Thanks. Do you know of any current models that work with 2000?

All Lexmark laser printers.




Keep well away from Lexmark products total
Why?

Its well know on the net regarding the DRM requirements regarding Inks
and Toners, you are required by Lexmark to return the empty Toners back
to them.

You could not even give my a Lexmark Printer.

If you don't believe me do some Google searches..

I certainly wouldn't give you a Lexmark printer or anything else for that
matter.
Lexmark, which took over the IBM printer range many years ago, makes both ink
and laser printers.
Their ink printers have always been a problem, high priced cartridges, but
that
is now true of most lower priced ink printers.
Their laser printers have always been very reliable, toner costs are
comparable
to other manufacturers unless you want to try refilling which is difficult
(like many other brands).
Overall they are what many users want and can last for years.
What a shame you hijacked this thread; the question was "Do any of these
printers work with Windows 2000?". Yianni answered "All Lexmark laser
printers.
". Seems like a very responsible reply and of course accurate, Yianni is
always
accurate and considered in his posts and never rude, can you say the same
about
yourself?

I stated Web facts if you don't like it just to bad..

the word is too (with 2 o's)!

Why the Evil thing to post to NZ News Groups, shows what type of person
you are.


Not evil, I thought you would like to share your technical expertise with the
groups that you so often post to and which concern the country you live in! I
am sure there are many there that will enjoy your rhetoric.

Quote:

Now Lexmark (which already unsuccessfully tried to use the DMCA to wipe
out the refills market) has turned to patent law to prop up this effort
to keep its customers in bondage. According to Lexmark the "single use
only" labels on the boxes for their "Prebate" printer cartridges creates
an enforceable contract between Lexmark and consumers. You step outside
the bounds of the contract (by giving your spent cartridge to a
remanufacturer) and you're suddenly a patent infringer. More importantly
Lexmark will argue that cartridge remanufacturers are inducing patent
infringement by making and selling refills.

Equally true of many printer manufacturers, Epson are a prime example and were
only stopped by European law. Many others do their best in different ways to
prevent remanufacturing of cartridges. Your, apparently, favourite manufacturer
Brother used to say that use of remanufactured or compatible cartridges voided
warranty; they appear to have stopped that ridiculous claim (by the way I think
the entry level Brother printers are good value for money).
