The second-cheapest model submitted for the roundup, the $249 price tag is very attractive for an all in one unit, especially given its list of features. It has built-in front mounted slots for CompactFlash (types I and II), Memory Stick, Multimedia, Secure Digital, Smart Media and Microdrive.
An integrated modem and supplied software will have you faxing as well as printing and scanning in no time. Lexmark's 53150 is ideal for the budget-conscious or frugal. But be warned, consumable costs won't be the cheapest on a model such as this, although the large capacity cartridges should keep you printing happily, even at moderate levels, for some time.
