Lexmark's PR rep, Anne DiNoto was nice enough to send me one of the companies top-of-the-line Inkjet printers for review, the Lexmark Z52. Here are the basic specs:

All in all a decent set of capabilities for a printer in this price range. In this price range you will find a few worthy competitors, namely the Hewlett Packard HP932c, and the Epson 860, both with MSRP's of $199, although all 3 printers can be found for less than their MSRP price.

The printer unpacked and installed easy enough. The printer comes with both USB and parallel interfaces, and both interfaces worked just fine here. This is a dual cartridge printer of course. One cartridge a dedicated black, and the other a 3 color cartridge. The regular 3 color cartridge can be replaced with a special "Photo" cartridge, but I was unable to obtain one of these (Best Buy out of stock grr) for the review.
