Summary: Doesn't Work With Windows XP
Review: After 6 weeks of calls back & forth to Lexmark for tech support I gave up & sold this machine. I was able to load it into my Windows XP system & it worked great--until I turned off the machine. XP wouldn't remember it had the all-in-one attached. According to Lexmark, they are able to make it work with their patch on some systems (possible Pentium rather than AMD which I have). Lexmark thinks it is a quirk in XP. Lexmark tech support was superior, we just couldn't make it work with my system even after downloading the Lexmark's patch. The machine takes a little long to begin printing & the print control window is annoying, but the quality is excellent on copies, scans & printing. Lexmark recommended the X83 for my system even though the technical information doesn't list XP as compatible. Go figure. I would buy Lexmark products again. I like their printers & they have excellent tech support.

Summary: Lexmark X-85 Review
Review: Anyone with experience using MFC would be disappointed with the X-85....Although it is easy to set up, the instruction guide is poorly described, much too brief and not detailed in any way. You will be calling Lexmark immediately. The print functions are jumpy, quality of print is rated (5) in a (1-10) rating. The scanner is adequate for a beginner, but it does not have a sheet feeder for multi copy or multi scan. I returned this machine.

Summary: Nice Setup
Review: Got this as a gift. Had it out of the box and running in less than 20 min. (Read the directions, dont just plug everything in first!) Works as I expected it too. The software is strait forward and has some great options, for the home &/or small business owner. I got the recipt with this gift, ($170)and for the money spent its a great value. This gift wont be going back;) Thanks Santa!

Summary: AWESOME PRINTER
Review: I am so happy with this machine. It scans very quickly, I think the quality is great for a home based printer. This machine replaced my HP PHOTOSMART that I bought less than a year ago, the HP was nothing but hassles. I HIGHLY recommend this printer!

Summary: Diosposable Lexmark, Poor durablility
Review: I bought Lexmark Z42 in September 2002 and have had nothing but problems with it printing and had to change out several cartridges that cost $.. a piece. I had found a spring broken that keeps a tray against the cartridges to prevent them from drying out. When I contacted Lexmark. They said that since I do not have my receipt there is nothing I can do about it. Lexmark told me that THESE PRINTERS ARE DESIGNED TO BE DISPOSABLE. So if they break we are to throw away a $... printer once a year and buy another one. What a waste! This might fool the customer once but then he will purchase another product that is reliable. When I spend $... I expect it to last at least five years and not have to replace it frequently.

Summary: A trouble maker
Review: I purchased my X85 6 months ago, since then, I got a lot of troubles with this priner. The first time I used it to print a color photo, it came out all pink. called customer service, they send me a new catriage, now the color is still not right, the images are either too blur or two dark. Also the copy does not seem right. sometimes the first couple of black copy came out all black ink, after a few times, it will do copy. the quick mode does not work properly either. And it constantly lose connect with my computer ( I use window XP). Finanlly I got fed up with this printer, and I call customer service again, now they have 1800 or 1888 number for technical support, upon my request, they agree to send me a new model x5150 with a reasonable extra charge. The new X5150 works great with photo printing, now I can send picture to my family and friend printed from my printer. Compared with X5150, X85 is a trouble maker. Would not recommend this, but Lexmark customer service is not bad.

Summary: Avoid at all costs
Review: I purchased the Lexmark X85 with the hopes of getting a good All-In-One printing machine, two days later I returned it and got a good All-In-One Machine in the Lexmark X5150. Just about everything was wrong with the X85. It missaligned everything, unless it was on the exceding slow Max-Photo setting. Even at regular speed it was way too slow. Whenever it printed something it sounded as if it was about to explode. The program it came with was about as user friendly as a SWAT team to a wanted criminal. In fact the only thing that worked on the thing was the scanner that worked very nicely. Otherwise the machine was [...]. If you are thinking about purchasing the X85, don't. Spend the extra money towards something better like the X5150, heck even the cheaper X75 is better than the X85. So I guess what I am trying to say is do not get this machine, there are much better ones out there, even for less money.

Summary: You get what you pay for!
Review: I purchased this printer because I liked the price and the size. I am returning it tomorrow because I have had nothing but problems and the Lexmark tech support is inadequate. The copy and scan functions work great, but everytime I try to print text, I end up with garbage on the printouts(Black boxes, misaligned characters, splotches of color). This printer is also extremely slow. I am tired of wasting my time on it. I think I'll get the HP 2210. It has had much better reviews.

Summary: Great Product.
Review: I've had my Lexmark X5150 printer for a little over 3 weeks and couldn't be any happier. It prints the most beautiful photos, best text and doesn't have to be connected to my computer. It's won me over to strictly Lexmark from now on. Thanks Lexmark.
