Summary: Problem with warranty
Review: Continued from my earlier review - after having several problems with my Lexmark printer I took it to the retailer, but they said they could no longer send it back to Lexmark despite the fact the LEXEXPRESS warranty states the printer will be repaired or exchanged. I was given a number to call, which gave the same directions as the manual for troubleshooting, which we already tried. I emailed Lexmark and they refuse to take the printer back for repairs or to replace it. I am so upset they will not fulfill the warranty.I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Summary: Excellent Product !!!
Review: Excellent value and takes almost no time to setup. Print @ high speed or laser quality. Good warranty program. What more can you ask for? I purchased one for my mother and one for me. We have both been more than pleased.

Summary: Terrible Customer Service!!
Review: I bought my Lexmark Z42 last November. I was told at the time it has the LexExpress Warranty, so if it stopped working I could take it back to the retailer and Lexmark would ship a replacement printer to me. Well, it has had numerous problems in the last two or three months such as stalling during print jobs and paper jams and misfeeds. A couple times I tried to print and my computer froze and had to be restarted, etc. We hooked it up to my husband's computer and it did not work there either. ... This is the LAST Lexmark product I ever buy. ...Instead I have had the inconvenience of finding other means of printing my documents and photographs.

Summary: yuck, yuck, yuck!
Review: i guess you get what you pay for. i bought this printer when i was in a bind with little money to spend. i wish i had spent the extra 40 bucks or so to get a decent epson. actually, nowadays, you can get a great epson for a comparable price to this class of lexmarks!

this printer had no internal memory and it's like a turtle on downers when it comes to print speed, despite what it claims. i NEVER got it to print text at over 2 pages per minute. NEVERMIND high quality. printing at high quality from adobe illustrator or photoshop took an average of 20 minutes per page! this was maddening! as a freelance graphic artist, i have worked with and recommended many printers to my clients. at <$150, i love the epson color 880. fast and accurate and cheap. the printer software for lexmark is SO AWFUL that it alone should convince you to go with another manufacturer, like epson or HP.

i now use an HP 990cxi, purchased from amazon. it is close to $300 and is excellent. if you must stay in the lower price range though, check out HP and epson instead. the only reason i even gave this 2 stars is because i am giving it to my mother-in-law and i am sure it will be fine for printing her emails and word documents. anything more, choose another company!

Summary: Very dependable printer
Review: I have owned the z42 for some time. The print quality is great. I have yet to have a paper jam. In my opinion this printer out performs HPs, Epsons, and Canons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excessive Ink Cartridge use
Review: I have written a review and have neglected to mention that;#1, I don't feel the Z42 to be excessive in ink usage, and #2, if you feel the cartridges to be expensive, you can purchase refill kits [for cheaper]...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For the $, Can't be Beat!
Review: I Purchased my Z42 Lexmark about 9 months ago from Amazon. I have been looking at other printers recently, and frankly, I don't see many out there which can do better for the money! Although the Z42 is probably harder and harder to find, I am sure that the Z43, is quite similar. For someone on a budget, Buy it! I have used it with my Canon A20 And more recently with my Canon S40. It is always dependable and gives very good results for the price! I would definately reccommend it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good alternative for color printing.
Review: I purchased the Lexmark Z42 as an upgrade for my photo printing since it had the 2400x1200 bpi density. Unbeknownst to me, my husband bought the HP 932C, equivalent density. We tested them both at home. For photo quality printing the HP 932C performed exponential better. For the price (what I've seen) the Lexmark Z42 was better (~35% lower).
