No, the expensive ones suck too. About the best printer out there are HP's. Okidata used to be the bomb in the day....

HP's and Epson in all ranges:)

I'm not a big cannon fan either... two-three years ago they were the cheapest inkjets with photo abilities... not anymore though

Your subject says cancer?
Just stop drinking the ink and the tumors will go away.

I ain't seen a beating like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose

My lexmark is two years old still does fine, except in win2K. The only real problem I have with it is how expensive the ink cartriges are.

What probs have you been having, We have sold heaps of lexmarks, Z11, Z22. Z32, Z42 and Z52's, and dont have any trouble with them

Well maybe you are just unlucky. I have used both Lexmark and HP. The newer Lexmark printers have been relatively trouble free for me. The HPs have been good too. Maybe you should give their tech support a call to see what they can do for you.

I have a Lexmark z52. works fine power by a AMD chip. I remember lexmark being part of IBM. Those printers ruled back then.

I had a lexmark z51, got a good deal on it from lexmark for being a Best Buy tech. Worked fine for a while. Then it got into the bad habit of hiding. If you wanted to use it you had to reinstall it everytime you restarted the machine. But hey thats a small price to pay for a "cheap" printer isnt it??????

I've owned a Z51 and Z52 and have had zero trouble with them. I actually like 'em better than HPs....would recommend them to anyone.

I have a Lexmark Z51 printer and had a lot of problems when I tried to use my old printer cable. It requires an IEEE #### compliant parallel cable. I actually bought a USB cable and it works great now.

I know what you're talking about. I got a Colorjet 1000 that keeps wigging out on me.

What can I say, I had a Lexmark 2030, Which was 4 years old and had to give it away Still Working Great butit was slow, they all were back then. Well what do I Buy this time? Yes a Lexmark Z32 because I couldn't Afford the Z52 right now. Would love to have the Z82. The Z32 was a Simple install and Works Great. What can I say. Oh Yes the old 2030 would Paper Jam sometimes because I would use cheap Paper. My fault. This new Feed works great just drop the paper into the slot. Where else can you buy a 1200x1200 res. for less than $80. ? Everybody elses INK cost are high also. LEXMARK
