 I've added a SANE backend for X1100 scanners. You can download it here: http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/scanner_driver/download.html It's been tested on X1180, and X1185 scanners, but needs more testing.

 I've created a SANE backend for Lexmark X1100 scanners. It does grayscale, or colour scans at these resolutions: 75x75, 150x150, 300x300, 600x600, 600x1200 You can select the scan size from: Wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, Letter. The driver has been tested on the X1180, and X1185 models, but it should work for all X1100 series scanners. You can get the Lexmark backend from my website: http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/scanner_driver/download.html

 I originally only rated it a 5 because there was only a print driver available. Since then, I've written a scanner driver for it. See http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/install_x1185.html for instructions on installing the Lexmark print driver. The scanner driver is available. It can be downloaded from here: http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/scanner_driver/download.html The driver has been tested with scanimage, xscanimage, and xsane. It is capable of grayscale, or colour scans and supports the following resolutions: 75x75, 150x150, 300x300, 600x600, 600x1200 The scan size can be selected from the following: Wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, Letter

 I only rated it a 5 because the driver only works for the printer, not the scanner. But, the driver works very well. See http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/install_x1185.html for instructions on installing the Lexmark driver. Lexmark has made a Linux driver development environment available. If I get some time I"ll see if I can write a driver that supports the scanner as well. So, yes I'm officially a geek - I wrote a driver for the scanner! The Lexmark driver development environment is crap. Don't even go there! The driver is available from: http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/scanner_driver/download.html It's been tested on the X1180, and X185 models but should work for all X1100 series scanners.

 Compatability with Linux is very good. Everything was autodetected including USB hub, Sound Controller, and ethernet port. The only problem was the install with Fedora Core 2. This is a bug with Fedora Core! I've heard there is no problem with other distributions... Here is what I had to do to get ready to install: 1. Create boot CD from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/asusp4p800-boot.sio 2. Create install CDs for FC2 from RedHat 3. Create new Kernel CD from http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/kernel-2.6.6-1.435.i586.rpm (although other new Kernels work as well. In fact I upgraded to 2.6.8-1.521) Here is what I had to do to install: 1. Setup BIOS to boot from CDROM first. 2. Boot from ASUSP4P800 boot CD. 3. Follow instructions until prompted to insert installation media. Install FC2 Disk1 and continue with normal installation. 4. When the installation is complete and you are prompted to remove the CD and reboot, instead get a console terminal. Type: ctrl-alt-F2 5. Change the root of the file system from the cdrom to the hard disk. Type: chroot /mnt/sysimage 6. Insert the CD containing the kernel upgrade. 7. Create a directory to mount the cd at. Type: mkdir /mnt/cdrom 8. Mount the cdrom drive at the /mnt/cdrom mount point. Type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom 9. Install the new kernel over the existing one. Type: rpm -Uvf /mnt/cdrom/kernel* 10. Get out of the console terminal and complete the installation. Type: ctrl-alt-F7 Click on the reboot button. 11. You should reboot into a working kernel.
