Megan, I once bought a Z22 to use in a motel room for documents and in my experience and opinion these printers are not worth the cost of ink for them even if purchased at a discount. I actually took the thing back and got a refund! You can get an Epson R220 for less than $80 when buying it solo and have a really good printer that also prints on CD's and DVD's. And I just got an R220 at Comp USA at the same time I bought a Computer (and there are similar deals when buying digital cameras) and after rebates it cost me $30 - less than the cost of the included carts! If you buy certain Nikon digital cameras it is free and with other digital camersa $50. Epson also makes some combined scanners/printers, but I must admit I've had no direct experience with them - I can't imagine, however, that they're not better than the Lexmarks. One night of eating beans should cover the difference between a really good Epson and an, at best, mediocre Lexmark - I'm sure your work is worth it...Michael Vendrell -- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Megan Milligan <yasminduran@c...> wrote: > > After stumbling across something at Walmart I really wasn't looking for, I'm seriously considering getting it.

The advantage of the p4350 is the cartridges (lexmark, not 3rd party or inkjet refills) would be much cheaper than what I would buy for my current printer. > > CONS: > Obviously, it's not a higher-quality printer like a higher-end epson, but it's something I can afford. > > Well, that's about it for now.
