julz0420 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Its in the ad for 39 ish dollars on BF but I got mine tonight for that price. (same model number) So at least here, in Illinois, they are already at the ad price. Just in case anyone else was wanting one... Check and see if your Wal Mart is doing it now also. :) Julie
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Ok, thanks! I was looking for that.
RossMAN Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Julie, Thanks for the tip. Is it the Lexmark X1185 All-in-One for $39.88?
julz0420 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 Lexmark X1185 is what I got! I just got it so I'm not sure how well it works but I know it DOES include a black AND a color cartridge. :) I'll let you know how it works. Julie
Spotted1 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Is it any good?? Worth the $40?Absolutely! I had one up until last year when we moved and it "mysteriously" didn't make it to the new house. ( ) They're very good scan quality. The only complaint is the cost of ink is almost more than what you pay outright for the printer!

Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I am looking on WAL-MART.com and that model does not show up...
erh12275 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I am looking on WAL-MART.com and that model does not show up...I just checked the link and you are right...it's gone. I am wondering what happened. It worked a couple weeks ago when the ad was put up. Thinking that they may have sold out.
Spotted1 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 This is not a black friday deal. These always sell for this price. If you look at the ad closely you can see it's the everyday price. Everyday price for them here is $59.xx
julz0420 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 Hopefully I'll post the pics I took right... This is what it looks like: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/maddygrace04/100_3041.jpg (After I took it out of the box) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/maddygrace04/100_3042.jpg I did wonder if that was an everday price but I've never seen it that low myself so I did buy it. I've needed a new scanner and printer for awhile so I'm happy with it! Julie
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Awesome! thanks for the pictures. I am going to call my walmart NOW!
erh12275 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Everyday price for them here is $59.xxYou know what...I checked the ad...and it does say special buy. I guess when I checked the ad online back when it first came out and the price was the same I assumed it was one of the everyday low prices.
civicracinggirl7 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 My sister has that "all-in-one", and it does a pretty good job for everyday, basic use.
RossMAN Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Sorry to rain in on your parade but wait until you have to refill the ink cartridges. You will be in for a real $$$ shock $$$ they'll cost more than the actual printer does. A few months ago I bought my Canon Pixma MP750 for $99 - $50 rebate = $49 @ Fry's B&M
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I won't use color really, and its ok, it wont be that much

Alot of people I know just go and buy a new printer instead of replacing the ink. 2 ink cartridges(black and color) for an HP and u can have a brand new one.
sperdue Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks for posting this Julie!! I was going to get 2 of these on BF, one for me and one for my mom to replace the dinosaur printer she has!! I'm gonna check wm here. That'll save me 2 big boxes taking up room in the car on BF. Good lookin' out!
julz0420 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 No problem!! It saves me from having to place someone in front of them when the shopping starts, I can concentrate on my other items.... I LOVE this site so I'm always willing to help a fellow shopper out. Julie
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 yeah!!! two thumbs up for julz0420
Guest jrsins Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 You are better off in the long run if you buy a Canon or an Epson Printer. Both allow ISO Manufacturers to produce ink for their machines. On Ebay I bought 10 ink cartridges for $25.00 including shipping.
Spotted1 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I'm a fan of Lexmark, despite the cost of the ink. Could just be cause I'm from Kentucky, though.
Guest general41391 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 IDC about ink, cuz i aint paying for it! ahaha
julz0420 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Posted November 18, 2005 Its hooked up and works GREAT!! WOO HOO!!!! I hope you guys are able to get it now at that price also! Julie
heavenlysshine Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 SO, if I get the Lexmark printer, I can only use the Lexmark ink? I'm not understanding, I guess. I mean, I know ink for printers is outrageous, but will only a certain type fit in this one? ~H~
techanalyst Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 stop whining about the price of ink. why do you think the printer hardware is more valuable than the ink? it isn't, all the value and the intellectual property of the printer company is in the ink. You can get cheap ink but you get what you pay for. If you want cheap ink then those $40 AIO's would be $150. So stop whining and pay the man
ShawnainKY02 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Seems like it's always that way. Alot of people I know just go and buy a new printer instead of replacing the ink. 2 ink cartridges(black and color) for an HP and u can have a brand new one.This is so true. I have had about 4 different printers and it has held true for all of them. I need a new printer anyway. Will have to go to WM tomorrow and see if they have this one. Thanks for the info OP!
erh12275 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 This is so true. I have had about 4 different printers and it has held true for all of them. I need a new printer anyway. Will have to go to WM tomorrow and see if they have this one. Thanks for the info OP!I tried the ink refills...it was ok for the black ink...but the other colors were off. And since I print pics from my digital was so much easier to just buy a new printer.
ebony0421 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I need a printer, but I want to make sure that I am understanding. Is the Lexmark a bad printer or are you saying that the ink for the printer is too expensive, so I'd be better off buying a different printer? Thanks.
