Lexmark might be the devil

By Chris from Tucson, AZ on 1/27/2010

Pros:

Compact Design, Easy Setup, Great Print Quality

Cons:

Expensive ink, Slow Operation, Unreliable

Best Uses:

Dorm Room

Describe Yourself:

Frequent User

Primary use:

Personal

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have two large problems with this printer. The Ink Cartrage the you bought has electronics that can't be reset, so if you try to refill your cartrage your printer will always think its empty. My Second complaint is that the WiFi is not robust and frequently loses connection to my local Network mid-print, this causes the document to be completely malformed. So to be as unbaised as possible: this printer worked well for 11 months, besides the ink, and was a good short term solution.
