Not true, u just havent done your research! Lexmark are not making the printers for Dell, yes they are VERY alike BUT have you looked at a Brother printer lately? they all just followed a patern to make printers! Yes lexmark chose it first But it is just a patern, noone is making printers for anyone and if you look there are little differences. And no dell are not trying to take hp "on" in the printer business, they are just trying to get into the printer business, a failed atempt i must say, cuz u cant buy there F%$#@^ ink cartriges from anywhere except staples and ther always sold out! I'm ok
