Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark M5255 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 need a high-speed monochrome printer for a small office, with 55 pages per minute to handle up to 50,000 pages monthly.
  • You require automatic duplex printing to save paper and reduce manual intervention.
  • You want a workgroup printer with a 4,400-sheet maximum paper capacity to minimize refills during heavy use.
  • You need flexible connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB for seamless integration into your network.
  • You prefer a single-function printer focused solely on printing without unnecessary features like scanning or copying.
  • You value a durable design with a 1-year warranty and a long-life imaging unit rated for 150,000 pages.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print mostly in black and white but occasionally need color, though this printer only supports monochrome.
  • You have moderate printing needs (around 3,000 pages/month) and want a reliable printer without overpaying for unused features.
  • You need a printer that supports various paper sizes, including A5, A4/Letter, and Legal, for versatile document handling.
  • You want a printer with a touchscreen interface for easy navigation, even if you don’t need advanced customization.
  • You work in a shared office space where multiple users need access via Wi-Fi Direct or Ethernet.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need a color printer, as this model only prints in black and white.
  • You require a multi-function device with scanning, copying, or faxing capabilities.
  • You have very low printing volumes (under 1,000 pages/month) and don’t need a high-capacity workgroup printer.
  • You need a compact or personal printer, as this model is designed for small offices with higher output demands.
  • You rely on mobile printing apps or cloud services not explicitly supported by this printer’s connectivity options.

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 running this M5255 in my office for about two years now and it handles our print volume without breaking a sweat. The duplex printing saves us paper and the toner cartridges last longer than I expected for the price point."
  • ★ "Works fine for a small law office setup. Network printing is straightforward enough, though the interface could be more intuitive. We've had maybe one paper jam in six months so reliability seems solid."
  • ★ "Using this for document scanning and copying at our nonprofit. The scan-to-email feature is genuinely useful and it prints fast enough that we're not waiting around. Good value for what we needed."

Lexmark M5255, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Lexmark TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Lexmark M5255 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Lexmark includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Lexmark reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Lexmark M5255 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
