Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 review: Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901

Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901

The ; grabs your attention with its penny-per-page black ink costs and its large, color touch-screen control panel. It's also fast with printing photos and quiet during operation, and it boasts a five-year warranty.

In order to hit such a low black-ink cost, the Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 turns out text that isn't as deep black as competing models, and Lexmark's SmartSolutions app site is poorly designed. Plus, it's slow with copies.

The Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 is a well-designed, compact multifunction printer, and its low cost per page helps it earn our recommendation for those who can stomach slower print speeds.

Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901

The Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 color inkjet multifunction printer (which handles printing, scanning, copying, and faxing) is priced on the high side ($300 as of June 4, 2010), but it's packed with features that would satisfy a busy home or small office. ...

Five-year warranty ; Inexpensive, high-yield black ink ; Wealth of features, including a touchscreen

Flimsy input tray ; Expensive standard-size inks

You pay more for the machine but less for its ink, which is a reasonable trade-off--especially considering the plentiful features that accompany this MFP.

Review: Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 multifunction printer

You pay more for the machine but less for its ink, which is a reasonable trade-off--especially considering the plentiful features that accompany this MFP.

Admirably, Lexmark has customized the setup routine by skill level. If you want hand-holding, you can click through a long parade of dialog boxes that explain every minute detail, from plugging in the AC cord to inserting the cartridges. If you don't...

Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901

It can print, copy, scan and fax, but will this pricey multifunction inkjet woo potential buyers?

The SmartSolutions system offers an increasing range of applets, which can be downloaded to the Pinnacle and other Pro range all-in-ones. It’s a convoluted process though, where you have to create an account and select your applets from a computer and...

The Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 is a worthy contender for your small-office pounds. Though we consider the Canon Pixma MX870 a better overall package for a lower price, the Pinnacle Pro901 supplies the cheapest black ink and the longest warranty.

Terrible

Yes, this really is the worst printer I've ever owned. Complete waste of money. It just sits by my home office desk taking up space. If I print, it's at the office or in another room in our house.

seemed like a good deal when i bought it

wireless malfunctions; print quality poor; unreliable

"Worst printer I've ever owned"

I agree with what everyone has said about it's shortcomings - Printhead problems, cheap ink cartridges but I've wasted so much ink while troubleshooting this crap, scan to e-mail doesn't work most of the time (corrupted PDF files), paper tray hard to...

All-in-one, low purchase price

Never works when I need it
