Summary: Great printer for wireless printing
Comment: I've always had to buy a wireless printer server to accomplish wireless printing and it was always a pain, sometimes it would work for a while, then quit for who knows what reason, then you redo the configuration and the cycle repeats.

This printer had some bad reviews, but considering built-in wi-fi and the fact that this printer costs less than buying the wireless printer server box (where you'll need a printer to go with that, separately) - I gave it a go.

The quality is ok, totally usable for office, home environments, where you don't need blinding quality. If you're looking for a very sharp, high end, photo-quality color printing - this printer won't do. However, for vast majority of printing tasks - it's more than sufficient. Wireless config and reconfig is a snap with the software that comes with it. I was able to easily reconfigure it to work on various wi-fi networks, including WEP - all very quick and hassle free. The config is typically done via the USB cable, which is also supplied (which is unreal, since most printer s that cost more don't come with one).

Definitely recommend this printer.

Summary: Flawless
Comment: I waited to post a review on this printer. I have had no problems to date.
The installation CD walks you through the set up for your PC, and then I just loaded the CD on addtional laptops.
I first saw this on QVC for a higher price, and once again, Amazon had the lowest price with free shipping.
There is also imaging software included to manage and print photo's.
Would highly reccomend this to any house hold that has a wireless network.

Summary: Setup of Z1420
Comment: I just recently purchased 2 computers; one Mac and one Dell; to add to my existing WiFi network. I had been using an HP all in one and wanted to be able to print with all of my computers on it through the WiFi network. I purchased a Linksys print server and ended up with a day of frustration. The Linksys software crashed both my new Dell and my old computer and it was worthless with respect to the Mac. I ended up returning it for this Lexmark printer. The setup for this printer was flawless. Not only on the PCs, but the Mac as well. Total time was about 20 minutes. I don't know about how the printer will last over time, but I would recommend the folks who don't have WiFi printing as yet (HP and Canon) to copy the ease of setup.

Summary: Amazing Technology - A "Must Have"
Comment: The low cost of this amazing printer is less than I expected to pay for just a Wireless Card to connect a printer to my network. Even better is that the included software configures the printer to the network (mine is a Cisco Linksys) and all you have to tell the software is the Network Passwork and it does the rest. Then, a quick visit to each additional household computer (with the software CD) and the entire network can access this printer. Since it's wireless you can place it anywhere in the house that you have an electrical outlet. A bonus is that once you understand the simple beauty of a wireless printer like this, you will be confident to add other new wireless devices to your network (security systems, entertainment systems, heating systems, etc). This is a great little printer AND you should definitely buy it.

Summary: Lexmark Z1420 WiFi
Comment: Ease of use- 5
Speed of wifi printing- 5 -(fast)
Quality of prints- 4 -(but not bad at all!)
Durability- unknown
Life of ink cartridges- 3 -similar to other printers. They do not last as long as you would like.

I have had this printer about a month now. No problems as of yet-- It installed on all my computers in the house and I have not seen any glitches in printing yet. It is very handy to have setting downstairs (away from my office upstairs with 3 computers and 3 LPT1 printers attached). I can use my laptops to print to it wirelessly from anywhere in the house (kitchen table-countertop-front seat of car in garage).
The drawback I have noticed is that the install program installs Microsoft Net Framework 2.0 and the Lexmark Imaging Studio programs on all the machines you want to use the printer with. These are 2 HUGE programs. And the Lexmark Imaging Studio (a photo program) launches very slowly on all machines. A "read me" file with the install tells you to wait a minute or two before launching the Imaging Studio if you have to close it for any reason. That leads to to believe there might be a problem with the program the way it is written if they warn you not to re-launch it for a few minutes. I like my other photo programs better. A call to Lexmark Support says that you cannot just un-install the Lexmark Imaging studio program. It is required to have the printer work (???) I have not tried un-installing the imaging studio after hearing that.
All in all- a NICE printer--very responsive--fast--easy to setup by following the CD wizard.
Lexmark Imaging Studio" has to go-- I give it a thumbs down. If I could un-install the Imaging Studio program and have the printer function normally I would do it. Maybe I can and Lexmark's answer was not true? But I have not tried it yet. I hate to disable the printer and have to re-install--- even though it is not hard. But--YOU know what I mean. Why wreck something that is working.
ALL in all- I would buy the printer again. The wireless conveinence is just to good to give up. I just have to stop thinking about the bloated "Imaging Studio" program and not use it.
