I had a Lexmark C522N. It was a good and reliable printer for many years. It developed a problem that was not cost effective to repair. I did some research and found the Lex C544N. I am really pleased with it. It is a definite step up from my old C522N. The speed at which it prints, comparatively speaking is phenomenal. I am quite pleased with this printer and would make the choice to purchase it again. I do use this printer in a small business setting. The Lex C544N also has an awsome return program in which you earn FREE toner!

This printer replaced a 5-year-old Lexmark C534 which was simply not worth throwing money at anymore, as replacement toner was unbelievably expensive. This printer uses a different type of toner cartridge which is far cheaper to produce, and therefore will always cost less compared to the old printer. This is still a color laser printer however, which will always cost more then any inkjet printer. For my small business purposes, the increased cost to inkjet is more then justified.

Print quality after approximately 2000 pages printed is still as good as it ever was. Text is razor sharp and colors are quite bright and vivid. I occasionally print high quality logos and designs onto presentation paper, and the results have always exceeded my expectations.

Extremely happy with this printer to date. It replaces an old Lexmark which I had for 8 years. The price is right for what you get.

I bought this printer about a year ago and bought it mainly becuase of a great low price.

While it prints well and is good quality there are several issues that I wished I would have known:
1) takes a long time to print from Safari. not sure if this is my computer or my printer but is extremely slow (I'm talking many minutes for a page to come out). other documents like pdf or MS Word print out without speed issues
2) Ink is very expensive! Much of my printing is done in black and white. the issue is that when color cartridges run out the printer will not let you print anything -- even if just want to print in black and white and the black and white cartridge is full. you can price the cartridges on Amazon.co--they aren't cheap but I haven't compared other printers so it may be comparable.
