I didn’t like the fact that this printer isn’t compatible with my Chromebook and one of my cell phones. Also didn’t like that it doesn’t have a regular USB port. Other than those minor issues, it’s a great affordable printer. Great price especially for a Color Laser printer!

March 2022 After receiving the new cartridges my misalignment issues persisted. Lost about 3 weeks in the process. Upon contacting support here’s the message I received:
“The printer’s issue unfortunately can’t be solved remotely, and since the asset is out of warranty, you will need to contact a dealer to deal with the hardware issue. If you want me to provide you with the contact of the closest dealer, just reply on this email and send me the printer’s address. “
I purchased the first one in May 2021 and the second in Aug 2021. Both printers have the same issue and should still be under the 12 month from purchase warranty. This situation is starting to feel hopeless….
Feb 2022 Heads up, I bought 2 and both have defective print cartridges. Support is helpful and is sending me a new set of cartridges. I’ll update once I receive them.

Decent quality printer however be sure to purchase some extra toner if you plan on doing heavy printing upon receiving… supplied toner is only good for 500 pages which is about 1/3 capacity of a normal toner cartridge that fits this printer.. kind of a rip off if you factor that in considering toner costs $65-120

Upgraded from a monochrome Canon laser printer, and I’m amazed at the printing quality with both color and B&W. For me it’s a fantastic bargain at it’s price.

I purchased this to be my new home office printer, and I have found it to have excellent print quality, good color, and a fantastic duplexer! Getting forms or presentations printed is quick and easy, and so far I haven’t had any issues with jamming or misprints.
Where I did have issues is the driver. Like a lot of people these days, I do not have an optical drive, and assumed it would be easy to just hook the printer up and have Windows search for the driver since I couldn’t use the included CD.
That quickly turned to frustration as my PC failed to connect to the device, and I finally had to slog through several parts of the Lexmark website until I finally located the correct driver downloads.
Once I installed the new drivers and rebooted, the printer connected quickly and I was up and running in a few minutes, but it would have been nice to have better support out of the box.

The CS331DW is a pretty good printer. The text is crisp, the speed probably in line with its price, and with tweaking I think you could get an acceptable color print with it. It comes with a CD (dated 2019) that has only Windows drivers and associated files. The printer has connections for USB, wired network and wireless (with a number of security protocols available, and includes AirPrint as well). There is initial setting up of the printer required and that can be done, if you’re very patient, on the little screen on the front. However, the easiest and smartest way, if you are using networking to connect to the printer, is through a web browser. The default IP on my printer was 192.168.1.8 (as I recall, maybe it was .6) and that can be changed in the settings directly on the printer if your network is not based on 192.168.1.*. You type the network address in the browser and that takes you to an Embedded Web Server in the printer firmware, where you can enter date, time, change a number of parameters and get information about the printer. The Lexmark web page compatibility page does not include Mac OS X for this printer but the Mac will recognize and install drivers which work, sometimes, but are flakey and seem to only print single pages. The good news for linux users is that my debian-based linux box recognized the printer as soon as I turned it on and the system installed drivers that seem to work quite well. I will probably look for the Lexmark recommended linux drivers and see how they work. The one aspect of this printer, one I foolishly didn’t check into before buying, is the price of replacement toner. The standard cartridges are 20N10[K0,C0,M0,Y0], the high capacity are 20N1H[K0,M0,C0,Y0], but it seems they are normally assumed to be replaced as part of the ‘Lexmark Return Program’, whatever that is; to me that is a pain. Amazon lists some high capacity toner cartridges for this printer for nearly $200 (CDN) each, and I have no idea whether these are part of a return program or what. I haven’t yet found a company that sells replacement, refillable, toner for these. I bought this CS331DW to replace the only color laser printer I have that can do full duplex printing, a Lexmark CS410dn. That printer developed small spots (for each toner) in consistent places on pages. I removed the very complicated, and outrageously expensive internal parts, could see no obvious cause for the problem, and will junk that printer. I’m starting to wonder if I should have simply stayed away from Lexmark printers for good.
