Yes.
I currenlty have a Z65 and a working Z52 on my backup computer. I cna't
say much beyond that, except that if you are in North America their
Mexican-made carts have a reputation for being a little variable.
I don't know what it is with Lexmark-haters, but they are VENEMOUS. On
the other hand Lexmark sells a reasonable number of laser printers and I
don't see very many complaints here, not compared to what the haters like,
such as Canon (whose product seems to be improving).
One thing that is true is that Lexmark's per-page cost is on the high
side, but I solved that by bying a cheap laser for all routine like e-mail
and correspondence, saving expensive Lexmark in for color and card stock,
which it prints when most can't take the thickness.
