Great Second Printer/Scanner/Copier,

My X1240 arrived in a week from Amazon. It included a USB cable and both the economy black and color ink cartridges. Using the included Software disc - it didn't work with my Windows Vista Laptop. So off to the Lexmark web site for the Vista Drivers. The upgrade drivers work fine. Full operation on printing, copying, and scanning. Even has a voice prompt announcing start and stop printing actions. The all in one center icon is a joy to use. Very easy to command the printer from the laptop. Print quality is adequate but not on par with the multi-tank printers. But perfectly adequate for quick printouts. I got tired of transferring documents to a memory stick or E-Mailing to my upstairs printer, the X1240 is a nice inexpensive add on to my laptop. Ink is expensive $60 for the twin pack (bought printer for $48 with free shipping)

On remote assignment,

I am on remote assignment for two years (111 miles from home). I have a company laptop but no printer unless I go to site office. I have a portable Canon C80 printer but the cost of the ink cartridges are over $50 for the colour and black.
The Lexmark X1240 was on sale at Target for $34 plus I had to buy a black cartridge ($17). I recommend the higher capacity cartridges are about $7-10 more.
Setup and running in 10 minutes. Scan and copied tests came out fine.

I purchased this printer off the Amazon web site, that was shipped from another store via Amazon, called Tiger Direct. The box reached me 3-4 days later, in perfect condition, The box contained instructions, a disc for software installation, the printer/scanner itself, the a/c adapter cord, and a color ink cartridge (you must by a black cartridge if you want one. Note: You must provide your own USB cord. I knew this already as most printers I have had required me to have my own, so I already had one ready from an older printer. Installation was quick, turn on your computer, remove the wrapping from the printer, plug it in, turn it on, add paper, add the ink cartridged and install software and your ready to go. This printer prints quickly, even with no black ink cartridge it does well for black text, colors and photos are superb, I have also used the copy and scan options and they came out great. For the price, this printer is awesome.
