ConsPrint cartridges last less than half the time than those of other printers I've owned, are way over-priced and worst yet... are unbelievably temperamental. The electronics in these cartridges (or Dell's firmware, one or the other) is flawed... its that simple. from Dell.com ProsGood picture quality, WHEN it prints correctly. Wireless capabilty, they will tell you, but in order for it to be wireless, you must buy the $100+ wireless adapter ConsDoes not detect paperJams VERY easilyTakes a long time to print simple black and white documentsMaintenance functions do not operate properly;-jams when you try to align cartridges, etc. Does not start up automatically when power button is pressed Additional ThoughtsI would not recommend this to my worst enemy. from Dell.com ConsI went through a cartridge in a week. With my other Dell printer a cartridge would last months. After reading other reviews I see this is a common problem with this printer. from Dell.com ConsIt is lousy and unreliable. I keep getting a printer busy or 'cannot communicate with printer' message. Paper keeps getting jammed and the cartridges must be filled with a drop of ink by Dell. This is worthless. from Dell.com ProsGreat for fifty bucks! the printer is good and scanner can be slow, but the output quality is well worth it Consno faxing Share this Review: Review 3 for 926 All In One Printer Overall: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Picture Quality: 4 [RATINGOF] 5 Features: 5 [RATINGOF] 5 Reviewed by: pinkrose Location: Helena, AR Duration of product use: Months Level of expertise: Good Title: Way to go DELL!!!! Date: June 25, 2008 ProsYES! from Dell.com ProsYES! Although I have "ripped" Dell on other areas of their company, especially Customer Service, .... and the first laptop/notebook I ordered worked for 2-hours, I still confirm that this printer (926 model) is absolutely professionally designed, and performs like an Office printer/copier/scanner. from Dell.com ProsPutting the bulk of my new computer budget into the computer and digital camera left me little room for a printer. I chose the 926 mainly due to its Black-Print Speed and of course, price. from Dell.com ProsI simply print invoices, in black only, at about 500 per month. I have used two toner cartridges with no problems. I printed about 4,000 pages from those cartridges! from Dell.com Pros: network ready, attractive, space saving design, optional larger paper drawer, prints well Cons: paper jams The Bottom Line: If it weren't for the paper jams, we would like this Dell Printer. from Shopping.com Pros1. After 6 reams of paper printed, it jammed only two times.2. Paper jams are easy to fix (easy to get to and pull out) and printer returns to normal right away.3. Toners last a long time. from Dell.com
