Lexmark E450dn Laser Printer

Lexmark claims that the printer can print up to 35 pages per minute and prints the first page in as little in 7 seconds. In our tests we noticed that it took 8.24 seconds from the time we clicked Print to the time the printer stopped on a 1 page Word...

Overall, the E450dn laser printer from Lexmark is a great workhorse laser printer for small businesses and home offices but it isn't the cheapest, running you about $600 USD. Lexmark does offer alternative models as low as $150 USD.

Lexmark E450dn

A solid workgroup mono laser that delivers above-average quality and plenty of features for the price.

Great, Fast Printer

Great printer, especially for the price. I plan to keep this one around for years. It's not the $1000+ type printer, but it has all the features you'd need for a workgroup or home-office.

Printer (single page) is blazing fast. Ethernet connection is the way to go with this one. Very easy to set up, and the prints are always top-notch quality

The "paper guard" that goes on the back to cover the tray when legal size paper is used was broken; had to have that exchanged with Lexmark. As another reviewer stated, the overall quality and feel is rather poor. I see Lexmark has updated this model,...

I love Lexmark!

This printer is so much faster than the HP I was using. Purchased it as a backup - BUT the HP is now the backup ONLY if I must use it! With 1/2 the memory it is 4 times faster ; Small Compact size, clean crisp pages, FAST PDF Printing! Just what I needed

I took way to long to order

This printer has exceeded my expectations. It is very fast at printing, including the first page from it's sleep mode. I had tried the highly rated Brother 5250dn prior to the Lexmark 450dn. The Brother printer install was a problem and the machine...

Lexmark E450DN Laser Printer

This is a great printer. Setting it up as network printer is very easy, it is fast and supports duplex. Nothing to complain. It arrived in two days from buy.com, very impressive.

I replaced a Lexmark Optra E310, which was connected to my home LAN with a Trendnet print server. I wanted a printer with 32MB+ RAM, PCL5/6 ans Postscript. The E450dn appealed to me because of the three connectors, and built-in duplex printing was like...
