The Lexmark P3150 Printer/Scanner/CF reader is a over-rated piece of crap. The card reader (compact flash, sd, etc) works ok, the scanner is half decent, but the printer is .. well.. read on.
The printer cannot do a stack feed. You need to _manually_ feed the paper each time around
The sensor to check if the lid is up or down is so flimsy, it broke the second time I opened and closed the lid. Now the printer thinks that the lid is UP, so I need to push the button with my finger (not exactly a good thing to do each time I need a 1 page print)
The printer supports ''photocopy'' mode ..... but works ONLY when it is connected to a PC - I can't use it if my PC is either (a) off (b) not running lexmark software (c) doesn't have the software (eg if I connect a laptop) (d) If I am in a non-windows operating system (Linux, BSD, ...) What more needs to be said! I'd recommend you don't buy this unless you get it for <RS.2500 body having.< of trouble the worth is scanner only as --- ->
