We bought this to replace our old and worn out Canon S200.
Simply took the printer out of the box remove packaging and installed the cartridges, connected to the PC powered up andwithin 5 minutes we were up and running.
This printer prints at 2400x1200 dpi giving photo quality prints although it can be a little slow when printing in colour.
The lexmark all in one software is extremely easy to use for copying, scanning etc. But it is also very helpful if you every need help with technical problems.
The printer only cost £50 with 2 packs of photo paper thrown in and so was extremely good value.
The biggest downside is the cost of replacement cartridges, the high capacity cartridgescost around £25 pounds each for black and colour. I have tried getting them refilled, but on 2 occassions have had to go back and change for new cartridges.
Overall this is a good printer, a good copier, a good flatbed scanner, not sure about Fax as never had cause to use it.
I would just like to give a bit of an update, during the last month the printer has been used quite heavily by my Wife for printing posters and writing up her course work, we are now using High capacity Cartridges and although expensive at around £25 each, we are finding that they do actually last a long time the Black cartridge now has lasted 3/4 months printing about 50/60 pages a week, so it doesn't seem quite as uneconomical as first thought.
