3.0 out of 5 stars a decent printer for its price, July 23, 2002

i recently bought this printer and so far i have had no problems. I have printed full length 8x10 best quality color photos and every time the printer has printer superbly. I did experience a paper jam once, rather incorrect paper feed, i just pulled it out, reinserted it and the printer printed it properly. speeds for a 8x10 better quality color photo on a normal paper is 1ppm. with just text the printer is quite upto spec in printing speed and quality is excellent, no doubts there. catridges are costly though. even with color prints, if you use better quality instead of best, the printer does print quickly. overall i would recommend this printer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine print quality -- lame paper feed - easy inkjet refill., April 14, 2004

I used this printer for about 2 years. Adequate print quality and speed for the low price. I became quite frustrated eventually with it because its paper feed mechanism began to jam frequently. It is difficult to clean the friction wheels which are probably the root cause. It seems to me an intrinsic design flaw to have a friction-based paper feed system oriented so that the wheels are exposed enough to collect dust, but not accessible for cleaning.
One major advantage of this printer was the ease of refilling the cartriges - no security code or interior safety pouches or anything to make it tough to do this.

I have used several different printers over the years and this one has to be the worst that I have owned. As mentioned the paperfeed stinks, and the ink does not seem to last. I have soaked the cartage on wet paper towel to get it working again, but even that is a temperaroy fix. Printing envolopes is a nightmare. If this is what Lexmark is willing to dump on the market, I will for sure look eleswhere for my next printer. And probably in the near furture
