Umm Lexmark stands for Lets Not Mark Any Thing in Linux. Of course that does not
spell lexmark, but I lost my witty cap today. How much time do your REALLY want
to spend on this. The drivers do run the thing %100 and scanning options
are....Well null and this why Lexmark is like a hated device in the Unix, Linux,
and Apple world.

This is why HP is the holy grail of Unix and Linux world.

just advice for your future guidance, always go to the printers own
site for drivers first. Lexmark do not supply drivers for Linux so you need
to get another printer
