- Ultra-cheap (40$) inkjet printer, allows only to use one cartridge
- at a time, either 3-color (32$) or black (29$). Coming with only a
- colour cartridge and Lexmark cartridges being known to be
- expensive this printer is a very expensive solution in terms of
- the per-page cost. In addition probably the mechanics is very
- flimsy. I (Till) have the Z22 in my test rack and this model is
- already bad enough, and in addition, a simple calculation tells
- you that they sell you the mechanics for only 8 bucks, assuming
- that the cartridge coming with the printer is not a half-full
- starter cartridge. So one can even not recommend this printer to
- Windows users.<p>

- Unfortunately, there is no free software driver, but <a
- href="http://www.lexmark.com">Lexmark</a>
- provides a Linux/x86 binary-only driver. To get it, simply follow
- the "Drivers" link on the home page. The drivers issued
- by Lexmark do not contain any CUPS or PDQ configuration file, so
- use them either with LPD or with my <a
- href="download/printing/lexmark-foomatic-kit.tar.gz">Lexmark
- Foomatic Kit</a>. Download it, uncompress it, and follow the
- instructions of its README file. Due to having access to all
- options of the driver it leads even to a better printout quality
- than the Lexmark driver with its original configuration
- software.<p>
-
- There are unsubstantiated rumours that this printer does now work
- with one of the free Lexmark drivers. If so do tell!
