I bought the Lexmark x9575 after returning the Epson Workforce 600. I loved the Epson but their idea of 2-sided printing is flipping the paper and putting it back in paper tray. I own my own business and need the speed and conveneince of automatic duplex printing.
The Lexmark is difficult to set up. I'm an IT guy and configured my own network, even then I had to call and spend 30 minutes with an out-sourced support department. They couldn't figure it out. I finally realized that the WiFi on the printer will only work with WEP Key 1. My network was set to use Key 3. After making the changes on my firewall/access point it connected and began working.
If you don't use the software to set up the printer on your PC most of the advanced options (like Print Duplex) will be greyed out. Knowing what I know, and working with PCs and Printers for a living, I configured it myself and was frustrated to see the Duplex option was greyed out. Another call to tech support. He changed my TCP/IP port to a Lexmark 9500 Series por and it all started working.
The only on-going issue is that the color is a bit skewed on the first page of the first pring job of the day. I don't know if it's because I'm in Alaska and the air is super dry, or if the temp. in the office is too cold, or if the free ink cartridges that shipped with the printer are junk. Anyway, the first color page of the day is always funky. If I print a "dummy page" in full color before an important document it will usually do ok. It is a waste of ink and paper, but at least I get decent looking images after that. Will see if a new color cartridge will correct the issue and update later.
It is printing, it prints in duplex, it's connected wirelessly, it scans and copies and faxes. It's not the best but it's working, so I'll keep it. But I don't have to be happy about it. Give it a couple of years and I'll buy a different brand.

Not worth the price

The overall construction and setup are good including the wireless. The system is a bit louder than my HP K60 that this was suppose to replace. The photo quality is good but less than the quality of the canon PIXMA series. However, I didn't attempt to fine-tune the photo optons. The biggest problem is the software will not allow you to share or use peer-to-peer networking for this system. (confirmed by tech. support) Once I connected the other two computers on my network all the advanced options were grayed-out. ie auto-duplexing and all the photo options. Therefore I sent it back.
