Special Features
The C500N works quickly and precisely, so you won't waste time waiting for important documents to appear. The system also features sturdy, reliable construction and parts that are built to meet the demands of your business. In fact, the fuser and photo developer are rated to last the life of the printer, so you won't have to spend time and money replacing parts. For added flexibility, this USB-compatible system delivers fast wireless capacity and is Ethernet ready.

Fast, Brilliant Images
The C500N delivers stunning color images and graphics fast. Its speed is truly impressive: 31 pages per minute (ppm) in monochrome, and 8 ppm in color. The time to first print speed is as fast as 13 seconds in mono and 19 seconds in color. For sharp, clear pages, the C500N offers both a black and color resolution of 1200 x 600 dots per inches (dpi). You'll also never have to worry about large jobs compromising either the speed or quality of the printed images; the 200 MHz processor and 64 MB of memory ensure consistent results.

Efficient Paper Handling
There's nothing more frustrating than sending a job to the printer, only to discover that the machine ran out of paper before it finished. The C500N, however, can take on even large jobs with ease, thanks to a standard 250-sheet input tray and output bin as well as a 530 sheet optional paper handling drawer. With a standard input/output capacity of 250 pages, and a maximum input capacity of 780 pages, this machine gives you more time to spend on other tasks. The C500N is also extremely flexible and prints on a variety of different types and sizes of envelopes and papers, including card stock.

Warranty
One-year, on-site repair warranty


What's in the Box
Lexmark C500n printer, starter toner cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), photo developer cartridge, waste toner bottle, drivers and publications CD-ROM, and power cord.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Works well on Mac OS X networks.......2007-09-12

I bought this printer when it was on sale and included a rebate. We were using a Brother MFC8300 for years prior to this while waiting for the day when color laser printers became affordable for the small home office.
That day came and we have been VERY pleased with the quality and reliability of this printer.
We have a Qwest Actiontec DSL modem hooked up to our Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g WAN port.
I plugged the printer into the base station's ethernet LAN port.
We downloaded the latest drivers from Lexmark to our 3 Macs, Powermac G4 10.4, MacBook Core2Duo 10.4 and iBook G3 10.3 and used the Printer Setup Utility to ready the printer.
All computers saw the device and setup was flawless. They have all printed to it without any issues.
We are very please with our purchase.

1 out of 5 stars Never will work with Vista.......2007-06-10

Lexmark still makes this printer, but does not seem to be motivated to make a driver for it that is compatible with Vista. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. If you have Vista, then DO NOT buy this printer. It is essentially a dead paper weight without Windows XP or a PPC Mac.

What makes it even worse is that NO DRIVERS will get it to print in Vista. Don't bother trying to find a "close enough" or "compatible" Lexmark driver for it, none exists. It turns out this is an "unintelligent" printer, which means all of the page processing is done on the computer's side, in the driver, and then the resulting image of the page is dumped to the printer, which is why this printer is so cheap.

As a network printer it's pretty limited due to its limited compatibility. If you have a home-office and Windows XP, then it's a good value. It isn't worth it otherwise.

1 out of 5 stars I'd give it zero stars if that was an option.......2007-03-31

I've only had this printer 6 days and am considering putting it out with the garbage. I tried printing on the recommended photo paper and it puts black lines down the back of the paper. It also does not accept card stock very well. Lexmark support (misnomer) first said that it was a defective black cartridge then later said that the printer does not accept the type of paper I was using. Either way I'm dumping this sucker and going back to the HP. I'd advise anyone who wants to use other than just regular bond paper to not waster their money on this printer. Unfortunately I bought it at CompUSA brand new but can not return it because they're going out of business. An expensive lesson but I did learn. Bottom line, this printer is a hunk of junk!!!

4 out of 5 stars An expensive cheap printer that doesn't work well with Macs..........2006-11-29

This printer is a bargain, especially if you get it on sale, with a coupon, AND a rebate. However, Mac users beware. It's Mac support is minimal. I couldn't get it to print as a networked printer and ONLY could use it from my Intel iMac connected directly by USB. Thankfully, you can have it networked AND USB connected to a computer. The Internet reviews all point out the Mac support (even OS9/Classic), but I doubt any of them actually tested it.

The documentation is nonexistent. The CD has the manuals on it, but you have to dig for them. However, you might as well not bother as the manuals don't give much useful technical information. There are HTML web pages on the CD that tell you to refer to non-existent manuals and provide info only for windows users. I guess there is also some other software that isn't on the CD that you must download. Still looking for it.

One review I read online said this printer will not work with Intel Macs. This is not true. To use it on your Intel Mac you must connect via USB directly. Install the printer drivers for Mac OSX from the CD. Then you must open Printer Setup Utility using Rosetta (select PSU in the Finder, hit CMD-I and check the box). Once you open PSU, add the printer and select it via USB (not Appletalk, the network config that I couldn't get to work to save my life). Then print away.

Printouts look great, especially for black which is very sharp. Colors can be fuzzy, at least on default settings.

Be warned! Toner is expensive. Each color will run you $100 apiece and the high capacity cartridges cost even more. The printer comes with "starter" cartridges only good for 1000 pages at 5% coverage. A regular toner cart can print 2,500 pages and the HC ones 5,000 pages.

Windows users will have a far easier time setting it up and getting the first printout. If you network the printer, you can access its setting via your web browser by typing the IP address into the address bar. Slick!
