I've been using a lexmark printer for the last couple years and haven't had any problems with it. I would say go with lexmark
Dude, i used to work as a peon in the computer department at Best Buy. After the lexmarks made it off the truck, thrown up and down the ladder, dropped and all that crap, on top of being crap from the manufacturer, i would definitely buy an HP. I prefer epson myself, but thats large format stuff. HP is great for home/office stuff and large format as well. However, Lexmark makes a great doorstop.
HP reasons are many: 1.easy to configure 2.great after sales service 3. easy on pocket yet great in terms on quality go for HP
