(More customer reviews)First of all, The P6250 printer may come in boxed with or without the USB cable. The model 21B0000 does not include the cable. Model 21B0281 includes it. For those of you planning to purchase the printer with no cable it will be good to know that a standard USB cable will work just fine with the printer, I tell you from actual experience since I accidentally purchased the model with no cable. Make sure to grab a USB 2.0 compatible (or better) cable.
This printer uses two ink cartridges simultaneously. The factory-installed cartridges are Photo (#31) and Color (#33). You can optionally purchase a Black cartridge (#32 or #34) to replace the photo cartridge. The color ink cartridge must always be there. Lexmark also has a high yield color cartridge (#35) that provides a higher quality image from the printer. If you don't do much photo printing I recommend purchasing and using a black cartridge when not printing digital photos. Is not that that the photo cartridge is limited for pictures only, but with the black cartridge you obtain a faster output rate for other types of documents, and you save on precious photo ink. There is a cartridge storage area inside the printer where you can conveniently place your extra ink cartridge. The printer's front panel displays the ink levels as they get quickly drained. You should purchase your replacement cartridges from a store that sells two-pack ink bundles. Heavy printing could result in a very high total cost of ownership.
I mostly use the P6250 for normal printing, copying and sometimes for scanning. You can make color or b&w copies and there is no need to interact with the computer for simple photocopies. I have not tested the faxing capabilities of this printer.
For photo printing, a few sample copies of photo paper are included. The output is colorful and sharp. Photos may be printed from your computer's hard drive or from a memory card connected directly to the printer's front panel. The front panel supports Compact Flash Type I/II, SmartMedia, Microdrive, Memory Sticks, Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia and xD cards. Inserting a memory card on your printer initiates the Fast Pics software from Lexmark where you can adjust your pictures and print them later.
The printer includes the All in One software from Lexmark. With this user-friendly software you can manage all the printer features such as Scanning, Printing, Photo Editing, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), Faxing and Photocopying. There are also troubleshooting options in case your printer starts misbehaving.
This printer was the perfect choice for me, it should be ideal for any home user. However, you should know that this family of printers, as with any inkjet family is not designed for heavy, commercial-like use.
I hope that my review helps with your purchase decision.

The Lexmark P6250 All-in-One lets you quickly print, scan, and copy documents, and even print photos directly from your digital camera's memory card. Print speeds reach up to 22 ppm in black-and-white with an optional black print cartridge, while everyday color prints can be achieved at a very respectable 15 ppm. The P6250 also features fast 15 cpm black-and-white copying, 9 cpm for color, plus 48-bit color flatbed scanning at up to 1,200 x 2,400 optical dpi. The included software lets you touch-up photos and e-mail them to friends and family in a flash. (Print speeds are reported by manufacturer and will vary.)
Print photos with or without a computer--simply insert your card into the front mounted slot and preview images on the convenient 2.5-inch LCD. When not in use, the P6250 has a flip-up dust cover to prevent dust and debris from fouling the card slots. Another option for photo printing is to simply connect your camera directly to the P6250 via the USB 2.0 port. Either way, the P6250 produces quality photo prints with little wait time, with or without borders.
The P6250 really does come complete, right out of the box. It ships with a media sample pack and both regular tricolor (cyan, magenta, and yellow ink) and photo (photo cyan, photo magenta, and black ink) cartridges, so you can start printing beautiful photos right away. A dedicated black cartridge (sold separately) can also occupy the photo cartridge slot, and if you plan to print text documents, you will want to buy the black cartridge so that the photo cartridge's ink supply can be conserved.
Additional features include step-by-step animated prompts on the preview screen, including an alert to replace an ink cartridge. The P6250 supports an optional Lexmark N4000e for Ethernet 10/100Base TX for network printing.
