Review: First the good point: Print quality is fine.Otherwise, this printer is a disaster. If you're not willing to spend an extra $30 for an IEEE 1284 cable (not suggested in the Lexmark manual) it will hardly run at all. I couldn't cancel print jobs before I got one, either through the pop-up monitor or the spooling monitor. It constantly detects a cartridge change where none has taken place, then crashes the system. The driver that comes with it won't run it on either of my computers--you must get the upgrade. All-in-all, a very unpleasant experience.

Review: For all of you that could not find out how to use it with a usb why did you not just call the company. If you were a computer professional then you should have know to change it in setup. The color is very good. When you have it hook up with an USB it is faster. It tells you when the cartige is almost. It is pretty fast when you have it on 1200 x 1200 considering how good that is.

Summary: Excellent price, excellent printer
Review: I bought this printer for 170.00 about 3 months ago. Now it's selling like @ 150.00. I never thought Lexmark would build such great printers. Always had thought of them of a cheap brand. They proved me wrong. It has excellent quality for its price. It is relatively fast, which is just good for me. Have had it for three months and haven't had any problems with ink ending or anything like that. The only bad thing about it is its paper feeding tray. Most of the time it takes the paper in so fast, that the paper doesn't go in straight and you have to move it a little bit. Also, if you put a large stack of papers in its tray, it may take 3 at a time or so. Maybe this happens to me because I use the regular quality paper, maybe with thicker paper it doesn't happen. The last con is that the CD doesn't include Windows 2000 drivers, I had to download them. Overall it's a great printer. Buy it.

Review: I had so many problems with my old HP DeskJet 660Cse, I had to try this at $100 less (with rebate) than the upgrade to the 660Cse - a 892C. This has great color printing. Only problem I had was printing a deep blue color from a picture to coated paper, but I noticed Lexmark sells a "photo" color print cartridge. I'm pleased.

Summary: Forget It!
Review: I owned a Lexmark before upgrading to the Z51. I loved my Lexmark. It was reliable, never crashed, gave good quality. Woe is the day I decided to upgrade to the Z51. When trying to print long documents or complex graphics projects, it simply stops then crashes the system. When trying to cancel a print job, it crashes the system. It gives bogus messages about the printer being off-line. I have called Lexmark technical support three times and while their staff was very pleasant, none of them gave me any information that helped. I reinstalled drivers, changed settings at their direction and still it crashes. The last straw occurred today while I was frantically trying to finish a project for a friend's 80th birthday. Sure enough it crashed the system. There are so many problems with this printer that it ought to be withdrawn from the market. I feel as though I threw away my money. I paid a lot less for my old Lexmark and it did a much better job.

Review: I purchased the Z-51 about 2 months ago and am very impressed with it. The price was very reasonable and the quality of the printing is excellent. I had some trouble installing the software (only because my CD-ROM was acting up and I eventually had to replace it). I ordered the software on floppy via telephone and I received it within 3 days and installed the software flawlessly. I can see what others are complaining about when I cancel a print job. Seems to not want to cancel. But that's a minor problem. The quality of the printing is excellent and the "ink level" status is a great feature (if it's accurate - haven't run out of ink yet). I have used media face lables (www.neato.com) and have been very very impressed with the quality of the printing. Good printer for the price. I'll purchase another Lexmark if and when I need another printer.
