Most casual users just want the darn printer to turn on and print right whenever it's called to service. They want it to print nicely and reliably. If you are that sort of casual user then you may just be very happy with a Lexmark Z22 printer using Lexmark Z22 ink, although nowadays it's only available used or refurbished. If you are a business or a high-volume user, you just might want a faster machine.
Most casual users just want the darn printer to turn on and print right whenever it's called to service. They want it to print nicely and reliably. If you are that sort of casual user then you may just be very happy with a Lexmark Z22 printer using Lexmark Z22 ink, although nowadays it's only available used or refurbished. If you are a business or a high-volume user, you just might want a faster machine. The printer made most of its owners happy when it was produced. It was noted to have worked reliably and made pretty nice color prints as well with Lexmark ink. One of the most common plusses noted about this printer was its great price. If you come cross this machine, however, take note that it was not made for modern computers. A Windows XP user will have to download a driver from the manufacturer's web page and Windows Vista users may be out of luck (I haven't tested this myself). A major consideration for purchasing this printer is the reasonable price. At the time this printer was in production, it was known for being a good deal for what you got. If you have an opportunity to purchase this printer refurbished or used, make sure that it still is a very good deal for a used printer (and make sure it is in good condition too). Z22 printer ink cartridge is still available online for under fifty bucks. Like I mentioned earlier, the casual user is best suited for this printer. It has a print speed of just under seven pages per minute for black and white, and under four for color prints. This will actually be just fine for most home users that are, for example, printing step-by-step directions from a mapping website. If you are a big home or business user, however, you will probably be irritated by the slow speed. Another thing to consider before committing to this printer is the fact that it uses two different types of Lexmark Z22 ink cartridge: one for normal color pages and one for printed photos. Since it only has space to install one color cartridge at a time, you will need to switch them back and forth as your color needs change. You will also want to know what it can do for you, and if that matches what you need from it. It will take paper as small as 3 by 5 inches, and as large as 8.5 by 17 inches. It holds one hundred sheets of paper at a time, and twenty pages of photo paper and ten envelopes. This printer can interface with your computer by either a parallel or USB cord. As a respected computer peripheral manufacturing company, you can feel pretty safe with the brand name or Lexmark. They were described as one of the most admired companies of their field by Fortune magazine, and have grown their operations since 1991 to a company that makes about five billion dollars in revenue a year. About the Author: If you end up with this machine, expect the Lexmark Z22 ink to cost about $35-45 dollars and be available at online ink retailers. Also expect to find a great deal for a decent printer. Add Lexmark ink and go forth and print!
