x8350 performance July 3, 2008 I previously owned the x7350 printer (2 years old, 22,000 pages printed), and it performed ok. The x8350 appears to be working to the same caliber as the x7350. The printer is used in a work environment, mainly printing and scanning. Used high yield print cartridges #34 & #35. Did try using refilled cartridges from different places, but the ink smeared, so stayed with the new cartridges, but extended the number of pages printed (about 50%) by using the DRAFT mode. Also, even though there is an indicator when the ink is low (or empty), there is ink still in the cartridge, so continued to used until would get a printout that had print fading - usually 20-25 full sheets prints are still let in the "empty" cartridge.
I like the duplex feature, and in the properties I have the printer set to draft/duplex mode (this extends the number of pages printed by about 50% extra). The only problem I had with the x7350 is that occasionally the print would get stuck in the 'queue' and not print, then I would have to turn the printer off, disconnect, reboot the computer, all to clear out the print queue. In the 2 years this may have occurred 6 times. I like the printer (either model) because of the sturdiness, small footprint, non-expiring ink cartridges, draft/duplex capabilities, and price (1/2 the cost of the x7350). With Amazon free shipping, the printer arrived 2 days after ordering. The x7350 (2-y/o) will replace an HP135 (6-y/o).

I purchased this printer from Walmart. I didn't like the print quality eventhough it has many options. I had a HP Officejet 5500 series printer before which was simple userfriendly and the print quality was far better than this. This printer is noisy too
Excellent All-In-One January 2, 2008 I bought my first Lexmark X8350 over a year ago from Sam's Club. Since then, I've either recommended or purchased 3 more of these items for co-workers who said they enjoy using it. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of the display and multi-card reader, I would recommend the x7350 which I purchased for another co-worker. You'll be very pleased with the looks and speed of the printer along with the quality of the scanner. I don't use the fax option often but I've had no problem when I needed to fax an item.
As a matter of fact, I liked this printer so much, I look for this printer and couldn't find it except on Amazon where I immediately bought a 2nd one.
You'll be very happy with the looks, quality and speed of this item. You can't go wrong for the price of this item. Lexmark X8350 All-in-One Printer Plus Photo
beware Mac folks November 1, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I gave it one star because not allowed to give no stars. I have been buying printers for over 20 years and never thought to check on printer compatibility with first my Apples and later with my Macs. This is the first time I've purchased a product that was not compatible.I had to send this back because it doesnot have drivers for Macs. I think this should be made clearer in product info. I did double check with the Lexmark tech support, before returning and they confirmed the lack of compatibility
DON'T BUY FROM LEXMARK June 7, 2007 0 out of 10 found this review helpful
I had a different Lexmark all-in-one printer and it was a piece of garbage. It was completely non-functional after a month. Stick to Epson or HP
