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.

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

I have over the years had (and survived) with several different makes/types of low cost printers and hands down this is the worst one I have ever bought. The printer is an especial source of frustration when I am trying to print envelopes. I wanted to like this printer after having mixed results with HP and certainly liked the price, but have regreetted my decision to purchase this product after usi9ng for a couple days.

this printer for the MAC. No drivers are available if you have Tiger, Leopard, or Snow Leopard. I just got one of these used and it worked fine when I first plugged it in, but when I updated to the latest OS, I discovered that this and dozens of other Lexmark printers would no longer be supported for MAC. And this was AFTER I had purchased new ink cartridges for this printer (Over $50) which are now useless unless I can find some third party workaround.

I've had this printer now for about a year and a half, and have had NO problems with it whatsoever. The cartridges last a long time, you get an on screen ink level meter, and the print quality is very good. What more could you want for an inexpensive printer?

A step up from the Z45. No need to clean and adjust the print cartridges when replaced. It's all automatic!

This is not a good printer. It jams the paper almost every time I try to print. The only way to be sure it will print properly is the stand there and feed only one sheet at a time! If I even put so much as 5 sheets of paper in, it pulls the sheets crooked and proceeds to jam. I have looked into the trouble shooting, and all it says is to make sure you are loading paper correctly and that you use ink jet compatible paper, which I do. The only redeeming quality about this printer is that it does print decent quality color pics, once you get it to stop jamming!
