Lexmark Z52

Bought this great printer about two months ago. Quality is fabulous, especially on maximum resolution with photo paper. Prints text very fast, faster than my laser.

The connecters are either USB or Parralell, you can use either one but you are only supplied with a paralell cable. Strange really cause if its a brand new ...
