Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can I print color Legal duplex over Ethernet with AirPrint available on the shared network, PIN release and 5,000 monthly pages?
Yes with earlier references enabled and compatible mobile/protected-job software. The same-part manufacturer page explicitly names AirPrint, while PIN submission uses the documented compatible Print and Hold workflow.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the base include at least 800 normal Letter input sheets?
No. Included ordinary input is the 250-sheet main drawer plus one manual sheet; larger capacities require actual optional paper hardware.
Explore this need in the finder →Can it scan originals because software offers multifunction-related features?
No. The exact CS417 support classification is print-only color hardware.
Explore this need in the finder →A wired color printer with a documented release routine
The Lexmark CS417dn is an earlier color printer combining automatic print duplex with a conventional LCD and keypad. The exact US part is 28DC050. It serves printing rather than document capture: the manufacturer's support classification explicitly identifies print-only hardware, so a related multifunction product's scanner or fax should not be read into this model.
Lexmark marks it discontinued. Verify the offered machine's region, actual paper equipment, condition and current software support. Its useful documented arrangement is ordinary color printing with wired computer connections and compatible confidential-job release, provided its modest standard input and monthly recommendation match the workgroup.
Included duplex, with distinct output rates
Maximum one-sided Letter printing is declared at 32 pages per minute for black or color. Automatic two-sided output is separately 15 Letter sides per minute for each. Keep those modes separate when estimating a document routine; neither a color LCD nor a fast one-sided figure changes the duplex path's declaration. These are maker specifications rather than measurements made for this article.
The recommended monthly range is 800–6,000 printed pages, distinct from a 75,000-page maximum duty figure. Use the recommendation for normal planning. Short submissions, complex pages, mixed color content and specialty stock can affect how an actual queue relates to the continuous output rating.
The standard stack is smaller than the expansion headlines
The supplied paper arrangement is a 250-sheet drawer and single-sheet manual feeder, quoted as 250+1 at the manufacturer's 20-pound or 75-gsm basis. Letter, Legal and A4 support both the main drawer and automatic duplex. The manual source is an occasional-sheet path, rather than another ordinary stack. Suitable envelopes use a separate one-sided manual routine with the appropriate media settings.
The page contains conflicting expansion language. A marketing sentence says that an optional second tray raises capacity to 850 sheets, while the detailed table gives a maximum of 1,450+1 and lists a duo assembly plus another drawer. The base 250+1 remains clear. Do not treat either optional headline as included, and confirm the actual supported accessories and installation before depending on an expanded machine.
The duo assembly contains a 550-sheet drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. Multiple-input arrangements also need the guide's stability provisions and correct driver configuration. The 125-sheet output bin remains separate from all input counts.
AirPrint and protected jobs use different software paths
Standard USB Type-B connects to a computer; the front Type-A interface serves a different supported routine. Ethernet is 10/100BaseTX, described as working with a 1000Base-T network. That does not make the printer interface gigabit. Wireless requires optional MarkNet hardware rather than being supplied with the dn configuration.
An original manufacturer page for the same part explicitly names AirPrint for iOS. Use the scoped guide's suitable shared-network arrangement and compatible device, rather than assuming a USB computer cable provides mobile discovery. Mopria availability for the exact setup remains unestablished here and should be confirmed when it is essential.
The exact page also names Confidential Print, and the scoped manual documents compatible Print and Hold submission, a computer-set four-digit PIN and Held Jobs release at the printer. Ordinary protected jobs use memory without requiring an optional disk. A generic mobile print action need not submit the same confidential job, so verify the actual protected-job driver and application.
Use the CS417 supplies and real body dimensions
Supplied US toner is declared at 1,400 black pages and 750 for each color. Higher-yield replacements include 71B1HK0 black at 6,000 pages and 71B1HC0, 71B1HM0 and 71B1HY0 colors at 3,500 each. Standard-yield options have their own 71B identifiers. Their ISO/IEC 19798 declarations, regional compatibility and Return Program conditions should be read together, keeping separate imaging/developer components in the maintenance picture.
These yields do not establish present printing cost. The body is 17.4 inches wide, 16.0 deep and 11.5 high at 45.2 pounds. Allow loading, service and guide-extension room, inspect the electrical label and proper cord, and confirm that the complete installed arrangement fits the actual space.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Maker maximum 32 one-sided Letter pages/minute black/color; automatic print duplex separately 15 Letter sides/minute for each. Mode declarations, not measured results.
Paper handling
Included 250-sheet main drawer plus a one-sheet manual feeder: 250+1 headline sheets at 20 lb/75 gsm, with a 250-sheet ordinary main stack. Letter/Legal/A4 support the drawer. Suitable envelopes use the separate one-sided manual-feed routine. Optional input is not included. Included duplex supports Letter/Legal/A4. Detailed maximum is 1,450+1 with optional duo and further drawer, conflicting with a generic 850-sheet marketing sentence; neither expansion is included. Verify the actual supported accessory stack.
Scanning arrangement
Explicitly print-only color laser hardware. No paper scanner, document feeder, copier or fax. A control screen and generic print/scan software names do not supply capture hardware.
Computer and mobile connections
Included USB Type-B computer interface, front Type-A and 10/100BaseTX Ethernet. Compatibility with a 1000Base-T network is not a gigabit printer-port rating. Wi-Fi requires optional MarkNet hardware. Documented shared-network AirPrint is separate from USB-only computer printing; no included Wi-Fi Direct arrangement is established.
Supplies and declared yields
US supplied black toner is declared at 1,400 pages, each color at 750. High-yield replacements: 71B1HK0 black 6,000; 71B1HC0/71B1HM0/71B1HY0 colors 3,500 each. Standard 71B10K0 black 3,000 and 71B10C0/M0/Y0 colors 2,300 each also listed. ISO/IEC 19798 declarations vary in use. Respect region/Return Program conditions; imaging/developer components are separate.
Software and support
Compatible Print and Hold submission supports a computer-set four-digit PIN and release through Held Jobs at the printer. Ordinary protected jobs use memory; an optional disk is not required for that routine. Check current driver/application support; generic mobile submission need not create the same protected job. Same-part manufacturer material explicitly names AirPrint for iOS; use a suitable shared network. Mopria availability for the exact setup remains unestablished and should be confirmed if essential.
Electrical edition and setup
Earlier US reference; verify actual regional part, included hardware and current software. Nominal mains input is unestablished, so inspect the actual electrical label and proper cord. Body dimensions exclude loading/service access and extended paper guides.
