My wife just got a new Lexmark X2670 all-in-one printer with her new laptop that we want to share.
I can't find any drivers for it for F11. Does anyone else have this printer and if so have you found a way to make it work?
Thanks, Steve
Probably a mistake. Lexmark's parent corporation has an attitude toward linux, going so far as to deny warranty when they found it was being used on a linux system. I've been bit, my employer for 20 years was bit. So most of us old-timers have never bothered to put any fingerprints on their products when shopping for printers. I'm partial to Epsons stuff myself. They, and Brother seem to have us grokked. HP also for large values of sometimes.
I just recently (last couple of weeks) saw an article online, somewhere, about how Lexmark is now providing Linux support for all their printers. But unfortunatley I can't recall where it was.
Ah-HA! here it is: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=lexmark_linux&num...
I stand (or sit) corrected, as I also recall reading that article at the time. Can I plead CRS? Or perhaps oldtimers since I'm 75?
But since the leopards spots go all the way through its skins epidermis, I am left wondering how much surgery it took to accomplish that about face. ;-)
