Lexmark E250d user reviews

Pros Outstanding print quality, auto-duplexing

Cons More expensive than most other basic lasers

Summary This printer retails for around CDN$230-250, which puts it in the higher range for such a basic laser printer. As I see it, you're paying extra here for the auto-duplexing. If you can afford it, though, you won't be at all disappointed. As the CNET reviewer has noted, print quality is outstanding with text and graphics, and speeds are fine for average users - I'm not thinking of a high-volume large office setting. This printer takes about 20 seconds to warm up, so you won't be waiting long. Despite all this, I'm most impressed with the auto-duplexer, which enables me to halve my paper usage without taking the time to flip the paper. Since I tend to print many documents at once, I save time as well. Consider this printer (and the E250dn, which is practically identical) if you're in the market for a basic laser, you want great print quality, and you prefer not to waste paper by one-siding or time by double-siding the hard way.

Pros Duplexes! Good print speed and quality. Good sized paper tray. Have had no issues with paper feed or toner carts. We bought 20 of them, and all are working well.

Cons Lack of an LCD display. Indicator lights are OK, but a display would be better.
