Review
Lexmark MB3442adw has the features and specifications of an accomplished office printer. it's a four-in-one device, which means you have a fax facility (assuming you have a landline) in addition to printing, scanning and photocopying. Printing at a rate of 42 pages per minute places this among the fastest laser printers around. there's plenty of room for paper too with a 350-sheet main tray and the option to upgrade, so it's unlikely you'll ever need another home printer.
The duplex printing and scanning is well executed and the touchscreen and front USB ports are certainly convenient. It can print large documents such as manuscripts very quickly and above all, the quality is consistently high. If you need to print lots of pages and you require the added functionality of a scanner and ADF, then this is the AIO (all in one) device for you. Just bear in mind that the cost of the toner.
The core selling point is that beyond the cartridges there are no other supplies that need replacing ??? e.g. no separate photoconductors, developers and even the waste tone bottle is a lifetime item. So while you might feel the cartridges are expensive ??? other elements that can require replacing on competitor products don't need replacing.
