Stupid question most likely - so sorry in advance!
I have scoured Cups Man pages, google/linux and a few other places, but I can't seem to find a way to get basic printing ability in FC, using a Lexmark X74 All-in-One USB.
I know the scanned most likely wont work (not an issue as the speed penalty using crossover is nasty on this system so I need to use Win2K for that - and as such can scan in there), but having to save OOo documents etc as DOC files just to be able to print - as I have to open in word which I already have (no need to install software on windows I don't need is there), just to be able to print off a few Spec Sheets and white papers etc.
I have even tryed resorting the the PostScript driver but that wont work either. Cups seems to work, but I get no activity on the Printer.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance John

I don't have one of these devices handy to test with, but if you're lucky it might use mostly the same internals as the X73 All-in-One, which has more support and documentation.
For the scanner, try using SANE: 'man sane-gt68xx' for more information after installing sane-backends.
For the printer, try drv_z42 and the X73 PPD: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X73
Darn - I thought I added that!
The X73 was the first thing I tried, seeing as the models were similar.
Looks like I may have to wait a few weeks and print through Samba :(

I'll give that a shot - cheers!
Just to save me starting a new mail if it doesn't work - you reckon a generic PostScript driver may work if I can find an updated one?
Scanning altohugh nice - like I said isnt a priority. Printing though is!
