More on Lexmarks Wireless X6570 All in One

I wrote my November 2007 column, from a mostly users perspective (see "Observations: Wi-Fi Printing -- Look Ma, No Cables"), exploring the emerging "standard" wireless interface on many of todays new printers. I used a Lexmark (NYSE LXK) Wireless X6570 All-in-One as my subject device, and found its printing capabilities to be more than satisfactory.

Since finishing the column, Ive continued to use the Lexmark AIO, and recently found a post "Berlinds Testbed" blog from ZDNets David Berlind on his experiences with the same all-in-one (see "HP, eat your heart out. At $150, Lexmark’s WiFi All-in-1 printer/copier/scanner/fax got my cash".) Davids post contains an interesting account of his purchase of the Lexmark product, including receiving surprisingly knowledgeable help from his local Staples store. And like me, he found the Wi-Fis biggest benefit to be location flexibility. (The basement-based Linux print server he replaced also rang true!)

Although I wasnt out to perform a full-scale review on the X6570, I still avoided reading other reviews before my own hands-on experiences with the products, in order to maintain my objectivity. After the fact though, its good to see someone elses similar experiences. This includes my post-column work with some of the products other functions, including successfully copying and scanning using the all-in-ones OCR capabilities. I recommend the Berlind post from earlier this month, including the up-to-now 24 comments, which (not surprisingly) run the gamut of pros and cons on everything from Wi-Fi itself to ink usage and color print quality.
