Being an old printer repair technician. I can say I loved Lexmark printers for all the money they made me earn.
Lexmark's quality of construction leaves things to be desired, expecially where their printers connect to extra paper trays and attachments. I was alway replacing paper tray commport structures and most of the time this required replacing major components of the casings. Also their paper rollers are far more difficult to access then a comparable HP.
Unfortunatly the support game has gone overseas like so many jobs of our jobs so don't expect support to be any better with Lexmark than it was with HP. Actually when I've had contact with their support teams I often ended up cursing.
My personal favorite is the Canons. They have long been in the front of the pack when it comes to ink quality, durability and printer resolutions.
For you old timers, remember the HP 2 laserjet printer. That printer was based upon the Canon SX printer engine. Which both HP and Canon sold. The only difference between the two brands was in the actual mainboard. the rest of the printer was identical, but the Canon SX unit was able to print in 600 dpi resolution where the HP 2 can only print in 300 dpi.
