Mike,

Thanks for your comments and insight.

You read my message well. In March of 2001 I bought a Lexmark Z52 Color
Inkjet. I use it for black and white documents and black and white documents
with color graphics (charts and graphs) and clip art. The printer has done a
very nice job for those tasks. However, it does use a lot of ink. For the
last three and a half years I have had trouble free printing. The November
2000 issue of PC World gave the Lexmark Z52 a decent review.

A few months ago my wife and I bought a HP psc 2175 which we like very well.

Thanks again,

Lee

General way they are put together.. never found one that was anything like
reliable.. some of the worst print quality that I have ever seen.. they
never do well in comparison tests..

AND.. Lexmark were responsible for the IBM printers.. and as an IBM
service engineer, I was expected to fix them.. if you have ever heard the
expression 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', well I will add a new one to
that.. 'don't fix what keeps breaking'..

I assume that you have a Lexmark printer/work for Lexmark/have asked Santa
for a Lexmark (delete as applicable)..

Mike,

I am curious and would like to know what are the objections to the
Lexmark line of printers. What are the negatives that would prevent you
from buying a Lexmark?

Thank you in advance for your help and comments,

Lee
