Advantages: Has the speed and output quality of a more expensive model; lots of bundled software; easy to use. Disadvantages: Catridges are expensive to replace; Sloping scanner bed
...all-in-one solution I spotted the Lexmark X5150 and knew it had to be this one. It combines good printing and scanning resolution with a fantastic price and it was this combination that set it apart from the rest. It matches all-in-one printers double it's price for quality and I wondered how they could sell it this cheaply.
I got it back home and set it up easily. You can either connect it to your PC via a USB cable or using the normal printer ... ...as I have windows XP, my computer recognised it straight away and installed it for me!
The only manual bit of installing I had to do was install the software for this printer/scanner. This is also, very easy to set up and use, and everything you do on the printer shows upon the PC and vice versa and when the PC says that the printing is 70% complete, it really is, it isn't lying as is the case with some machines!

Advantages: Stand alone copier, excellent resolution, FAX ready, excellent software and so easy to use Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges (can buy manual refill packs,though)
Behold the Lexmark 5150. In my opinion the best value All-in -one on the market. When i first got into PC's (about 15 years ago) the range of printers were, to say the least, few and far between, with the only option really being the dot matrix or having to hand write!! These beasts were very noisy and slow and had limited memory. Then along came inkjet (i know there was laser printing, but still too expensive for joe public)....vastly superior and ... ...efficient
· Elegant design
· Volume of ink indicator when printing
· Cost of cartridges around £28
· At the moment (12/03) free DVD offer
In my opinion, i won't need another printer for a long time and if i do change Lexmark will be my choice.
Excellent buy!! ...

Advantages: Produces great results, good software bundled Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges, large / bulky
...'photocopy' it for you. Very useful. There is no need to have a PC connected to the machine.
Overall the Lexmark X5150 is a good printer and scanner combination, however it is let down by the excessive cartridge prices and the fact that the machine is larger and bulky. ...

Advantages: Fast print speed Disadvantages: Ink is expensive, technical support could be improved
The Lexmark X5150 all in one device features a printer, scanner and copier all in one.
Print speed is fast - 19 pages per minute in black and 14 pages per minute in colour. In reality however this is about 10 pages per minute in black and 5 pages per minute in colour - which is still very fast when compared to similar all in one devices.
Photo printing with the X5150 is excellent, especially when printing on photo paper. Black text quality could ... ...having to open up the lexmark software when you want to perform a quick copy.
The all in one iteself is a bit on the large side therefore in my opinion it would be best suited in a large room or an office.
One negative comment I have on the X5150 is the technical support line. I must say that they were not particularly helpful and it can be improved.
I would definitely recommend the X5150 to potential buyers. ...

Advantages: does everything you need Disadvantages: Ink cartridges are not availabile in the superrmarkets yet
...word.
You get the usual lexmark control centre with the printer and as usual is very easy to use to adjust the various settings on the device. The one and only grip I have is that I cannot find the ink cartridges in the superrmarkets yet. I also live in the perpetual hope that someday a supplier will start to sell original lexmark (or any for that matter) ink cartridges at reasonable prices. ...

Advantages: Easy to use & good quality; make your life easy since you have printer, copier, scanner and fax in one machine. Disadvantages: Have to buy ink often if you always print photos; speed is not really fast, but it is okay for family daily life
I bought the Lexmark X5150 All-In-One a few weeks ago. I very much enjoy using it. I do not go to print shop to use their photocopy machines any more. With this ALl-In-One, you can make black or color copies as many as you want. Life is just easy. I am gald the All-In-One saves me a lot of time and money. I also enjoy using the scanner since I have a lot of hard copy photos that I would like to share with friends via emails. Lexmark in addition provides ...

Advantages: excellent quality, very cheap, surprisingly light. Disadvantages: gets through ink quickly, rather bulky.
I found this printer on offer in my local PC shop, when I was looking for new ink cartridges, and it turned out costing less than a colour and a black ink cartridge, with the added bonus or being a fax, scanner and photocopier!
Specification:
Print: Up to 4800 x 1200 dpi Photo Quality Resolution
Up to 19 ppm black and 14 ppm color
Scan: Up to 600 x 2400 dpi resolution (up to 19,200 dpi enhanced); 48 bit color scan (up to 281 trillion colors)
... ...ppm color
One-touch color photo copies
Fax: Scan-to-PC Fax with BVRP Fax software
I thought at this price the quality wouldn't be great, but printing photos on "normal" setting I can hardly tell the difference between the print out and a real photo, and the copying/printing is really fast compared to my old Lexmark.
One thing to note is that this is a USB printer not a parallel port printer therefore some older PC's might not have USB ports or ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Slightly pricey ink cartridge
This Lexmark sereis is pretty good, considering the fact that I've bought so many, and very have pleased me! Well this multifuntional printer, scanner, copier is very easy to install and use. Easy to use and understandable functions on the machine and the software programme. Excellent copy and print quality, and I find this option for quick print is brilliant (saves huge amounts of time)! Scanning is just as simple to use, and the programme to edit ...

This is the worst printer i have ever known and my friend has the same printer and thinks the same.
This Printer was excellent quality for the first month or two but the the change began.
The quality started failing, lines were appearing through everything, ink was being splashed all over the side of the printer. The software froze itself on the computer and wouldn't delete. the scanner scanned things jerky and color was blurred. the paper was ...
