Lexmark IS a well known name brand.
Don't get me wrong, I have a Lexmark 4039 10+ postscript 600dpi laser printer
fitted with ethernet and extra memory. It makes fabulous printouts but
Genuine Lexmark cartridges for the Laser are also twice as much as HP. I
would consider the Z52 if I had a color camera and needed the color quality,
solely based on the good review they got in Linux Gazette. Someday...
