Yea and they charge you a fortune for the inks and after market ones aren't available due to Lexmark patenting the cartridge. Better off paying
a bit more for the equivalent Epson as after market inks are cheap for them.

Think its gonna go back, sorry but its just not cricket, can you imagine going to pick your new car up, " its on the forecourt sir, you will
need to go to our parts dept for a steering wheel though if you want to actually drive it" ?

Bet it was cheap tho'!!!
Be even cheaper if you don't use it - no ink, no paper etc etc
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Lexmark tend to be reliable but tend to a lot slower than the claimed PPM --- but personally having had hundreds of printers to deal with
professionally I wouldn't consider buying any inkjet that wasn't made by HP.

i was a Lexmark printers fan for yease then i got a canon printer ,the ink for my Lexmark printer was £43 each for coulour and £23 for black
for my new canon printer its £1 each from ebay (the mrs work pays for the ink so was no big deal but i would say the canon from argos is better)

I have had a few bits of HP kit - my current printer is from them - and the hardware is good. However, I've found that their Windoze software
is huge and aimed at the novice/moron. Their printer management software from Linux is ideal - small, neat and functional. I wish that they made a
Windoze equivalent...

We bought a cheap Lexmark photo printer with a dedicated cartridge and paper pack for £29.99. Refills are £20 for 100 photo sheets and ink and it
reads from the smart card. My wife thinks it's brilliant, she can crop and print a photo without plugging it into the computer if she wants. Our
main printer has always been HP even though the cartridges are dearer, the recycled ones are cheap enough.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

lexmark crap
lexmark - cheap and cheerful, you really do get what you pay for, spend a bit more and get an hp. Much more reliable, don't need cleaning every
other page printed and the ink will last longer than equivalent use. Same goes for epson, would never go back to epson having had an hp now.

You won't find many printers that come with a cable these days regardless of manufacturer, even relly expensive tp-brand lasers etc - it's
just the way the market has gone.
Personally i'm quite happy, i have far too many spare leads from old equipment as it is and don't want to pay for another!
