Hello I am trying to hook up a lexmark x5250 printer, copier, scanner on mandriva 2007 dell laptop. The printer was picked up on start up but the message said there was no support for this particular model. I went to lexmark website and it apppears they don't have any drivers available either. What other options are available? Is there a particular brand that has better support for linux? Your help is appreciated. John ----cjs reply---- usually if the manufacturer doesn't supply drivers for the printer, then theres a good chance that your printer is not linux compatible. I tried google and found nothing. the links they had that referenced to the linux drivers were broken. Id recommend that you get an IBM printer. they work best under linux ----end of reply---- ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
