When I replaced my waterlogged laptop a few months ago I got a deal that included a Lexmark wireless printer/scanner

Now I haven’t ben a Lexmark fan for a few years. We had an all-in-one unit that was temperamental to say the least! In the end I bought an Epson and have stuck with them ever since. So, as you can imagine, I wasn’t really excited about getting this freebie up and running.

I finally was persuaded to set it up so that the children and my husband could print from their computers without having to e-mail me or put stuff on a pen drive.

I set up hubby’s laptop to do the initial installation and hunted out a USB printer cable from another printer. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found that Lexmark actually included one - and with a printer that (technically) will not need one apart to set it up!  Bonus #1

Bonus #2 was finding that set up was really easy. No difficulties, no retries - just follow the instructions and off we go…

I then went to install on son’s pc, and that went so easy too (Bonus #3)

So now everyone can print off without my intervention and, so far, my fears have been unfounded (Bonus #4). Have Carlsberg bought out Lexmark and not told anyone??
