Excellent all-in-one printer for the price (less than a color cartridge alone!), and Buy.com offers them at an unbelievable $32.99 shipped free. The install was effortless, suggest downloading the newest drivers from Lexmark (don't bother with the included software as it is outdated). from Buy.com Pros: Nice all-in-one machine that comes with some top of the line faxing software. Cons: Black cartridge costs almost as much as the printer and is not included. from Shopping.com Pros: Cheap, has a scanner and copier function that has been nice to use. Cons: Frequent ink replacement, tedious process to go through each time ink is replaced. The Bottom Line: I would not buy this because the ink must be replaced frequently and Lexmark has banned stores from replacing this particular cartridge. Tedious ink replacement, too. from Shopping.com You'll get error messages galore because the printer thinks you've cheated and refilled the cartridge, so you won't be able to use it. Why does it think this? Because the Lexmark driver includes a file that stores information about the ink cartridges you use. That's right- spyware is included in the software! from Amazon.com We bough our Lexmark x2500 printer primarily because it promised to be a good choice economically. We were mistaken. from Amazon.com We bough our Lexmark x2500 printer primarily because it promised to be a good choice economically. We were mistaken. from Amazon.com I'm a student and I print out reports and term papers and I keep finding out that the cartridge fails on me after no more than 6 tasks (7-8 pages per task). I say on average because some cartridges are worse than others. Lexmark also forces you to print "printer alignment diagrams" that waste paper and their expensive ink and when you recharge your cartridge at Walgreens or some other store, the "smart capabilities" of the cartridge bar you from printing even when it's the cart has just gotten a full reservoir of ink. Another thorn in my side is how expensive these Lexmark #28 carts are. from Newegg.com I bought this because it was cheap. I seriously got what I paid for. The printer wouldn't connect with either of our computers (vista or xp). It took me two weeks and four phone calls with customer service for them to believe it was the printer, not my computers. from Amazon.com My printer did not come with the USB cable necessary to hook it up. The box does state that it may or may not come with the cable, in very fine print that I only noticed after bringing it home. To use it you will be forced to install the bloated, annoying and intrusive Lexmark spyware. If the software cannot phone home to Lexmark, your printer will not work. from Newegg.com Killing all the annoying noises and print "enhancing" color and sharpness tools didn't even put a dent in the abysmal performance of this device. The only way this would even appear to work faster is if you left the printer here on earth and ran your computer at the event horizon of a black hole. Lexmark continues to try and rival HP for frill filled drivers that are more annoying than useful - although they ensure you use ALL their software by making the printer non-functional if you fail to install EVERY LAST FRIGGIN BIT of it. AND, as another reviewer noted, God forbid that you're somewhere you don't have an internet connection or refuse to allow local SERVER services on your machine. from Amazon.com
