Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexmark X4650 Multifunction Printer (16F1400)Customer Review: Good printer for the price ($50) Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace my old HP printer that was absolutely incompatible with my new computer (thanks HP for product support). Barring a few caveats, I'm very happy with the unit. I am not using the wireless function, so I can't contribute on that issue. For now, this review will only cover software install, printing from the computer, and the OCR software.
The installation went off without a hitch. Once the disk was in, it was very straight forward. I thought the detailed pictures & instructions for setting up the printer that played while the software was installing was a nice touch for those who may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable doing even this most basic "tech-y" stuff. I did notice some caution images on the USB cable that was supplied, implying not to hook the printer to the computer until the installation disk was run. I didn't pay too much attention as I was already through the software installation, but it may be important for the printer to run correctly to NOT allow Win to self install the drivers.
I printed the required test page (to align the printer heads) & a page of my own, both printing very nice & in a decent amount of time.
There is also an OCR software supplied (yay!) during installation (ABBYY Sprint 6.0). When you click on the shortcut, it finalizes the installation (so keep your disk in until you do this). I ran into a problem in that every time I clicked the shortcut, it would "install" and that's it. I fixed this by running it in Compatibility mode for WinXP SP2. To do this, open the folder containing "sprint.exe", right click, chose "Properties", then "Compatibility", then make your choices.
