dell printers
I'm sure this has been around a million times, here comes a million and one.
Is the Dell a940 printer the same as the Lexmark x5150? Are the ink cartridges the same (only cheaper)? TIA Greg |

The Dell printers are manufactured by Lexmark but, as far as I understand it, there isn't an exact one-to-one coreespondence between the models. I believe also that the Dell ink cartridges are subtly different from the standard Lexmark ones although I think you can modify Lexmark ones to work in a Dell badged printer. -- Chris Green |

Are the ink cartridges the same (only cheaper)? If dell printers are the same as their computers then it will be a modified Lexmark. A dell soundblaster Live card is modified and not supported by Creative Labs A dell power supply is modified (it has a extra wire) and cannot be replaced with a standard power supply (I think you can get an adaptor). The reason they do this is to tie you to their products (at a premium). A standard power supply costs around £15-£20 whereas a dell power supply will set you back around £60. As their ads say 'as expensive as dell' - or was it 'as easy as dell' -- Patrick |

Dell Printers Lexmark Printers with one change, they are modified to ensure that you can only purchase the inks from Dell, which are even more expensive than the ridiculously priced Lexmark carts. Oh and one other equation for you: Lexmark = total crap -- Hecate - The Real One veni, vidi, reliqui |
