Driver needs a patch to avoid slow boot,
February 3, 2009 M. Cortes (VA USA) - See all my reviews
There is a known problem related to Lexmark printers. After installing the printer driver, the boot process becomes slow, sometimes takes 17 minutes, freezing all network connections and some other functions in the computer. There is a solution that is not published officially by Lexmark. The patch is located in ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/slowboot/32bit/ for models 49XX, 56XX, 66XX, 76XX.
Other than this inconvenience, the printer is a beauty machine, with all the functions working good.

A Very Good Choice--5 Year Warranty!,
November 13, 2009 Walrus (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lexmark X6675 All-in-One Printer (Office Product)
I too did not get this printer through Amazon, but shopped very diligently comparing features of Lexmark, Canon, and Epson for print quality, all in one capabilities, and price. Lexmark was the winner hands down. I never really considered getting a WI-FI printer, but that was an extra bonus when comparing the Lexmark with the other major brands. The print quality was noticeably clearer, crisper, and richer than the other brands compared. Ink cartridges were a major concern as well. The Lexmark has two moderately sized cartridges compared to the smaller cartridges used by others. I like two cartridges, not five, which one brand requires. I hate that if one color is empty, you cannot print even in black and white. The set-up was easily explained, even for the house full of Macs that I have, no cords or plugs were needed other that the AC power cord. I really like the WI-FI capabilities and have all the computers in the house on the network. I was tired of the problems with...Read more

Good printer -- poor software,
August 3, 2009 T. Lukas (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I bought this printer on sale. I was able to get it to work on USB pretty quickly, but the wireless was another story. After more than 3 hours with the Lexmark tech rep, I now have a slow booting (even after the XP patch) unstable PC. The problem with the wireless was that the installer does not pass the correct WEP key information to the printer to log onto my wireless network. After changing my wireless network to use WEP key index 1 and its password, I finally got it to work. This was independent of Lexmark Tech support who were unaware of this feature. Other issues:
1. The slow boot problem does not always appear on other XP PCs that I have installed the software for wireless printing and was not a problem with a PC running Vista.
2. The printed documentation that comes with the printer is not very good for trouble shooting wireless and related installation problems.
3. To be able to scan to a PDF file, the OCR (text reading) software must be installed.
