When buying a printer these days, its always best to get an all In one. That way you will never need to buy another thing if you need it because its all in your printer. Also it works out a lot cheaper than buying everything separate and it also cuts down on space around your computer table.

Lexmark have previously made a lot of printers and quite a lot of all in ones too. This Lexmark X9350, is a great all in one designed as a top end home office, or home printer and can handle a lot of use and a lot of different tasks you throw at it.
The look of this printer is excellent, its silver and white plastic body looks great and very modern, so it wouldn't look out of place in an office or at home.
Everything is nice and rounded, and the actually shape is a somewhat futuristic cube.

The printer layout is designed so well. At the top is the auto document feeder, this can take up to 50 pages of paper, and it keeps the documents nicely tucked away at the top of the printer.
Beneath this is the scanner part of the printer. This an scan A4 sized documents and is so easy to use. It really is just the case of pressing the scan button and it scans the document straight away.
You can then open the who top, this is on a hinge and this lets you put in the 2 ink cartridges.
At the bottom of the printer is another box that stick out of the printer. This is a 150 sheet paper cartridge, this is what your documents are printed onto, and after they are printed these documents go into the top section of the auto document feeder, as mentioned earlier.

This also has a built in section for memory cards and for USB capability, this makes connecting your memory cards from your digital camera really easy and you can print straight off without even having to start up your computer.
Also you can see the pictures you print off before you do it. This is because this printer has a 63mm colour LCD screen. To the right of this is a four way button for navigation, a column of functions and a numeric keypad, this is for setting up how much of documents you want to print.

The twin printer packs are so easy to install. One is black and the other is the whole of all the colours.
The printer can be used by three ways. The first, and probably the easiest if you don't know much about computers is just connecting it by USB.
The next and a little more difficult is connection it by an Ethernet cable.
The hardest, but probably the best way of connection this with your computer is by wireless connection. The printer has an WI-FI aerial, so if you have your own wireless network and know how to set it up then you can use this printer wirelessly and have it anywhere around the house or office and not have to worry about having to connect it with wires.
The print speed is quite fast, however if you do need to churn out a load of documents faster than 5 ppm, then you might want to look for something else.
However this printer is really cheap for what it is, it will only cost you around £150 which really isn't much for something this good.
Its print quality is really good too, and could easily be used by an office.
