  Duration of ownership: 18 Months

  Strengths: This product works well with Windows XP. Print quality, copy, etc is good. In fact it lives up to its tag as an all in one -for XP.

  Weaknesses: This printer is not compatible with Windows Vista as an all in one. The Vista drivers issued from Lexmark, allow only for very tedious printing. There is no scanner support,

  Overall: This printer is not recommended if anyone intends to upgrade to Windows Vista.

  Strengths: 1 Stable for the first months. 2 Software doesnt cause any conflicts.

  Weaknesses: 1 Workmanship flaw with the design of the printer2 Costumer service is non existant so returns are not well accepted. 3. Paper Jam king!

  Overall: I bought this printer exactly a year ago. Things started going wrong about January and just got steadily worse. Read everywhere and others are having the same problem. No wonder why you cant find them anywhere. There is an actual problem with the design of the print cartridge componets and assembly. There is a small band that is only held in "position" by a flimsy worthless band that tends to warp after usage. The other way I can print is if I take out the color cartridge. I get "Error 502". Also Lexmark tech support sucks. I never even got a reply after I wrote them about the problem. Ill never buy a Lexmark again and I advise everyone against it. They are in the world of Creative Labs :) Stay away and buy a laser Brother ( that is what my pops got the same time I got mine and his has worked flawless on a higher workload as well).

  Strengths: GOOD Avery Good printer.With fast, high-quality print, scan, copy, and fax facilities, and a 50 page Auto Document Feeder, the X6170 is the ultimate office solution. With high-quality printing and scanning, exceptionally quick print and copy speeds, 33.6

  Weaknesses: NOt compact IT is huge.

  Overall: The X6170 from Lexmark is an all-in-one scanner, copier, and fax machine that delivers both the quality and features that today's users demand.

Copy speeds are as fast as 16 pages per minute (black), while optical scanning resolutions are as high as 1,200 x 4,800 dpi (Up to 19,200 x 19,200 dpi enhanced). The X6170 connects via its USB 2.0 port and provides optional external network adapter support (print only) via Lexmark's N1 Ethernet adapter or N5 wireless adapter.

  Strengths: Easy to install, good price, convenient automatic paper feeding

  Weaknesses: Not found yet

  Overall: It's easily installed and I like the automatic paper feeding feature. If you have multipage document to scan or copy, you don't have to wait for the job done,like the old machine I used to use. Printing quality and speed is acceptable.Scan is not very sharp but with the price, I don't complain. Overall, it's a nice affordable machine for home or small business.

  Weaknesses: inability to scan LESS than a full page - I miss that!

  Overall: I LOVE this printer! I was admittedly hesitant, given less than stable reviews. However, I got an amazing deal, and was desperate (I'm job hunting) so I bought it. Am I ever glad! The set up was sooooo easy. My computer is ancient - nearly 6 years old. I run Windows 98. Given all of that, it still set up like a dream, and I was up in running in about 10 minutes. I need to use all of the functions - and did so pretty quickly. Print quality is acceptable. Not phenomenal - but I've yet to find an inkjet that totally thrills me. The speed is fine, and quality works for the resumes and cover letters I'm needing to send. Scans well - I was happy w/ the quality. The only thing I wish is that I could put a full page on the scanner and choose to scan only a small portion. But - the editing software included helps me to quickly dock down to what I need. Faxes very quickly - no complaints there. Copies - the same. If you need a printer that is reasonably priced - this is for you. I'm quite happy with my purchase, and would do it again even if I had to pay full price instead of receiving the amazing discounts and rebates that I did.
