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!<p>
Consumables/Refills: color or black ink cartridge<p>
