| The Lexmark Z845 Color printer is the easiest to set up and use. I had the printer unpacked, setup, and printing in minutes. Envelope printing is a breeze. For years I used high end HP printers. I am amazed that this $49.99 printer does just as good of a job! |

This inkjet printer is designed for use at home. It uses a USB cable to connect to a computer running Windows XP after installing the CD software. The setup guide advises against using the Operating System's "Add New Hardware" function. The software on the CD provides an audio response when printing starts and ends (you can turn it off). The ink cartridge receptacles are color coded: gray for black or single tricolor , purple for tricolor. The Lexmark #28 inkjet cartridge is for black and the Lexmark #29 inkjet cartridge is for color. There are cartridges that contain more ink (#34 black and #35 tricolor). This printer provides automatic alignment of its cartridges.
The 44-page "User's Guide" warns against setting up this product during an electrical storm. [ALL your electronic equipment should be protected by a surge suppressor.] It warns against removing the inkjet cartridges from the printer except to replace, clean, or store (in an air-tight container to prevent oxidation), To recycle a print cartridge put it in the plastic return bag and mail it. The printer will consume power when it is connected to a wall outlet even with the power switch off. Applying power turns the printer on, shutting down the computer turns it off. This Lexmark printer has a modular plug-in power supply. The manual and the carton estimate the number of standard pages produced by each type of cartridge. [You can download the software for Win98/Me.]

I knew I was buying a cheap printer when I got this, and I got what I paid for. It's fine, but nothing special. It bleeds through ink really fast, which hurts my plan for just getting an inexpensive way to print. One annoying thing is that as it runs low on color ink, the quality goes way down, so you have to change the cartridge even before it's really out. So you go through ink even faster than you think you will.
In the end, while there were no real surprises, I think the idea of buying a cheap printer to save money isn't the best plan. |
dreadful came without cords and ink and was for a pc not a mac

The seller did not include any cords, or ink and failed to say it was for a pc and not a mac.
