Lexmark E260D Mono Laser Printer

I had a Lexmark E232 for 6 or so years and it was a great, reliable printer for my modest home office needs. I wanted higher resolution with duplex and so, given my experience with the previous Lexmark, it was natural to upgrade to the E260d.

Well, I've had the printer for several days now and can report that it's everything I was expecting - great print quality, fast print times and no paper feed issues.

The only slight problem ... seemed to be the dreaded Mac envelope mess reported here.

There another efficient, attentive techie took a minute to set up another E260d in front of him, so we would each see and do exactly the same thing. Big dummy me, had been opening the...Read more

Can't believe the score for this machine was dropped under 50% because one or more people (who knows if it's the same guy with an agenda) repeatedly - INCORRECTLY - stated you can't print envelopes on a MAC with this thing. There should be 'tard weighted scores' and 'people with a clue' scores. The tards could yammer all day that a toaster sucks because it doesn't blend their tea for them. The rest of us can actually share valid information.
