I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks now. The main problem that I have is the driver software crashes, usually at least once per day. I reported the problem to Lexmark support and they claim that it is not a known issue. But when I search the web, I find that others are having the same problem (the driver puts a Lexmark "red diamond" in your system tray - when the software crashes, this red diamond turns into a "red X" and a reboot is required before the computer can print again). Also, the scanner/copier doesn't do too well with narrow items. I used to be able to make photocopies of checks for example, with my HP. Making photocopies of anything small is very difficult with the Lexmark x125.

I've had my Lexmark X125 for almost a year now. I'm now shopping for an HP. At least once every 50-100 sheets, the paper feed mechanizm goofs and I have to open up the printer and pull out scrunched paper. And the lines of text on all pages are slightly slanted due to the paper pulling mechanism being on the paper's left side.
The fax/copy feeder slot tries to feed as many sheets at the same time as it can. So to fax or copy a multi page document, I have to feed the sheets one at a time. What a pain.
Ok, one more complaint. This printer, when it grabs a new sheet of paper makes a startling loud noise that makes some people jump.
Pick another printer.

This is the worst fax/printer I have ever owned. If you are going to fax more than one page it pulls them all through at once so you have to feed it one at a time! Time to look for a new fax.

5 out of 10 print jobs are slanted, maybe because it grabs the paper so hard. I've invested a small fortune in ink cartridges alone. Never have seen a machine similar to this one require so many ink cartridges as this one does. When the message displays "change ink cartridge" you can't get anything else to work, so you're forced to buy more. I'll count my losses and buy a better machine.

I've owned Xerox multi-function lasers and God knows how many Epson ink-jets. All I can say is that the unit has worked flawlessly from moment I set it up (took all of 3 mins.). I've had it about 6 months now. The quality of the color printing is superb. Unlike Epson units that seem to clog up and become useless hunks of color-glob spewing plastic junk if you let them sit idle for a few days without printing, the Lexmark prints perfect, crisp color pages every time - on demand. I will never buy another Epson and would gladly trade the 875DC I have for a single Lexmark ink cartridge!
