O.K. so my printer is toast. What do any of you think of the Lexmark X5270, it is a printer/scanner which I don't really need the scanner as I have a nice one already, but I can get a good deal on one from a friend, new in a box for probably 50-75 dollars american. The specs read better then the one I just toasted but I expect that after 4 years of service from my old one.
Honestly? Not a big fan of Lexmark, but if you can get one cheap and it does what you need...go for it.
I would just buy a new one to get the warranty. Printers are so mass produced and crap always goes wrong with them. Plus,.. 50-75 is not THAT great of a deal anyway. I mean,.. for a few bucks more you can get a brand new one. Plus I bet the ink goes dry 3 months after you buy it. Then what? :thumbs:
Then what? You get to buy replacement Lexmark cartridges, which are outrageously expensive! I bought a good HP printer for $79 seven months ago, and I still haven't had to replace the cartridges. And they hold WAY more ink than the Lexmark ones.Quote:
