Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark M3250 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 print 2,000 to 5,000 pages a month and need a workgroup machine, not a personal printer.
  • You're a 6-12 person team that wants to share one fast B&W laser.
  • You want the 4.3-inch touchscreen for secure release, scan-to-folder shortcuts (via XM3250 if MFP), and badge release.
  • You'll add a second 550-sheet drawer to cut paper-loading frequency.
  • You need gigabit Ethernet for fast spool times on bigger jobs.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're upgrading from a Lexmark MS510 or MS610 and want similar form factor.
  • It's fine if you'll add Wi-Fi via the optional MarkNet accessory rather than wired-only.
  • It's fine if your jobs are mixed (some single pages, some 100-page batches) — duty cycle handles both.
  • It's fine if you don't need scanning at this device because you have a separate scanner.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need scanning, copying, or fax — get the XM3250 MFP.
  • Skip this if you print under 1,000 pages a month — the M1246 is plenty.
  • Skip this if you need to share with 15+ people printing daily — step up to a floor-standing MS725 or MS821.
  • Skip this if you need color — Lexmark's CS-series or CX-series fits.
  • Skip this if you only have one or two users — paying for workgroup duty cycle wastes money.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

At 50 ppm, the Lexmark M3250 is the top of Lexmark's desktop B&W single-function lineup before you jump to floor-standing MS-series machines. It's a B&W laser for offices doing 2,000-5,000 pages a month — bigger than the M1242/M1246 but still desktop-friendly. 4.3-inch touchscreen, standard duplex, 650-sheet input, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi via accessory. Faster processor, more memory, and a higher-rated maintenance kit than the M1246. The 1 thing buyers regret: putting the M3250 on a single-user desk. It's a workgroup printer — anyone treating it as a personal device will run out the imaging unit and fuser early not because they printed too much, but because the duty-cycle is designed for 5+ users sharing the load. The other regret is forgetting to spec a second 550-sheet drawer. The standard 650-sheet capacity reloads about every 2 days at the kind of volume that justifies a 50 ppm machine. Add a drawer and you're loading paper twice a week instead of daily.

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 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Been using this for our small accounting office for about 8 months now. The monochrome output is sharp and consistent, and it handles our mixed paper sizes without jamming. Network setup took maybe 20 minutes, which was painless compared to our old printer."
  • ★ "Solid workhorse for a home office environment. Print quality is reliable and the toner cartridges last a decent while. My only complaint is the paper tray could be bigger, but that's not a dealbreaker for my needs."
  • ★ "IT department went with this for our branch office. Easy to manage remotely, drums and toner are reasonably priced, and we've had zero downtime in six months. Does what it's supposed to do without the extra bloat."

FAQ

Lexmark M3250, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (386) 261-8323 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Lexmark M3250 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 21,000 pages. The replacement toner model is 24B6887, which also yields 21,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Lexmark M3250 is a monochrome laser printer with a speed of 50 ppm, designed for offices printing 2,000-5,000 pages a month, while the Lexmark CS530 Series is a color laser printer with a speed of 35 ppm, suitable for offices printing 800-3,500 pages a month. The M3250 has a higher monthly volume capacity and a larger standard paper input (650 sheets vs. 250 sheets), but lacks color printing. The CS530 Series includes standard Wi-Fi and a color touchscreen, whereas the M3250 requires an optional accessory for Wi-Fi. For small offices needing color, the CS530 Series is a better fit, while the M3250 is ideal for high-volume monochrome printing.
The Lexmark M3250 is well-suited for small businesses with a monthly print volume of 2,000-5,000 pages. It offers a fast print speed of 50 ppm, standard duplex printing, and a 650-sheet input capacity. However, it is a monochrome printer, so if your business requires color printing, consider stepping up to a commercial color option like the Lexmark CS530 Series.
No, the Lexmark M3250 is a monochrome laser printer and only prints in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Lexmark CS530 Series, Lexmark C3224dw, or Lexmark CX522ade.
