Hi Nick, I've found the Lexmark marketing department seem to get excited about new models and give them a different model number, but for all intents and purposes the printer is pretty much the same as it's base model number. For instance a Lexmark 1100 is (probably) pretty much the same as the 1150. Having said that, yours might be an exception to the rule as I'm not familiar with your *specific* model. My comments are based on a long history working with the Optra lasers. OK, disclaimer out of the way, see if you get any mileage from this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-1100 Cheers, James -- Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United States we really shouldn't complain -- it's still only two cents a day. pgpRMzJBOY52G.pgp Description: PGP signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

James, Thank you for this. It isn't my printer, just trying to help a friend who's just made the transition from microshite to fedora. I'd done a google but didn't turn up this one, must have been on page 10, the last one you'd look at. I appreciate your time and effort.

Regards, Nick Tomlin Heheh - always happens like that doesn't it ;) I'd bookmark that Linux Printing website if I were you. I've used it to recommend printers to other people who needed something new that would work in Linux. It's also good to see which manufacturers are supporting F/OSS - if they support the community, I'll support them with my $$$. I even borrowed an internet enabled lappy at Harvey Norman[1] to double check my Lexmark E232 before buying it :P Hope your friend has a lot of success in Linux - if not, there's a heap of F/OSS available for Win32. Firefox+Thunderbird+OpenOffice = kick arse :) Have fun, James [1] Apparently the lappy was supposed to password protected, but my linux boot floppy soon made light work of their administrator password - heheh -- Celestial navigation is based on the premise that the Earth is the centre of the universe.
