Describe Yourself:

Frequent User

Primary use:

Personal

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

CR never seems to give Lexmark good reviews but I have had many of the other brands and all have good and bad points. This printer is a little slow to start but prints fast once it gets going. I have actually owned two of these printers. The first one was damaged when I accidentally dropped it (hard). I was pleased enough with it that I replaced it with the same printer even though I had other choices.

Primary use:

Business

How long have you owned it:

Well, I guess you get what you pay for in printers. I would definitely not recommend this due to many problems, like paper jams, resolution, and noise. Second Lexmark I've had, problems with the first one, too, but thought I'd give them another shot due to lower price. Big mistake.
