 Overall a good machineJul 01, 2010
The Lexmark X204N prints right around the manufactures published specs. Both plain text and pdf print and copy at about 20-24ppm.I know this since I actually timed it. I tested with graphics print and it was still in the 20-24ppm. So, if you are not printing this fast you need to check your drivers on Lexmark's website, and upload the latest updates.
When I first used the scanner I was having problems using the scanning software with Presto Page Manager. It ran slow. Instead, after talking to support, I opted for the other software that comes with the printer called the Lexmark Scan Center. This made the scanning very, very fast. All in all this is one of the best performing machines I have used. Well priced for the tasks it accomplishes. I think many of the problems other people are having have to do with software conflicts, but in the end the fixes are easy and basically free.

 Dead on ArrivalJan 24, 2010
Took it out of the box and got it all connected. Vista was able to get the correct driver downloaded and I was good to go. Printed a couple pages which showed good laser quality. 15 minutes later it was DEAD. I disconnected and re-connected but no luck. It just did not boot. So I had to return it.

Scan and email feature does not work as advertisedJan 17, 2010
This review is for the Lexmark x204n multi-function printer. It's got laser printing, scanning, and faxing capabilities for a decent price. What intrigued me the most was the advertised "scan to PDF and email" feature. It's a very convenient feature that most printers in the low-end price range lack.
I was so surprised to find the scan and email feature that I had to investigate to be sure. If you read the User's Guide, indeed it says you can scan and email. What it completely fails to mention -- and this is very important! -- is it requires an external SMTP server. What's worse, the printer does not support an SSL or TLS connection to the external SMTP server. Lots of technical jargon there, but in short what it means is scan and email most likely won't work for you.
Under what circumstances will the scan and email feature work? It will work if you've got an SMTP server that allows either no authentication or plain text authentication. (Basically none. Your ISP probably gives you access to an SMTP server, but again your ISP will require either SSL or TLS which the printer does not support.) It will also work if you're tech savvy and can set up your own SMTP server on your local intranet, and use it to relay to your ISP's SMTP server.
I do need to add that if you're interested in scanning, but don't really care about the email, the printer software comes with a client GUI scan program. Thus you can retrieve your scanned documents from the printer that way. (I don't really care for it. I need the email feature.)
As for the other features, the laser printing seems pretty good. I haven't used it much yet. I have not used the fax feature yet at all.

 Very good at the right price pointJul 19, 2009
I use this mostly to print out documents at home with some occasional scan and fax use. The printer is set up on my home network and I access it with both Macs and PCs and works flawlessly with both OSes for scan and print.
Print quality is great as you would expect of any laser printer.
I set up the email scan feature and so it is a very painless process to scan a few documents and have them waiting for me in my email inbox. I've also scanned a few color photos and the output is decent.
The size is very compact for a laser all in one which was a big consideration for me.
All in all, I have found this to be a rock solid piece of hardware, so if you need a laser with fax/scan/copy and do not need to print color or photos and do not need auto duplex, this is definitely an all-in-one to consider.
