Rating: Summary: Can't refill cartidge Review: inks run out quickly. and it is not refillable. the printer itself is cheap at $30, but the cartidge is also $30. might as well buy a new printer every time ink run out.
Rating: Summary: yes you can refill the cartridge Review: simple enough I used a refill kit which comes with a small hand drill, rubber stopper hyperdermic and two bottles of ink. Drill into the top (I did it between the raised part of the cartridge) once you break through inject into the foam with the hyperdermic needle put in the rubber stopper. then insert cartridge in printer lie to the software say it is a new cartridge and off you go. Colour is a little harder i believe because there are 3 ink wells to find. it is a great little printer and fairly economical once you know how to refill :-)
Rating: Summary: disposable Review: The price is good, but what they don't tell you when you buy this printer is that you will need 1 of the 2 ink cartridges in about a month with just casual use. Oh yea, uh, the 2 cartridges are 50 bucks. Don't waste your time or money unless you're using it as a disposable printer.
Rating: Summary: Immediate Problems Review: The printer feeds paper inconsistently; the print is always crooked because of the uneven feed. You can not print any text with the lower quality of print because the text is garbled. I will return this printer, but unfortunately will be stuck with the ink cartridge that had to be purchased seperately.....
Rating: Summary: NO PROBLEMS! Review: This is a fine printer and a great value! Ink Cartridges are NOT hard to find! And no, it doesn't come with a black cartridge, but it DOES include a color cartridge.
Rating: Summary: disposable Review: This is my second Lexmark. I would never buy another. I only bought this second one because it was being sold at a fundraiser for my sister-in-law's chorus. It was brand new. First thing is that Consumer Reports wrote that the Lexmark ink is the most expensive of all the printer mfgrs.I'm printing a Christmas newsletter on it. Gripe 1: The side with 6 pictures takes six minutes to print. Gripe 2: The black ink was half used after 40 pages! (This poor speed and ink performance is nowhere close to the specs Lexmark provides.) Gripe 3: The worse thing is that just like with my old Lexmark, the feed mechanism grabs unevenly, and the paper gets jammed. Or it doesn't grab at all. Gripe 4: After a major jam, it smeared ink on the backs of the next 10 pages, wasting lots of expensive paper and ink before I noticed it. I have to babysit this thing. I hate it!

Rating: Summary: Poor Performer Review: This is one of the worst printers you can buy. It runs out of ink very fast and cartridges cost more than the printer at about $30 per pop for a black one. The paper always gets fed in too fast and becomes slanted and jams. It is horrendous. Spend more for a high-quality HP printer . It is definately worth more than working with this peice of junk!!
Rating: Summary: Poor performance. Review: This printer was free with a purchase of a PC, and that's the only reason I did not give it a ONE star rating! The paper feeds incorrectly and jams the machine. This happens with every print job. You have to hand feed the sheets to keep them from ripping. Also, the default print settings can not be changed from the factory settings. You have to set up a print profile and check it every time. I would not recommend this product.
