A lot for a little
After building my latest computer I discovered that the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P P45 775 R motherboard did not have a serial connector anymore. Rather than to mess with serial to USB conversion schemes I decided to put my still perfectly functional Epson Stylus 760 out to pasture. After seeing the [...] reviews and the price I got the Lexmark S305. It virtually set itself up as soon as I had power and the USB cable connected. It ran a complete self test and was up and ready for more before I even loaded the included CD. It's fast ready to go in seconds after I hit the power switch and for my limited printing and scanning needs it is perfect. I never use printers to reproduce photos there are better and more professional ways to do that. I noticed just one little oddity that is far from a show stopper. When I switched it to B&W it still reproduced colors that were on the original. It is fast way faster than what it replaced. I like the fact that it can use WiFi and I also like the HD card and flash memory ports. Cnet pinged on the minimal display screen but also said that if you need more of a display you will have to buy a much more expensive printer. I never had a LCD display at all so I don't miss it and the small screen it does have provides whatever info I need. The only minor complaint I have since I use the USB connection rather than WiFI at this time was that the included USB cable was too short for my particular equipment layout. Luckily I had an extension cable around and did not have to rearrange equipment.More detail ...
