Printers > Lexmark Printers > 600 dpi

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

...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: ...
...was quite easy, using the Lexmark provided utility. Once I had it running, it was impressive to behold. Having had a reasonably fast inkjet printer before, I was expecting it to be fast, but this thing blinded me with its speed. It is rated at 19ppm (A4), 20ppm (Letter), and I would believe it too. The specification says that the printout of the first page should be within 8 seconds, and this could reasonably be said to be true. Image quality, ... Read review

Advantages: Very long working life
Disadvantages: Installation might be a pain in the neck!

...PS2 under the name e.g. Lexmark PS2 and once - better printing quality - as a PCL5 under the name Lexmark PCL5 - faster print speed) and try to use it once as a PS2 and once as a PCL5. This will confuse the printer driver which will start printing the printer software code. For your own protection I strongly suggest you to avoid installing MarkVision (the Lexmark printing control panel facility) which was especially made by Lexmark to drive you ...
...heavy duty printers ever! Lexmark recommends to print on paper stock of up to 180 gsm, while I have printed - with a little pushing - paper stock of up to 300 gsm with no problems. If you are a graphic designer, you will find Optra E+ (with PS2 enhancement) ideal for printing in-house newsletters and other mass mailing documents (brochures, flyers etc.). The Optra E+ prints at 15 (heavy graphics + pictures) to 30 (text + simple line art graphics) ... Read review

Advantages: small, quick, dark grey colour
Disadvantages: rear feed paper tray

...look no further than the Lexmark E323. The first thing that you will notice about this printer when you eagerly unwrap it from its box is the colour. AT LAST !! We have a printer that isn’t the normal beigey/white/greyish colour that most IT equipment seems to be, you know the colour that’s going to have a horrible yellowish tinge in a few months time no matter if you smoke or not.... This is the printer to break the mold, it’s a bright charcoal ...
...has just proved that my Lexmark E323 printer only takes 30 seconds until its ready to print. Another quick press of the "continue" button will print off a self-test which takes 10 seconds between me pressing the button and being able to read the sheet (and no fear of smudging) Print quality is 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). You can certainly notice a difference in sharpness between a letter printed by a laser printer and that printed on an inkjet. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap as chips
Disadvantages: Don't last forever

Although computers were meant to help us cut down on paper and save the rainforest, we all still need the occasional hard copy. If like me, you only do the occasional bit of printing, these offer a lot for a small initial outlay. I have found the over time, the qualty of the print becomes less, these have the feel of being disposible units with few servicable parts. Replacement cartridges for these cost an arm and a leg. If you are looking to start ... Read review

Advantages: High quality printouts
Disadvantages: Expensive running costs

The Lexmark Optra M410 produces good quality printouts with a reasonably high resolution. At ten pages per minutes, in black and white, this printer pulls no punchs and its print speed is comparable with some higher cost equipment. The printer has been highly reliable and so far has not let me down. However, printing in colour has been a bit problematical and the cost of the catridges at £25+ a throw is a bit on the high side, thus the running costs ... Read review
