ProsThis printer is great! It does everything that I need with only one piece of hardware.
ConsThe only complaint I have is that it seems to use more ink than my other printer and when it does need ink it is expensive.

Title: Dell 948 Printer Date: November 21, 2008
ProsExcellent quailty, , Easy to Use
ConsUses way 2 much ink. The Dell 946 uses much less ink and prints a lot of pages.. I could print 600+ copies in just black ink and with the Dell 948, I could only print about 200 sheets in black....

Review:It's a good quality printer but your gonna be spending alot of money on ink... I've had the printer for about a month and I've already had to change the black cartridge...

Title: Really dislike this product! Date: November 20, 2008
ProsIt's wireless! That's about it. Wish I could say more positive things but...not with this machine!
ConsIt jams CONSTANTLY! It runs out of ink QUICKLY. The ink cartridges are EXPENSIVE. There are network communication issues ALL THE TIME for no reason! And I really wish I hadn't bought it without researching it more. The only good thing was the donation.

Title: Excellent printer for the money Date: November 16, 2008
ProsMemory card slots, usable even just as a card reader, quality build, automatic 2-sided printing, print quality
ConsUses a lot of ink

Review:After putting in my first cartridges, after only printing about 10 documents, with a little color, mostly black, that my ink levels were at 1/2 left. However, after 10 more prints when they dropped to "empty", the printer kept on printing. I must have gotten another 100 prints while the indicators read "empty", but I only got about 20 before that. Interesting.

Title: Dell 948 All-In-One Date: October 31, 2008
ProsI like this product, I have been a buyer of Dell for several years now, it does what i want it to do and is simple to use.
ConsI found a way to control the use of the ink that it drinks, I changed my setting to draft, after quickly going through my first cartridge. That makes a huge difference and the print is still clear. I highly recommend everyone making this change as soon as you set up your All-In-One.

Review:The biggest complaint I've heard is the price of the cartridges. Dell could make this product more desirable by dropping the prices, then people with smaller incomes would be more apt to by this product.

ProsEasy to set-up, clear and accurate printing.
The wireless adapter was easily installed, and works great!
ConsThe unit is large, and sort of bulky. I would prefer an all-black slimline body.

Review:The unit doesn't seem to run out of ink any faster than any other printer I have used.

Title: Great Printer! Date: September 30, 2008
ProsIt's great! It does what it's supposed to do, and does it well. It's nice looking also. It even can tell when your phone line is plugged in to it and whether it's plugged into the right place. It's easy to set up. I haven't tried to print pictures yet, but I have printed, faxed and copied. The ink does run out kind of fast, but that's because it comes with a smaller size. I bought the big size too, which I am expecting will be just fine. Amazing deal.
ConsA few minor annoyances: I use it wirelessly and every once in a while, a message will come up that says the computer cannot communicate with the printer. So I have to go into the other room, unplug the thing and then restart it. There seems to be no real reason why it does this, since I usually print from the same location in the house.
The other thing is the constant ink reminders, but you can shut off the really irritating one.

Review:One piece of advice: when it says it's out of ink, it really isn't yet. You can get several more pages out after that--just keep an eye on it to make sure it hasn't really run out, so you don't have to go back and redo all of your print jobs. Mine's been saying for days that it is out of black ink, but yet it's still printing just fine with black ink. So that should save you a little bit of money at least.

Title: Good Printer, Seamless Install Date: September 22, 2008
ProsOnce the wireless module was clipped into place, it took all of 5 minutes to connect and print through our existing WIFI network. We typically don't print photos, and have used the copier/scanner features extensively. Scanning through the network is a breeze-- whether it's to the 4-month old laptop running Vista or the 6 year old desktop. This was a great replacement for the 922 AIO and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality AIO. We haven't used the fax feature, but if it is like the others, I'm sure we'll like it as much!
ConsThe paper tray is somewhat small; then there is the perennial issue of ink cartridges. We got extra cartridges, and there is supposed to be a Staples gift card coming our way at some point as well. There really isn't much to complain about, given our usage patterns.

Title: Fast and efficient Date: September 22, 2008
ProsThe quality of print is great. It is fast and hasn't jammed once which in my opinion is a plus. Easy to load paper and follow instructions for various tasks right on the printer itself.
ConsI don't care for the silver color but think the red and black area of the console is nice. I would prefer a darker color body. It just doesn't pick up the colors of the rest of my Dell products on my desk.

Review:Change the color.

ProsThe printer wireless feature works well everyware in my home . All the other stuff works to. It consumes LESS ink than my old one and the refills are less costly.
ConsI haven't found any cons except one. being wireless its not unusual in my home for 3 or 4 people to be printing at the same time.It has handled it flawlessly. Comical watching the kids
sort the outfeed table.

Review:I think it was a good buy.For a all-in-one
this is the lowest price Ive ever paid.

Title: Don't waste your money-Ink Guzzler Date: August 21, 2008
ProsI thought I purchased a steal of a deal when first started using this printer. Print quality is excellent, however, doesn't make up for the amount of ink it uses!
ConsI am so sorry I purchased this printer. Waste of money! They could GIVE it away for the amount of money you spend in ink. I'm going to buy another printer and make sure I check out the ink usage first.

Review:It's really a buyer beware! Be prepared to purchase lots of ink cartridges.

ProsFeeds card paper through good, I use alot of that
ConsShould have bigger ink cartridges! Very common problem with all the new printers I have looked at. Very hard to figure out how to do more than 1 copy of an article. I'm using the Dell 964 for multi copy things.

Review:We need a good alround home printer that takes a bigger black ink cartridge. I don't need the photo copying stressed as much. Needs the straight through paper feed also to accomadate the heavier weight paper.

Title: Good quality, ink hog Date: August 20, 2008
ProsAffordable price for an all-in one, very nice picture quality, memory card slots are handy
ConsINK HOG, consumes ink cartridges extremely quickly and they are not cheap to replace (1 rating for battery life in lieu of an option to vote for ink use); menu settings do not 'save', they reset after each use or function switch; incoming faxes occasionally fail to connect

Review:I may very well switch to a different model. This unit consumes ink so rapidly it's almost not worth the savings. I'd prefer to spend extra money on one that gets more out of each cartridge instead of replacing them every other week. If you only plan on using it occasionally, it's a good buy. If you plan on using it daily, you might want to reconsider or stock up on cartridges.
