Product Description
This Lexmark 1100 Color JetPrinter is a high-resolution inkjet printer for home and small office use. It prints in both color and monochrome at a sharp 600 dpi resolution. This single-head thermal inkjet printer puts out 3.5 pages per minute (ppm) for black text and 1.5 ppm for color.This desktop printer is designed for small spaces, as it is only 16 cm deep and uses a vertical paper feed. It has a 30-sheet input tray, and accepts manually fed envelopes, labels, index cards and transparencies. It also prints continuous banners for signs or decorations. The 1100 Color JetPrinter uses one ink cartridge for both color and black printing. Cartridge replacement is a simple snap in/snap out procedure, whether using color, black or waterproof black ink cartridges. The 1100 Color JetPrinter has a parallel interface and installs quickly with the included print drivers. It is Windows 3.x/95/98 compatible, with host-based Windows fonts.

Looking for a small color ink-jet printer to fit a small budget? The Lexmark 1100 offers 600 dots per inch (dpi) and 3.5 pages per minute (ppm) in a compact, inexpensive package.
Setting up the Lexmark 1100 was not too difficult. Because there are no buttons on the printer except one for page feeding, we had to install the 1100's Control Program before installing the ink cartridge. Specifically, when we opened the cover to insert the ink cartridge, we found that the print head was tucked away, beyond our reach. The handy abbreviated instructions under the printer's cover informed us where we went wrong. Just make sure you follow the Quick Setup guide.
Although the Windows Plug and Play system detected the Lexmark when we turned on our computer, we bypassed the Windows Printer Setup wizard. Instead, we dropped in the 1100's CD-ROM and installed the Printer Control software.
After restarting Windows, we opened the Lexmark 1100 Control Program. In the Control Program dialog box, we clicked the Cartridges tab and then clicked the Install Cartridge button. The print cartridge carrier moved into position so that we would insert the ink cartridge. Initializing and aligning the print cartridge is also handled by the Control Program, as is printing a test page.
In our test of the 1100, we printed several samples, including graphics, large and small letters, and a variety of color shades. The samples were clear and sharp and the colors were accurate. We printed the same sample page in Fast Draft 300-dpi mode, Normal 300-dpi mode, and High Quality 600-dpi mode. We found only barely perceptible differences between Fast Draft and Normal, but a clear improvement in Hiqh Quality mode. However, the smallest text (4-point Times) was easiest to read in the Fast Draft sample.
There was some ink "bleeding" on ordinary uncoated paper, and black text was not truly black when printed with the color cartridge--but these results are typical for ink-jet printers. Overall, we think this printer performed well for its class, especially considering the low price.

Simple, Basic Machine--And it Lasted Years! .......2006-03-06
Nothing good about Lexmark.......2005-01-26
Another awful printer from Suxmark.......2003-12-07
Random Acts of Paper Violence.......2003-10-22
First, it seldom ran right under Windows Me - the software that controlled it ran in the system tray and was annoying, popping up and shouting, "PRINTING STARTED!!!" at me in .WAV form if I didn't adjust the volume to minimum. Then, printing a page - at any resolution - would come close to bringing my system to its knees. I suppose I can blame some of that on the poor quality of Windows Me...but there's more.
The Lexmark 1100 came along at a time when cartridge prices went up, often above the cost of the printer, and these cartridges were steep, even at Sam's Club. The fact that it burned through the ink faster than any printer I've owned - even at low quality draft - was not a good sign. In 6 months I spent about US$120 in ink (two cartridges) doing mostly normal printing and only a few photos. Then, one day, the 1100 just quit printing properly - random streaks of green and blobs of other colors would cover huge chunks of the page despite changing the cartridge and cleaning/aligning the print nozzle & print heads.
As soon as I could afford to, I put it away and bought a new HP. The other day, I needed this unsellable thing and dragged it out again. It reminded me of the other problems inherent in the hardware. When you load a page, no matter how hard you try, it always jinks it to the left, then back to the right, zig-zagging it into place and increasing the chance your page will get mangled. Sometimes it'd auto-feed and not recognize that the page was loaded, requiring me to eject the page and try again. It also pulls two or even three sheets at a time, wasting paper and messing up the feed of the next page.
Ever since owning this I've avoided Lexmark's products entirely. It's the most disappointing, poorly-built and badly-supported (sometimes you have to use the 1000 drivers to get it to work) piece of hardware this side of the CueCat.
