(More customer reviews)I have a Canon MF 5550 which is great except that it is hard to use it sheet feed anything other than standard paper (e.g. envelopes) and was not Windows 7 compatible. What I really needed was a double-sided printer that could also print envelopes and card stock and that would be Window 7 compatible. This printer really fits the bill and is fairly quick. It also goes into sleep mode to save electricity. There are three sizes of toner cartridge to allow you to match them to your cost and consumption needs. Mine came with two paper trays which hold 250 sheets each and a multi purpose tray for your envelopes and other manual sheet feeding needs (label sheets, cardstock, etc.) I load one tray up with "good" paper, one tray with draft paper and I'm good to go. Toner capacity is much larger than my Canon so I expect I won't have to change it as much--so far I am still using the original toner cartridge that came with it.
Reviews I read said the print quaility of the Lexmark E462DTN was not very good for high resolution printing but I found it fine for general office work. I had looked into a color lazer printer but found the cost of toner was very expensive. Found it better to get the best tool for each job. The Lexmark is my main office printer; I use a cheaper color inkjet printer with duplex printing for photos and color documents. This combination seems to work for my needs.
The Lexmark footprint is same size as my multifunction so I had to move the Canon multifunction to another room but I still have the capacity to make photocopies, scans and send and receive faxes. I bought some metal shelving from the hardware store to stack the Lexmark over the color inkjet printer to minimize space.
I have a home office and am not very tech savvy but the printer was fairly easy to set up and have it working with Windows 7 and XP. I printed out the fairly thick operating manual and have it nearby; it is easy to follow and figure things out. There is a door on the side of the Lexmark where you can add memory, I think. Not that I will ever use it but there seem to be a lot more options on this higher end printer than my old Canon multifunction.
I am very happy with this printer.
