I’ll add to this review after I’ve used the printer for a while, but I just installed it to print wirelessly from my laptop and had no issues at all. It was easier than I thought it would be. Just followed the directions =)

I bought this printer on sale. I was able to get it to work on USB pretty quickly, but the wireless was another story. After more than 3 hours with the Lexmark tech rep, I now have a slow booting (even after the XP patch) unstable PC. The problem with the wireless was that the installer does not pass the correct WEP key information to the printer to log onto my wireless network. After changing my wireless network to use WEP key index 1 and its password, I finally got it to work. This was independent of Lexmark Tech support who were unaware of this feature. Other issues:
1. The slow boot problem does not always appear on other XP PCs that I have installed the software for wireless printing and was not a problem with a PC running Vista.
2. The printed documentation that comes with the printer is not very good for trouble shooting wireless and related installation problems.
3. To be able to scan to a PDF file, the OCR (text reading) software must be installed.
4. Be also aware that this printer uses the new “recycle to Lexmark only” print cartridges.

I didn’t buy this from amazon. I needed to use it that day, so I bought it from a brick-and-mortar store locally. I already had an all-in-one device, but I required the document feeder for the bulk scanning of documents. I’ve had this printer for the last 5 months or so, and it works great. I initially had some problems with scanning over my wireless network, but I’ve managed to correct this. I have only use the print/copy/scan functions (not the fax/photo functions), and I am very pleased with its functionality. Ink life is ok — probably on par with other Lexmark inkjet printers.

I too did not get this printer through Amazon, but shopped very diligently comparing features of Lexmark, Canon, and Epson for print quality, all in one capabilities, and price. Lexmark was the winner hands down. I never really considered getting a WI-FI printer, but that was an extra bonus when comparing the Lexmark with the other major brands. The print quality was noticeably clearer, crisper, and richer than the other brands compared. Ink cartridges were a major concern as well. The Lexmark has two moderately sized cartridges compared to the smaller cartridges used by others. I like two cartridges, not five, which one brand requires. I hate that if one color is empty, you cannot print even in black and white. The set-up was easily explained, even for the house full of Macs that I have, no cords or plugs were needed other that the AC power cord. I really like the WI-FI capabilities and have all the computers in the house on the network. I was tired of the problems with printer sharing, which just was not very stable and failed constantly.
The scan is quiet and fast. You can scan to another computer on the network to e-mails on the other computers, to a flash drive, memory card, or just the old fashioned print/copy mode. There is a USB plug for input or output of documents which is very useful, especially for pictures. I also like that this printer holds a larger amount of blank paper so I am not having to constantly add paper or running out in the middle of a larger print job.
I am not using the fax at this time so I cannot comment on this feature. I do have an older fax machine which I disable most of the time due to the amount of junk faxes I receive. I hook it up when I need to send or am expecting a fax. I do not want to waste cartridge ink on junk.
For the money, I am very happy with the Lexmark X6675. It was easily registered on-line and came with a 5 year warranty with Lexmark, which far exceeded the other brands who only offered 1 year. Give this printer a try, you won’t be disappointed.

There is a known problem related to Lexmark printers. After installing the printer driver, the boot process becomes slow, sometimes takes 17 minutes, freezing all network connections and some other functions in the computer. There is a solution that is not published officially by Lexmark. The patch is located in ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/slowboot/32bit/ for models 49XX, 56XX, 66XX, 76XX.
Other than this inconvenience, the printer is a beauty machine, with all the functions working good.
