I love this printer! I had a big Lexmark Optra S1855, but it was literally too big for my office, so I got rid of it. Replaced it with the Brother 5250dn. I was pretty satisfied with that, but there were a few annoyances, like how the Brother would always pull a sheet back in to duplex even if there were no second page (duh). Anyway, this E450dn has a terrific small footprint and seems VERY sturdily made (more so than the Brother, IMO). In addition, this has the nicest LCD screen/menu system I''ve ever used on a Printer (the brother didn''t even have an LCD). The network is support is fantastic. It supports everything from Appletalk to IPv6 (though not Netware, in case you have a really old Netware network, for some reason). Vista support is good (though it was a little harder to install than XP).

There are only a few small down sides of this printer: 1) The toner is a little more expensive than the Brother (even on ebay) and 2) The Lexmark, like every other Lexmark I''ve used, makes a small noise every once in a while as it keeps the toner warmed up. You get to ignore it pretty quickly, though. 3) The memory upgrade (if you really need more than 64mb for some reason) is expensive non-standard RAM. On the whole, though, I LOVE this printer!

EDIT: One thing to watch out for: I think the printer is a little sensitive to card stock -even relatively thin card stock. Just to be sure, I suggest at LEAST turning off duplexing for card stock and preferably using the manual sheet feed.

I''ve used this type printer before and I have really enjoyed using it. The one I just purchased curls each page on printing which is a major nusiance and a major problem for me.
