One of the earliest uses for a network was to be able to share printers, back when printers cost as much as a small car. But as prices dropped on printers and GM goes into bankruptcy, there are still compelling reasons and plenty of different models to choose from.
The U.S. government could save more than US$440 million by creating formal printing policies and cutting down on unnecessary printing, according to a report released Tuesday.
The Lexmark X543dn colour laser multifunction printer offers budget-strapped small offices or workgroups a few nice features at a tempting starting price.
If, like me, you travel regularly with your laptop between different locations, you know how annoying it can be to get even a simple document printed to the right device and in the right format. And if you forget to choose the right printer when you come into a new location? Everything disappears into the wrong queue, only to spit out in a torrent when you connect at the other location.
The X2650 is a bargain bin device at the bottom end of Lexmark's inkjet multifunction range. Its price point may appeal to those looking for a cheap printer, but poor speed and print quality, and expensive inks make this a multifunction that's easy to pass by.
The X4650 is Lexmark's mid-range multifunction. It's a basic unit built and priced for home printing. The unit's Wi-Fi connectivity is it's only real distinguishing point; otherwise, it doesn't offer anything fantastic as either a printer or scanner.
The X4875 is the entry-level inkjet multifunction in Lexmark's business-focused Professional series. The unit has most of the flaws of its more expensive counterparts. Although it does have some strong points, they don't really justify its price point.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to stay safe online, with the proliferation of threats and the new and complex ways that cybercriminals can target people.
Ultimately this laptop has achieved everything I would hope for in a laptop for work, while fitting that into a form factor and weight that is remarkable.
