Lexmark Color Laser with scanner/copier (X543DN) By Mac_Cat The features included fast printing, full color, automatic double sided printing (w/o fax option). It will work as a network printer, too. It was clearly designed to work with Windows, but it is also sold as Mac OS compatible, and the User Manual walks you though set-up steps with Windows or Mac OS at the same time. It is thorough. Thank goodness it's in HTML format, too. I'm a long time HP printer user (30+ years) and I wary of other brands. But, I haven't had a good experience with HP over the years - they just don't keep their printers drivers up to date (at least, not for Mac or Unix systems). Mac users won't have any problems with this printer, and the Mac installer is included. The printer driver did not include a double sided printing option. You have to be working from one of the Microsoft Office applications, to notice a third line of options called "Copies & Pages" > "Printer Features". Opening up that list provides all the printer functions like printing form the options sheet feeder (envelope) and you can turn on double sided printing (from the"Layout: menu), if you look carefully enough. You can also choose binding on the long or short side, too. My first mistake was that I assumed the envelope in the single sheet option feeder would give it priority to the main paper bin (as it does on HP printers). While I am impressed that this printer worked right out of the box (no set-up required). I followed the instructions to the letter, installing the "software" before plugging in the printer. But, it might as well be using the Generic Postscript driver - nothing special about the driver. While unpacking, it took me about 15 minutes to follow all the colored tape to pull about a dozen plastic shipping pins. Not real hard, but I was still surprised at how many of those pins where installed. It is easy to snap off the plastic pins, so use care when removing them. I was not impressed with "pinch and lift" access to the toner drawer - it sticks. But, I do like the small square toner cartridges, which fit snugly in their respective slots. Each toner box is keyed, so you can mix up the colors. The print quality is excellent. Finally, I'm printing off web pages that look just like they do on my monitor. No calibration needed. That's impressive. Color copies and photos look great, as well. If you were used to printing color photos off in B&W on a monotone laser printer, you'll find the color version more interesting. The manual also neglects to point out the importance of using high quality, polished paper for laser printers (probably because HP sells so much of it). Good paper is really important for sharpness and brightness. When you print to a bond or cotton stock paper, it will look fuzzy, because of the paper texture. The printer has an option for gloss, but I haven't tested that with a photo. It copies great, speed is good once it warms up, but warm-up can take 20-30 seconds. Once it's running, it does good. I printed out a 40 page PowerPoint file that had heavy black frames. It often took 30-50 seconds to render a page, but others came out steady. On a Mac, the PDF rendering is done in software, not through a chip in the printer. So, some of the delay was no doubt, on the computer end. However, my Mac Pro has a lot of CPU power and RAM to match. Scanner? - I haven't found any Lexmark installed Scanner applications, but I was able to choose the scanner from the "Import" function in Adobe PhotoShop and Preview, but not from iPhoto. It works, but it's a bit awkward. HP's software takes you directly into a suite of applications that help you edit the picture and print to photo paper of any size, and the have all kinds of printing options like masks. I don't like the rather small, vertical output tray in the back and because of that feature, I did not order the extra paper bin. You
