Lexmark Wireless 802.11g AIO All-In-One Dual Cartridge Inkjet Printer X4850

The software is horrid!

First, the software that is packaged with the printer malfunctions, and the buttons go off the screen. So you need to download the updated software from the Lexmark website.

I bought this printer for scanning multi-page documents into .pdf files but the software makes it a gruelling and hapless process. If you try to do a document of more than 10 or 12 pages, the software often crashes my laptop, because it is so resource intensive. I have a Pentium 4 laptop, 2.4GHz CPU with 1 Gig of RAM, running Windows XP. It takes forever for the Lexmark Productivity Suite to produce a .pdf file from your scanned files. And the more the pages, the more likely it will crash your system and you have to begin anew, scanning in all the documents once again.

Thirdly, the wireless connection often conks out and you have to disconnect and restart both your computer and the printer, for the wireless to work.
