Rating: Summary: Lexmark z45-pretty nice Review: It works really well for the type of printer it is, and it only has a USB port. I was expecting a faster laser printer but got the wrong one, but this works well. I got mine from ...[the local store] and it includes the cd-rom, a color and a black print cartridge. I had a little trouble getting it to work at first, but it was probably just my computer.
Rating: Summary: Pure Nightmare Review: Lexmark is the nightmare of the home user!! Replaced the printer twice: Endless paper jams, printer communication issues, horizontal noise on color printouts and to top this off poor customer support from the Athens, Greece office.
Rating: Summary: El Crapo Printo Review: No, No, No. Do not buy this printer.A myriad of problems you'll encounter if you go ahead and ignore this and every other customer review that you'll find listed here. There was a day when this printer truly impressed me. That day was about two weeks after I had the printer set up and already conquered the first of at least five Lexmark wars. That day I printed out about three color photo copies of pictures that were sent to me through e-mail. The quality of each copy was stunning. I had never seen such detail come from a home based printer! It was pure joy, and... SCREETCH!! Dream over. Suddenly I was completely out of color ink, and it was a $45 trip to Office Depot to replace the cartridge. This new cartridge lasted me another very short life, and then came the paper jams. You'll discover that this printer is extremely fragile while trying to unjam the paper mess. As time goes by, you'll need to hold the paper against the right clip of the upright paper tray in order for the paper to feed in straight. And finally, after a month or two has trudged on by, all the while with the memory (now fading away) of the day when the Lexmark did what it should, my lovely printer died. My printer has become totally worthless because the electronic mechanisms that surround both the left and the right cartridges "shorted out," as the troubleshooting guide has told me so. Take warning and go find a Canon or something.
Rating: Summary: Disposable Printer Review: Purchased this printer, and it lasted just over a year. The print quality for photos, the reason I purchased it, was acceptable, but it burns through ink quicker than my old Epson, and the ink is outrageously expensive. It is almost as expensive to buy your next round of ink cartridges than it is to just buy a new printer. It also frequently loses connection to your PC, and needs to be reset, but this is just an annoyance. The printer finally died after the cartridge holders failed to reallign. If you buy it, realize that you are buying a disposable printer that will last you about a year.
Rating: Summary: Unreliable on both USB & ethernet Review: Skip this printer! I could have bought another one for $29 yesterday but I decided to cut my losses and just throw mine out. It has buggy drivers and does not print consistantly from either Windows 2000 or XP. I have printed 400 pages - most of them test and diagnostics!! JUNK!
Rating: Summary: GARBAGE PRINTER NEGATIVE 5 STARS Review: The first one I had took less than a week to stop printing the colored areas. The replacement lasted about 5 months then did the same thing, of course I had just bought new cartridges. Customer support was inept at best, probably hit a key and send standardized message. After a few back and forths they tell me that it must be a bad cartridge. Give me a break, the color stopped in the middle of a print job. They did tell me how to print a diagnostic page. According to that there was a heater problem. I will never purchase another lexmark

Rating: Summary: Don't Bother! Review: The main reasons I purchased this printer are: 1. Price and 2. The advertised quality of color printing. It was easy to set up and install, but after printing the first test page I was very disappointed. There was obvious horizontal banding, even after aligning and cleaning the print heads. I returned this printer and purchased an HP Photosmart 7550 from Amazon.com (no tax & free shipping = substantial savings for me). This printer would be fine for someone who only wants to print black and white documents, but if you plan on printing digital photos or color documents, look elsewhere!
Rating: Summary: Super Fast and Exellent Quality Review: This printer is great for everything. It has exellent dpi resolution which makes it great to print photos. It is also good for text printing since it prints 21 pages per minute. It is the fastest and best printer in the market today. It was really easy to install it. I definitely recommend this product.
Rating: Summary: LOTS OF FRUSTRATION: Review: THIS PRINTER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP. I have had to download the drivers and patches over and over again. It will work for a few days, and then Iget "communication error messages" and have to reboot for it to print. I switched my HP printer and no problem. It is dependable with Windows 2000. The cartridges are much more expensive than my other printers. Print quality and speed is very good for the price of the printer. The photo quality was okay
