Pros: Color Printing and Copying and a Scanner to boot
Cons: Questions about sturdiness

We were recently in need of a photo-quality printer at the credit union. Trying to conserve funds in the current environment we also wanted a machine that could serve as a copier at our car sales without weighing a ton. After testing a few printers we...

Pros: Great price, flatbed scanner, ease of setup and use.
Cons: No USB cable included, other minor.

Almost didn't buy the X83 due to reading mixed-bag reviews here and elsewhere. Owner opinions seemed to be either really bad or really good (strange). Was considering a comparable HP model instead, but similar mixed opinions on it. Settled on the Lexmark...

Pros: Low price, ease of operation
Cons: A bit noisy, flimsy, sometimes blurry, software average

Let me start this by saying that I have an OfficeJet G85 at home as my "all-in-one" machine. I'll also iterate that I spent close to $800 for it a couple of years ago.

For the office, I needed something that had decent color print/copy/scan...

Pros: Easy to use, monitors ink volume levels, good scans
Cons: a bit large and noisy

My five year old HP deskjet finally gave up the ghost, so it was time for a replacement. My wife spotted the X83 at Costco and decided that we needed to have an all in one and that way we could get rid of our scanner too... I'm still not too sure on...

Pros: Good output for Print and Scan.
Cons: Bulky and Noisy

Both my scanner and my printer were crying for an upgrade, so I decided to hv a glance at the Multi-functional machines. The final game was between the Lex and an HP Office Jet priced US$ 30 more.
The quality of print and scan on both machines were...

Pros: Clear Picture, Scans, Copys, and Prints. Fair Price.
Cons: USB cable does not come with it.

This printer's feeding mechanism is excellent, I have never had a problem with any paper jams yet. You just put the paper in the top and let it go through the feeder.
This printer's text quality is very good, you can read it real good. You can make...

Pros: • Great features • Rubberized buttons and quality plastic.
Cons: • May wreak havoc on your system if you own a PDA. • Communication problems.

Lexmark makes great products at affordable prices. Unfortunately, the X83’s driver feels like a BETA. This time, friendly phone & e-mail support reps can't make up for a software driver that has not undergone enough real-world testing to pass muster....

Pros: Great price, great photo quality color copies/scans, great value!!
Cons: Noisy, lengthy time to copy in photo mode. Tends to add too much red.

Because of extensive graphics work, I needed to replace my printer and scanner. I was tired of the clutter of a fax, printer and scanner, so I thought I'd check out the multifunction machines. I had been warned that most were no good. They couldn't have...

Pros: Nice print quality, quiet and quick
Cons: Bad scans, flaky, cheap plastic box/hinges, cant clean underside glass.

It all depends on what your expectations of a 3 in 1 machine for under $200 is capable of and how long you expect it to last.

One disappointment after another. I wrote a 4 Star review praising the print quality but later deleted the review....

Pros: Excellent print quality Ease of use
Cons: BIG machine A little noisy... No walk-up faxing

I purchased my X83 at Costco for $179.00. For the price, you couldn't beat it. I had made a 'mistake' by purchasing a Xerox Workcentre 740cx (a mistake only because it didn't have a flat bed scanner...otherwise, another GREAT product made by Lexmark,...

Pros: SOMETIMES, IT WILL RUN WITH NO PROBLEMS!
Cons: MOST OF THE TIME, IT DOESN'T WORK!

I have Lexmark X83 printer that is connected to my Emachine personal computer, at my work place. I know not to count on it for anything of importance. I tried to, but, sometimes, WISH-craft is just not enough!

The printer does have excellent...

Pros: dont need to turn on your PC for common tasks. excellent photo quality output
Cons: software installation is difficult

Firstly i must say that i have owned this printer only for a few days so this is just a preliminary review.
I bought the printer from Costco. My main incentive for buying it was the fact that i could make 8.5"x11" enlargements from my 4"x6" photo...

Pros: stand alone color copier, very good print quality, good price for a All-in-one
Cons: did not come with installation disk

When I bought this All-in-one the installation disk was not included in the box so I called Lexmark and told them that I did not get the installation disk. They told me that they would send the installation disk and it will be sent to me by regular mail...

Pros: 3 in one
Cons: Software difficult to install and does not work well with XP

Having just bought a new computer, I thought that it was time to get rid of my Lexmark 1000 also. We first bought this machine from DELL and had nothing but problems. The power button didn't work and XP could not locate the drivers though they were...

Pros: On-Board Photocopy feature easy to use; Prints well Quick and easy to set-up
Cons: Photos are not clear, noisy operation, software needs improvement, reliability questionable.

I received my first Lexmark X83 as a Christmas gift, and it's already been replaced due to a mechanism failure. I'm hoping it's an uncommon occurrence.

At any rate, I'm very happy with the print quality of this printer when it comes to black...
