I was very impressed with the speed and quality of the color printing when using the standard page sizes. However, when I added the 650 page add on tray in order to get the statement sized paper feeder, (5.5" X 8.5"), the printing slows down to about 8 - 10 ppm. from Amazon.com I just spent two hours with Lexmark tech support regarding printing in Black and White using the Mac OX Driver. They have told me in no uncertain terms, that you can only do this with a Windows driver. from Amazon.com Not to mention the fact that it's a duplex printer. It prints pictures well enough that I wouldn't be ashamed to use it for such, although the wizard does not list photo size papers. Cons: the print wizard does not give a listing for photo size papers. I also wish it had come with a larger amount of memory. from Newegg.com Pros: I wrote the first review directly above, and after now using the printer for a month, I would like to update some of the comments I made. The Lexmark C544dn is an excellent printer, one of the best color laser printers I have used. from Newegg.com Pros: The Lexmark C544dn comes standard with a duplex unit, and the unit is fast, without any jams so far. Print speed is also fast, the colors are true to life, but not as fully saturated as my old printer (see below). from Newegg.com As I was hurrying out of the house on a road trip, I tried to print a Google map in duplex, and it took so long I simply left the house without the map. I don't know what is going on inside, but this is so bad I'm shocked it ever was released. Once I ignore duplex printing, and treat it like a nice feature I will rarely if ever use, then I am generally satisfied with the printer and recommend it for the price. from Amazon.com I just spent two hours with Lexmark tech support regarding printing in Black and White using the Mac OX Driver.

I have been in contact with Lexmark regarding this issue, nothing that I have tried has helped the speed, and I have the feeling that this is simply the best it will do. I still think it is the best printer for the money, but if a business expected to use the statement feeder for volumes of printing, they would be quite disappointed. from Amazon.com Pros: I wrote the first review directly above, and after now using the printer for a month, I would like to update some of the comments I made.
