If you're a fan of uncomplicated technology, you're sure to appreciate the single-function Lexmark Z845. This $50 printer does nothing more than print. Whether printing text, graphics, or photos, the print speeds and the quality are about what you'd expect from such a low-cost unit: good but not great. Also, you should expect to exceed the cost of the printer in ink refills by your second trip to Staples. But with a limited number of printers in this price range--the only other vendor that still makes such basic printers in this price class is HP--the Lexmark Z845 is one of the few options. And it's a good choice if you don't want to overspend for just the occasional print.
