Thanks for the input! It's going to be a mission to find an affordable, Linux Compatible, Laser based MFP, I can see that now. Bummer. I'd think there was a large market for it.

I have never understood why Kiwi's are so enamored with Inkjets! The bloody cartridges are more than the printers!! I hate them, they are fiddly, expensive and a general PITA and their print quality in my experience aint great.

Oh well, when in Rome...

Cheers

I bought a Lexmark Z32 inkjet some time ago - no more Lexmark for me.

Their available driver I downloaded did not work, and no source code or
updates for later kernels.

The cups driver is far from satisfactory - vertical alignment is often
out of line on subsequent passes and vertical lines are almost zigzag.

Support was very polite and useless.

I suggest you look at another make.

Hi All,

Anyone gotten this printer to play nice with mandrake/Linux (any Laser
MFP's for that matter)? If so, how?? Their product PDF shows a Penguin
but I could find NO info re using it with Linux anywhere (Google or
otherwise). And, there is no driver that I could see in MCC for it.

Product URL's (Lexmark X215 MFP):
