Title: Slow, doesn't work
Review: The Lexmark Z55 was advertised as being very fast and easy to use. NOT TRUE! It took several tries to get the software installed, and the printer ran extremely slow, when it did print at all. It would not print at all from DOS, or from other computers on the network. Printing from a DOS program in Windows caused a Windows program to pop up and it seemed to take 'nearly forever' to print a simple directory listing. Even such a simple command as DIR>LPT1: caused the computer to crash.A tech. support call to Lexmark (NOT a toll-free number!) revealed that this is a 'brain-dead' printer that does not include the printhead driver in its on-board electronics, but instead relies on the host computer to control the printhead. So whenever you print anything, you're tying up your CPU doing what the printer is supposed to do itself!I do NOT recommend this printer unless you want to 'throw away' half your CPU speed every time you want to print!
