Lexmark's Z45SE definitely lives up to its plug-and-play promise. It's easy to set up and use and produces good output, all for a low price. Installation is simple. The drivers are easy to install and the print cartridges readily click in to replace. Unfortunately, the manual comes only on disk, but good support is available from Lexmark's Web site. The printer itself also talks you through the printing process--literally--making it very easy to operate; it even aligns the print heads automatically. From the box to your first print should be less than five minutes.

The Z45SE's attractively styled case is compact, measuring 7.3 inches high by 17.5 inches wide by 9.6 inches deep, making it easy to place on your desk. The print tray pulls out easily for paper insertion. The Z45SE is also reasonably fast: an A4 color photo takes less than a minute. For printing photos, higher-resolution images printed using a higher setting (300 dpi or greater) are vastly superior to low-resolution prints, the latter suffering from very noticeable banding.

The only downside, as with most budget inkjet printers, is the operational cost. After a few months of replacing the ink cartridges, you might spend as much as a new printer would cost. However, for modest-volume users, the printer's initial low price makes it a good value.

This USB-only printer has a resolution of up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi and, according to Lexmark, outputs up to 15 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 9 ppm in color (the reality is more modest). Despite the Lexmark Z45SE inkjet's low-end price, it doesn't sacrifice quality in the quest for a bargain. --Kristen Bowditch

Amazon.com Product Description

The Z45se color Jetprinter produces up to 4,800 x 1,200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution on photo paper. This easy-to-use, Windows- and Mac-compatible printer offers speeds of up to 15 pages per minute (ppm) in black and up to 9 ppm in color. Even with non-photo-quality paper, the printer can achieve photo-quality resolution of up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi, including plain paper, iron-on transfers, and card stock.

Automatic cartridge alignment eliminates the need for manual alignment, as an optical sensor reads the alignment page and automatically updates the printer settings. Lexmark's Accu-Feed paper-handling system virtually eliminates paper jams while handling a range of media, from envelopes to paper stock up to 150 pounds.

Finally, an intuitive graphics interface system helps ensure a more enjoyable and productive printing experience with easier installation, a helpful "how to print" wizard, detailed trouble-shooting, and special job-finishing options. The unit is backed by a one-year warranty.

Decent budget printer.......2003-05-13

Basically the Lexmark Z45se printer performs competently at basic tasks, such as black text/graphics, and basic color applications. The black text I've printed out is equivalent or even better in clarity and depth of color to other printers costing much more, and if one is using this printer primarily for text, then it is definately a solid buy. Color grapics that aren't too complex (i.e. non-photo graphics) also print out clear and bright on normal inkjet paper, equivalent to outputs of comparable printers in this price range. The photo quality isn't spectacular, that is, if one wanted a printer for printing out high-quality photos, this one would not be a top choice. I haven't yet used any of the ultra-top-high-gloss-crazy-bright photo papers with this particular printer, so the choice of paper might make a difference. The only real gripe I have with this printer is the fact that the ink cartriges seem to run out rather quickly, at around 150-200 pages black, and 20 pages color. So caveat emptor if you're a heavy printer user. For the average household, though, I'd recommend it highly.
