Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CS330 Series is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a home office or a 1-5 person business that needs occasional color.
  • You print 200-1,500 pages a month — Lexmark's recommended sweet spot is 600-2,500.
  • You want auto duplex and Wi-Fi standard at the lowest entry price for a Lexmark color laser.
  • You're fine without a touchscreen — the 2-line LCD handles basic navigation, and most jobs come from the driver anyway.
  • You want a small footprint — 9.6 x 16.2 x 15.5 inches and 35 lb fits on any desk.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 1,500-2,500 pages a month — at the top of Lexmark's recommended range; you'll cycle high-yield toner every couple of months.
  • You need basic mobile printing — AirPrint and Mopria are standard, no extra config required.
  • You're upgrading from an inkjet — the per-page cost drops dramatically; just budget for the high-yield 4,500-page cartridges.
  • You want occasional color — at 26 ppm color it's slow for big jobs but fine for the odd flyer or invoice.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 2,500 pages a month — the CS431dw or CS531dw is the right step up.
  • You need a touchscreen — this model has a 2-line monochrome LCD only; the CS431dw adds a 2.8" touch panel.
  • You need scan, copy, fax — print-only model. The MC3326 or CX331adwe gives you the MFP version.
  • You print bursts of 100+ pages at a time — first page out is 10.9 seconds and the engine isn't built for sustained throughput.
  • You need finishing or large input trays — no expansion options, this is a fixed-config device.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CS330 Series (current shipping config: CS331dw) is a small desktop color laser printer for home offices and 1-5 person businesses printing 200 to 2,500 pages a month. It prints 26 ppm in both black and color at 4800 Color Quality (2400 x 600 dpi) with auto duplex and Wi-Fi standard. Paper handling is a 250-sheet main tray plus a single-sheet manual feed — 251 sheets total, no expansion. The 2-line monochrome LCD handles routine navigation; this is not a touchscreen device. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 Type B, and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi standard. At 9.6 x 16.2 x 15.5 inches and 35 lb, it's the smallest color laser in the Lexmark catalog. The thing buyers regret: hoping it'll handle bigger jobs. First page out is 10.9 seconds and the duty cycle is rated 50,000 pages a month — push it past 2,500/mo regularly and you'll wear it out faster than the warranty likes. For more throughput, the CS431dw at the same footprint is the right step up.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "It's a solid workhorse for our nonprofit office. Fast enough for what we need, though the toner cartridges are a bit pricey. Overall reliable and the touchscreen interface makes it easy for staff to figure out without much training."
  • "Got this for my home office setup and it's been trouble-free. Print quality on photos and documents looks good, and it's quiet compared to my old printer. The mobile printing options work as advertised."
