Comments about Lexmark C543dn Color Laser Printer:

I use this printer for printing client tax returns, and my high school son uses it for his school reports and projects. It's fast, excellent quality, and easy to use for printing labels and envelopes as well as full size sheets. I was using an inkjet printer before, but printed sheets (and envelopes) would smear if a drop of water landed on them. This is much better - I should have made the switch long ago!

Comments about Lexmark C543dn Color Laser Printer:

I bought this printer, literally this afternoon on sale for a great price. Saved $100 on the printer and it prints better and is faster than its big name competitor. Hooked it up and loaded the drivers on CD. One thing, I had to go online to Lexmark to get the Windows 7 driver.. If you do not, the CD just has the Universal driver which prints really slow and does not access all the talents, duplexing of the printer. So, get the Windows 7 or VISTA driver so you can see what this printer can really do! Awesome. Really, really fast..even with color. Secret is...make sure you get the right printer driver from Lexmark for your printer. One thing that wasn't mentioned is that it can run USB (has port in back with a sticker over it..look carefully); wired network; or wireless option.

Very Slow and Paper Curls
By HambonzeVerified Buyer from Boone, NC on 11/7/2009

Comments about Lexmark C543dn Color Laser Printer:

When printing multible lables up on a sheet, it takes a very long time for it to print. Very slow print time and warm up. When printing more than one sheet of paper, the paper tends to curl on the sides, I guess from the heat of the printer. On the other hand, it prints very nice colors-sharp-clear-and rich colors. Good value for the price and very easy set up.
