LEX MARK Crap On Your Printer.......
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by Mattroberts

Advantages: Good printing, Good Customer Service
Disadvantages: Expensive ink catrdige, Not reliable

The Lexmark I bought wasn’t from choice. I had it in my package with Tiny. But, when I heard it was Lexmark we’d had with the computer, I was thrilled and couldn’t be more ecstatic! I had heard of Lexmark, and I knew it was one of the best around. I’d never used it, but I was almost certain it would be good, and provide me with clear and sharp prints off my work. And that’s what it did for almost 2 years. After ... Read review

It's a beast but I'm impressed
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by LouisaNott

Advantages: Excellent print quality, Economical printing
Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges, even though they last forever

I got this printer from an insurance claim after nagging my insurance company, and was treated to a "better" printer than I should have got as a result (I should have got a measly Z12). Blimey was I impressed. I'm a student, and am used to "making do" with manky University printers, and my old one which was pretty naff compared to this one....not to mention the 100 year old one we've got at home...this printer is a dream. Installing it ... Read review

Quality printing
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by Stefan2003

Advantages: Cheap to buy, simple to run and good quality printing
Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges and full colour printing slow

I've been a fan of Lexmark since I originally bought their 1020 Inkjet printer as a cheap way to buy a printer that is a fraction of costs of it's competitors. When I finally decided my 1020 was past its sell-buy date I had a look at some of the opposition Hewlet Packard, Cannon, Epsom and of course Lexmark. At the time Cannon and Epsom had some interesting deals and so I test drove two printers at a similar price and returned them. Hmm. I saw the ... Read review

Great quality printouts
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by adamdavid

Advantages: Nice printer, quick, quality printouts, low purchase price
Disadvantages: Expensive to run (long term)

...eventually decided to buy the Lexmark Z42 from Argos. It cost me £89 (catalogue said £99, so pleasant surprise there). I got it home and set it up. Nice and easy to do. It would have been even nicer if they would have supplied the USB cable to connect it to the computer with. Anyway, with everything installed, I aligned the heads and a test page was printed. Hmm, very nice. I printed a page of my own to see how it would handle text and graphics ... Read review

Lexmark Z42, Worth the paper it will print on?
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by The_a_team

Advantages: fast reliable printer
Disadvantages: can print slightly bent, pages may be fed out too fast

This printer by Lexmark is a very good and reliable. It can print 5 pages per minute in colour and 10 pages per minute in black and white. It can be recogined by every Operating System I have tried it on. This includes Windows 98SE and XP. The printer contains two main buttons. these are the on off button and the test button. The on off does exactly that, and the test sends a peice of paper through the printer. The printer wil hold around ... Read review

As good as dearer versions
Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by christopherj84

Advantages: does the job very well
Disadvantages: bot suited for an office

The Lexmark Z42 is the older and sometimes referred to as the poor relative of other higher quality Lexmark inkjet printers. It is very fast even for the most complex documents. One of the best qulaities is the ink-use. It doesn't use as much as you'd think. And it does this without compromising quality. This is one of many good features in the Lexmark range. Basically, there isn't much difference from the Z42 and Z52 apart from there prices. It ... Read review

Review of Lexmark Z 42 Color Jetprinter by suprised

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: doesnt last long

...you! But its not the lexmark Z42, unfortunately. works great with Windows environs, but not for long. the ink cartridges are expensive and leak, they dont completely empty before jamming, and customer assistance is almost fraudulent in their advice! We really wanted this printer to work out, too. but it hasnt. Dont buy one, even used. We bought new, and wish we'd paid more and bought the Canon, frankly. We attempted many times to resolve ...
