Lexmark Printer Z1300 Review

I needed a basic printer for documents.  It always seems to be hit or miss with computers, so I chose a Lexmark Z1300 based mainly on availability and price. I have owned my Lexmark Printer for over a month and, overall, have been pleased with it.

For around $20 the price couldn't be beat!  It came with one ink cartridge which was supposed to be a trial size, but it has lasted for over 50 black/white copies.  It did not include the cable to link with the computer, but many of us already have the needed cable. 

Set up was quick and easy.  The printer program was at first a bit buggy if I had to cancel a print of if I wanted to change printing quality.  I am using this with a laptop that has never been linked to a printer, so I'm not sure which component was at fault.  After reinstalling the printer software, it has worked more smoothly.

The quality of printed documents is fine.  I usually use fast-draft, and even at that setting, printed pages have been very good. 

I would say this is definitely not a photo quality printer, but for inexpensive documents or text it works well.
