Next time you're tempted to buy a Lexmark, check yourself into a Psych
ward first...

Any of the three proper printer manufacturers (inkjets anyway) will do
a better job - even their cheapest models. All have their problems
(HP only lasts as long as the operating system because they never
write new drivers; Epson heads can clog; Canon heads can burn out) but
they are all so much better than anything Lexmark produce.
