A great printer for home office, cross-platform (Mac & PC) printing!,

This review is from: Lexmark E240N LASER ( 28S0400 ) (Office Product)
We purchased this printer to replace an aging HP Laserjet 4 that we've had for 12 years. Our requirements were that it would work with my wife's PowerBook Mac running OSX 10.3, and also with my HP Compaq laptop running XP. Both our laptops are connected to the Internet in our home office via our wifi Apple Airport Extreme (neither of our laptops are actually wired to the Internet).
The setup was fairly easy, but I should say that I consider myself an experienced user. I've created a simple wifi network using our DSL modem, which is connected to the Airport Extreme.

Manufactures pre-set programming Shuts down printer to SCAM consumers for early and unneccessary change of ink cartridges,
January 7, 2008 The Fan Report (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
The Lexmark printer pre-maturely warns about low ink---very early after new cartridge install--and then FREEZES up and WILL NOT PRINT--even though ink is still a deep saturated black! Manufactor has programmed the printer to automatically cease to function 1/2 way through the advertised number of pages per cartridge.
Manufactur settings do not even allow you the option of continuing to print when you want to or changing the cartridge when appearance of ink actually requires it.
As a consumer, I resent Lexmark's scam to sell more ink cartridges---way earlier than you actually need them. I will not buy another Lexmark product.
