Advantages: fast, durable, value-for-money, toner and photoconductor are separated Disadvantages: black and white, not fully automatic print on both pages
...Introduction
Lexmark E 330, a workgroup monochrome laser printer, is my main printer at my workplace. With the size of around one foot in all dimensions (Width: 39.6 cm X Depth: 35.3 cm X Height: 24.9 cm), the printer can be placed almost everywhere in the office; on a tables, cupboards, shelves, or else. It is a network printer which surpassed 40,000 pages right now, so, I have many things to review about!!
Installation and Setup
On the very first day if my use, I've used it as my personal printer. The driver for Lexmark E 330 is included in the package which I found it can easily be installed. You can plug it in USB or parallel port as you like. After that, the printer had to be installed in the network which was beyond my responsibility. The IT staff was there to set it up. I watched them and realised that, it was...

Advantages: Reasonably price for a 3 in 1 MULTIFUNCTIONAL Unit. Disadvantages: So easy to accidently switch off.
...I have had this printer for nearly 1 year now. Be aware that it has been updated by Lexmark and a newer version is available (the X3580). I've done some compairing and will mention any differences I know of below.
What it is: Its a 3 in 1 Multifunction unit. It prints, has a scanner and has a copier. Will connect to your computer via a USB port.
Shops: This is available on E.Bay (various sellers) and PC World have it listed. Its NO longer on Currys or comet (who used to sell it). It'll cost under £40 from the shops and less from auction.
Size: On line you'll get info on it in various sizes. I'll show it in 'old money': Its 15" wide, 11" long and 6" tall, so a fair size. Just look at a piece of A4 on the floor and imagine a few extra inches all round! Once its loaded with paper, the paper shoot sticks out at the back by a few...

Advantages: Built-in network print server, fast printing, fairly low cost, support for Linux Disadvantages: Non-trivial, but not impossible, network installation under Windows XP
...for this printer. When I spoke to them, they didn't think they could, but they may be able to in the future. This was at first a major problem for me, as Lexmark consumables are notoriously expensive. However, after reading up on it a bit, I find that Lexmark offer a 'Returns Program' toner, which is priced at a reasonable level, with the condition that the toner be sent back to them after use, presumably to compete with the likes of Cartridge World.
As I have mentioned, the main requirement for me was that the printer supported Linux, and this one does. It also supports:
- Windows 98SE,ME,2000,XP,XP64,Server 2003
- Mac OS 9,10.2,10.3,10.4
- Linux (as mentioned)
The system requirements vary between systems, but are not unreasonable.
The final requirement for me was that the printer support easy networking. This printer does indeed...

For some reason in my household, we seem to go through printers faster than we go through printer cartridges, I don't know if this is the same for other people, maybe we are just rubbish at looking after printers, I don't know.
