Summary: Great Printer
Review: I bought this printer because my I print alot of b/w text material. My inket ink was very expensive. I love this laser printer! It has extremely sharp text. I've owned it for a few years and i'm still using the original cartridge. The Lexmark name for quality holds true with this one.

Summary: Excellent print quality and speed, but too noisy for me...
Review: I bought this unit to replace the HP LaserJet 3150 that simply refused to work with one of our two computers. The Optra turned out to be much noisier than the HP, and in a small room, it's just uncomfortable. I'm returning it and will be trying to get the HP to work; I now feel a little more respectful of the LaserJet--I needed the comparison to realize how quiet it is. The noise is not too bad and may not be a problem for you if the printer is not right next to you or you're not as particular about the background hum. Again, the printing is fast and crisp and the installation was a breeze (on Win2000, I simply plugged it in, and the system recognized the printer automatically and installed the driver).

Summary: Good, but check out the Optra E210
Review: My department placed about 15 of these and the newer E312 model on user's desks over the past 9 months or so. We've been very happy with them thus far. Our goal was to displace as many inkjets in the department as possible (inkjets cost a small fortune on a per page basis) and the E310 has been excellent in this role. Since this printer's "little brother", the Optra E210, came out we have standardized on it. It is a bit cheaper and is actually rated slightly faster at 12ppm. The E210 also seems a bit smaller if desktop space is a concern. I have not had the noise concerns that another reviewer has expressed.. perhaps I should get my hearing checked!
