Question Need a Lexmark X6150 driver for FC5


I have been trying to find a print driver for my AIO lexmark x6150. I have had absolutely no luck, so now what I would like to ask, does anyone know if there is one out there or maybe one that is compatable with this model ??? Any help would be awesome, as of now, I have to keep XP on my computer just so I can print & I would REALLY LIKE to get rid of it all together... I just upgraded to FC5 from FC4...

Go to address http://www.linuxprinting.org/ and see if you can find your printer listed; if not, then you're probably out of luck.

In general Lexmark printers have very poor support in Linux, and if I were you, I'd sell the printer and buy another one, an Epson for example. If you decide to go for a new printer, then check "guten-print" site (formerly known as "gimp-print"):

http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/

All those printers that are marked "Fully operational" should produce excellent result - at least same quality as in Windows. I have used gutenprint with several Epson Stylus Photo printers and they produce excellent quality images.

Thanx for the input, I was kinda figuring that it was going to become a paperweight, now I know for sure
