When you get a computer, chances are you will need a printer as well. Many of the printers available to the average user now are laser printers, and one printer model worth everyone’s attention is the Lexmark s 1855 working with Lexmark S 1855 toner. It has been discontinued now, but this shouldn’t stop you from considering buying one online. The option is much cheaper than going for something brand new.

If you will need many color prints, this printer is not for you, as it only prints in black and white. But the average person might overestimate how much color printing they really need. It might be cheaper to use a professional service or even a library if you’ll only need some color prints, and to buy the Lexmark s 1855 for everyday use.

To go with your printer, you will need such items as ink, toner and printing paper. Many of these items can be bought from the printer’s page on the Lexmark company website. For these you can also try looking at independent sellers online. Compare prices and decide whether it would be best in the long run to buy small amounts or in bulk.

In purchasing both the printer and the accessories, make sure whatever sellers you buy from are reputable and make note of shipping options. Compare prices and keep track of which final costs include the price of shipping and which don’t. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is, so find the best deal by first checking the average price from all sellers.

A printer’s bulk makes it a costly item to sell. The concern on shipping has already been mentioned, but because you will most likely be adding a significant amount to your cost, be sure it is worthwhile. Reliable shipping methods are essential in getting your purchase to your door in one piece. If something does happen, you will want the option of a refund.

Even if you don’t plan on buying anything from the Lexmark s 1855’s official company website, it is worth taking a look at before you decide to buy and after you get your printer. Stats on the product can be found on the site to see if it meets your needs, as well as tips for both setting the printer up and troubleshooting it as you use it over time.

A print resolution of 1200×1200 dpi and an 18 page per unit print speed are standard for the Lexmark s 1855. Also standard are typical output and input trays and a single port for connectivity. Optional are an envelope feeder for paper handing and a variety of other ports - for infrared and ethernet among others - that can be either local, network, or both. Be sure to only use Lexmark S 1855 toner with this product.
