A stunning printer by parkerhallam on dell.com May 10, 2012
My old inkjet printer stopped working and no amount of service could set it right and it was then I decided that my office needed a new printer and after some browsing I decided that 1250c Dell would handle my printing needs and as expected the printer ...
 
Exceeded my expectations. Works fine with Macintosh (10.7.x) by Anthony Martin on amazon.com Nov 24, 2011
First, there was a reviewer that was frustrated with Macintosh support for this printer. I do not doubt one bit the issues that they had. I have had similar issues in the past with dell printers. I think Dell has fixed their issues now. After receiving ...
 
Excellent Printer by Kiomarv on dell.com May 16, 2012
For the price, this is an excellent printer. Though it may not be an all-in-one device, it prints text and color images beautifully and conserves toner well. Case in point, I recently printed two full-page copies of an 820-page manuscript (a total of ...

Great printer for the money! by MrOlds on dell.com Feb 2, 2012
When I ordered this printer I was not sure what I would get. The specs were impressive, but was it too good to be true? Picture printing is as good as the high end inject photo printers - no color laser printer in its class can come close to it. Graphics ...

Don't Buy the 1250C by Anna Bonjour on amazon.com Jun 13, 2012
I had a 1230C that I loved, and it has been replaced by the 1250C. I had trouble initially with getting the printer to come out of sleep mode once my computer was turned off and back on again. I finally got it to at least come out of the sleep when I ...
 
Printer by 1steve1 on dell.com May 16, 2012

Bad buy by Frazier Conley on amazon.com May 30, 2012
Paper jams frequently. I have to turn the printer off and back on after a jam. Tried to print 4X6 photos, never could figure out how. After printing any kind of a color image the ink is so shiny that my copier will not produce a decent copy of it. It ...

Terrible Printer by annime on dell.com Apr 3, 2012
This printer is great if all you want to do is print 8.5x11 sheets of paper. Printing envelopes or even half sheets of paper, you will get an error after every single print. Then you are forced to press CANCEL to get the next print job. Two hours with ...
 
nor recommended except as a one use disposable by corroded on dell.com Jan 7, 2012
This printer worked great for the first three days. After that it has rapidly and steadily deteriorated. It turns itself off (yellow/ orange light) and won't print. If I turn it off and let it rest for a while, then when I turn it on it will sometimes ...
