Lexmark has unveiled its 2001 line of Z-series color inkjet printers, which consists of the Z23, Z33, Z43, and Z53.

The USB printers all feature Lexmark's "signature features," including one-click driver installation, quick open-and-load cartridge installation, Accu-Feed paper handling, and LexExpress next-business-day exchange warranty.


The Z23 is a dual-cartridge (one black, one color) printer that features a 1200x1200 dpi resolution and print speeds of up to 8 pages per minute for black text and 5 pages per minute for color. The Z23 sells for $80, or $50 after a $30 mail-in rebate.


The $90 Z33 features a 2400x1200 dpi resolution and print speeds of up to 9 pages per minute for black text and 5 pages per minute for color.


The $100 Z43 also features a 2400x1200 dpi resolution, but delivers print speeds of up to 12 pages per minute for black text and 6 pages per minute for color.


The $140 Z53 features a 2400x1200 dpi resolution, and print speeds of up to 16 pages per minute for black text and 8 pages per minute for color. Its "enhanced peer-to-peer networking capability" also allows users to check ink levels and print status from multiple PCs or Macs.


The printers will begin shipping "soon."

    What about the Z52?

    Are they going to make a driver for MacOS X on the Z52? Can I upgrade my Z52 to a Z53?

    LexMark Sucks

    They told me their OS X drivers would be out early April. So I bought a Z52. Then I called them about a week ago to ask where are the drivers? they told me they were not planning OS X drivers for Z52. Bait & Switch! ;-)

    May 10!

    May 10 is the day! I just talked to a Lexmark rep online and he said that we can see drivers for the current Z series after May 10! There is hope still!

    Z82

    I really like the Z82 (inkjet printer with flatbed scanner), but I can use it only with my Windows machine, not with my Mac, because there is no Mac driver. Does that make any sense?? It has a USB interface, so why go through all the trouble of making the printer and not write a Mac driver? That could sell another 50,000 printers, maybe more.

    OS X Drivers

    I've owned a Z 52 for about 6 months. Works ok but no OS X drivers when are they going to get with it. They can have it back if they think i'm going to get a 2001 edidtion.

    Spoke To Lexmark Today...

    I just got done talking (online) to "Brian" over at Lexmark's technical support.

    He said the drivers should be ready, "After May 10th."

    they told me..

    ...around May 1st for my z22. That was 2 weeks ago. I bet that in two weeks we can see the OS X drivers expected to be out "sometime around June 1st." b*******!

    Lexmark vs. Epson

    They're close competitors in terms of price, output quality, etc. but Epson really shines in customer support and Mac support. Mac OS X shipped with their drivers. Plus their new line of printers are much quieter and more reliable than their old ones, and look good as ever!

    Z52 and USB Pr Sharing

    I have a Lexmark Z52 (bought on something of a whim, after seeing it had Mac drivers) and it works great with USB Printer Sharing. I have it hooked up to my server/router Mac at home -- the only computer that can be seen outside my LAN -- and am able to print to it from work. Very cool!

    It's more finicky than some HP's I've used and doesn't feel nearly as solid. However, it was far cheaper than an equivalent HP when I bought it last year.

    It has water-soluble inks, which suck. It also tends to need thick paper or photo paper for full color images, otherwise it drenches pages with ink. Check on that to see if that's changed this year before you buy, or get a cheaper model!

    Lexmark z82

    How hard can it be for a major printer manufacturer to put out a Mac OS x 10.2 driver for the Lexmark Z82. OS X Jaguar sees the printer, it's in Lexmark's court to do something about this. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that doesn't want to shell out another $200. for the newer version of this all in one printer!! Especially when it's working fine!!!
