Dell All-In-One 948 InkJet Printer Reviews

I bought this Dell AIO948 in March and by June I was having problems with it.  Spent endless hours on phone and "live chat" with tech support and still had problems sporadically with the "stand alone" fax and the fax modem.  Would only work part of the time.  They sent me a refurbished printer on July 3 and called back to see if it worked.  Told them it was doing the same thing as the other one.  They said they'd call me back the next day to check on it more thoroughly.  This was three weeks ago and no phone call from them.  I am unable to contact Tech Support as when I enter my Service...

Dell 948 all in one printer

I've had cheap Canon all-in-one printers and I thought this Dell would really be a step up. It's not. I get good quality print and I get fast printing. But, really it's no better than those cheap Canon printers from Wal-Mart. I have to buy DELL ink because I can't find ink for it anywhere but the Dell store. My Dell ink seemed to run out very quickly and I changed the cartridges when recommended. Soon thereafter, I was notified that my ink tanks were out again. I've been printing for a month with an "EMPTY" ink tank! I feel scammed by dell. Their ink is expensive, too...and...

I bought this printer less than a year ago. Had problems with the usb from the beginning. You have to unplug from printer to get PC to boot up then plug back in after booted. It went from that to not letting you use either colored or black inck cartridge. If one runs out and the other is full it will not let you click on icon to let you use other ink cartridge only. Also started making a loud clicking noise when you turned on printer from out of idle. I called Dell they had me to return and replaced printer. When the replacement came they replaced the printer with a refurbished one. Not to mention...

I bought the printer a few months ago and have not had any trouble with it.  I have not used the photo functions very much yet, but so far so good.  The reason I went with this product was because it has a wireless network option.  This is perfect for my fiance and I who are both computer people.  Twice my computer has lost the network connection, but with a simple reboot of the computer it was fixed.  I believe that this was a computer problem not a printer problem. 

As far as printing goes, I have had no problems whatsoever. The products are clear and the margins match those on the computer...

I purchased the Dell AIO 948 Product (Red) printer for two reasons: first, my laptop from Dell had been robust and lasted over five years; and second, the price for the printer couldn't be beat. Being able to print double-sided, scan, copy, and fax wirelessly, at a cost of $120, was far below any other similar printers I could find anywhere. The fact that my purchase supported Bono's product (red) campaign was icing on the cake.

Setup of the printer caused a bit of headache. The printer comes separate from the wireless card, which has to be installed manually; when I followed the directions regarding...
