I think you've been lucky.

Just bought an X85 for the kids on an XP Home system. The software
installation was a nightmare and I had to just about everything the opposite
to what was said in the manuals.

Printed fine for a few minutes but as soon as PC suspended or printer went
in power save mode the communications have been lost and cannot be
restarted.

Suggests unplugging the USB cable and/or power cycling. This implies that
it'll have to be done daily or even more frequently which I'm not prepared
to do. My HP V40 at work is faultless and nigh bullet proof so I'm taking
the Lexmark back and changing it for an HP. The Lexmark is so bad that it
must be faulty.



HP - have had 3 HP printers and now an HP PSC and never any problem or
complaint. The previous 3 are still in use on sisters and nieces pc's
and no problems. Been told by clerks at Future Shop, Staples and Office
Depot to stay away from the Lexmarks.
