Reading this article at PC World, it's not surprising to see them slam the poor quality of Lexmark printers. I've only had a couple Lexmark printers, and they were both duds, one dying after printing eight pages. One of my sisters has one now, and I spent a portion of my last vacation trying to fix it. Here's a link to Yahoo Answers where they state "Lexmark is known for their outrageous cartridge prices as well as poor quality". How's that for a recommendation?
