Re: Lexmark printer
Look at the printers user manual. Lexmark printers usually can emulate/accept HP drivers, and the manual will tell you which HP models. Pick/install one of the listed HP drivers instead.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Lexmark printer
I have an X1180, and thought the same - paperweight. But I got it running on Linux using the Lexmark drivers to another printer (a Zsomenumber). It's very common that at least basic functionality can be obtained if one uses an older driver.
Also, the 'x' presumably means you have the all-in-one. Any luck with the scanner?I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (yes Gnome) with upgrades applied daily about 0900 UK time.
