Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Select Lexmark inkjet printers to reduce workload

Choose the features you need and identify your price range; then, find a match at the Lexmark website. Buy an inexpensive all-in-one Lexmark color inkjet printer for one low price. A compact black and white inkjet printer such as the Z2300 works well when you don't need color. Take advantage of the wireless capability of the X3550 all-in-one printer.

I recommend: Narrow your choices at the website for Lexmark International, Inc., where you search results by price range, features or the way you will use it. Shop by price, popularity or consumer rating at TigerDirect, Inc.

Save money with Lexmark closeout printers

When a new model enters the market, retailers often place older models on sale at lower prices than they originally sold. Check for compatibility with newer operating systems when you purchase discontinued models.

I recommend: Buy open-box, clearance and scratch and dent Lexmark printers at Tech for Less LLC. Find low prices on Lexmark printers at the CompUSA.com overstock section.

Buy refurbished Lexmark inkjet printers

Retailers service and repair used printers and test those in open boxes before selling them again. Look for refurbished printers with a limited warranty; most reputable companies offer some type of guaranty or warranty. Some sellers of refurbished printers also sell Lexmark inkjet printer ink.

I recommend: Find refurbished Lexmark inkjet printers at Super Warehouse, where they also sell Lexmark inkjet printer cartridges. Buy new and refurbished Lexmark inkjet printers from Directron.com, Inc., which offers an extensive online support section where you can find a link to the correct printer driver and get other questions answered.
