver throughout my degree. As I near the end of my studies I will review the most reliable piece of electrical equipment in my life. This printer originally cost around £35 when I bought my desktop computer 3 years ago. I chose it because it was on special offer, and had a scanner inside it as well. The scanner is brilliant, there dont seem to be any scanners for music students, so I and many other students have used this great feature in my printer. For all my practical music exams you have to provide copies of your music to the examiners. Now Im not going to queue in the library for an hour to wait whilst ...  Read the complete review

This gets the job done, and thats all you can ask. Be aware, though, that actually buying the Cartidges can be a little stressful, either because the numbers are popular (17/27, I believe) or the places that SHOULD stock them, well, dont. Typically, the packaged cartidges, colour and black together, price at around the £32 mark, which is quite expensive, but I could recommend that you get a professional refiller to do it for around £7 each, if you still have the old cartridges. Besides from that, the printer has nothing wrong with it at all. It sometimes seems that the paper that is inserted is going in slanted by a couple of degrees, but ...  Read the complete review

I have two Lexmark printers (including an X1270) and even for someone as computer literate as me, the amount of time I have invested in trying to get my printers to work makes them extremely expensive and they still don't work. Why? Well, part of the software that comes with Lexmark printers is almost like a virus that takes over your Windows PC's print spooler and, if you search the internet for "Lexmark""spooler" you'll see links to this problem. You have to forensically get into the guts of your operating system to dig out the debris uninstalling Lexmark printers leaves behind to have any hope of using printers on your PC if the Lexmark ...  Read the complete review

I brought this all - in - one scanner a few months ago, this is the second lexmark I have brought, the other was about 6 years ago, and that was a great printer, which I had no problems with lasted me a long time. If you find space a problem, then here is the solution for that tight computer space, the Lexmark X1270 is the answer, it has got two seperate lids, one for the scanner and the other for access to the ink cartridges, the lid for the ink compartment lifts onto a hinge, which means you dont have to fight with it to get the cartridges in. It has a pull-out tray so if you are printing more than one page, you will find this benificial to ...  Read the complete review
