Advantages: Extremely good printer for the price Disadvantages: none really
...looking for. It was a Lexmark Z23e priced at £28.99.I thought it would probably be a heap of rubbish, but on inspecting the spec I was somewhat surprised. It has 2400x1200 dpi and is supposedly photo quality.
I tucked the box under my arm, without further ado and set off to put it through its paces!
The printer has a USB interface and this is supposed to make it really easy to install. It was a pain in the b**!I had to un-install and re-install ... ...with the colour cartridge but Lexmark say that you get a higher quality reproduction if you use the black as well. I had bought ink for my other printer earlier in the day and was amazed when I realised that one ink cartridge had only been £2 cheaper than this new printer!
The paper carrier takes 100 sheets of A4 ,10 envelopes,25 sheets of labels and a 20 sheet banner.It doesn't say whether all these sheets are for double or single bed!Whatever, ...

...and the printer was a Lexmark it was a fantastic printer. Then last year it started playing up and not printing correctly but as we never used the printer all that much at that time we really never bothered and it done the trick for my son printing out some of his pictures. One day we were in ASDA and we noticed they had the Lexmark Z23e on sale at £29.99, I had to look twice, as I didn't realise this item could be so cheap I think it was mainly ... ...Like my previous Lexmark printer it can take two cartridges one colour and one black and white but if you don't want to have two then it will still work with just one. The printer came with a colour cartridge which I must warn you are more expensive than the printers which makes me wonder why as it is far much cheaper to keep buying a new printer each time you run out of ink, I was fortunate enough to have some cartridges left over from my previous ...

Advantages: Eas of use, good quality, value for money Disadvantages: Cost of cartridges
I was on the look recently for a cheap, working printer for my siblings and found this little beauty. Now dont get me wrong, this isnt the best printer on the market but for the miserly some of around 30 quid, you cant much complain! I found this printer very easy to setup and get going with pretty good results. I just took it out of the box, plugged it into a spare USB port, used the CD it came with and got it up and running within about 10 minutes. ... ...blurb you'd expect. If you've set up printers before, you can set this one up blindfolded.
You'll be lucky to get 8ppm (pages per minute) black despite what the box says but the printer is quiet which is a plus point. I found that you're more likely to get a steady 6 to 7 pages a minute black and around 3 to 4 in colour which compares quite favourably to others in it league...just so long as your not doing anything too demanding. It comes with a ...

Advantages: only one i can think of is it is quiet Disadvantages: 15 words max is not enough to describe them
Its definateley true the old saying of you get what you pay for and this product is a good example of this.I bought it for less than £30 because at the time i wasnt feeling very flushed but needed a printer for my work as my old one had broke.
I have had nothing but trouble with it since buying it and even though it was inexpensive the ink cartridges are nearly the same price as the printer and forget using copy cartridges because they dont do them ... ...printer uses a usb connection and it as taken me numerous times to install it and then when i try to print something it says it cant find the connection and either starts printing and stops halfway through or doesnt print at all and then wont cancel the print job so the only way i can get it to cancel is to shut down the pc and then everytime without fail it takes out my dial-up connection its just a nightmare!!!!!!
I definateley wouldnt recommend ...
