Most Helpful Positive Review

Almost Perfect

The printer is perfect except for one aspect. The installation defaults to a setup script (suggested installation) that fails to install all the printer drivers and options. The print instructions do not exist, so in order to determine the correct procedure, I had to explore the website and do a bit of trial and error. I normally would have used the online customer support, but they were closed. Nevertheless, I solved the cryptic software requirements, and the printer works even better than I had hoped. Lexamark needs to get it's IT department to develop a better installation program.

Most Helpful Negative Review

Does Not Duplex With Printer Drivers

Printer-specific drivers won't duplex correctly and print out instruction sheet for manual duplexing instead of just doing it automatically, and the instructions don't work--there's not even a button they say to push on the "D" model (the C540DW has auto-duplexing capabilities, but the Lexmark drivers don't support it). The Universal Driver can be used to support auto-duplex, but then it prints offset to the left by nearly 1/2". If you plan to print on both sides of the sheet, buy a different printer.

Comments about Lexmark� C540DW Wireless Color Laser Printer:

We had a Lexmark at one of my past businesses and it was durable and great, so when we were in the market and came across this printer, I thought Great! But I fight with it daily. It "jams" all the time, but there is never an actual paper jam. When it goes to sleep to save energy, to get it to wake back up to print, you often have to disconnect and reconnect it to the network or shut it off and on again.

Comments about Lexmark� C540DW Wireless Color Laser Printer:

This unit is slow and uses a lot of toner! It prints color pages at about 8 ppm and when you do 2 sided printing it takes forever.

This is not a unit for a business.

Comments about Lexmark� C540DW Wireless Color Laser Printer:

If you buy this, download the most current Lexmark universal print driver and software and throw away the disk enclosed with the printer. Only the newest drivers allow the printer to work to its full capabilities. With the disk install, you will get garbage you don't want when you print duplex. The downloaded software works correctly however.

Can't beat the price and the print quality is good.

Comments about Lexmark� C540DW Wireless Color Laser Printer:

Bought this printer at a staples store they took an additional 50$ off when i traded in my inkjet printer. Bought because of inkjet printers high cost of ink. bought this today extremly easy to setup on the network using a patch cord. plugged in and added in a snap using windows 7 add printer wizard. prints decent pictures at high quality settings. So far a good purchase
