Lexmark X4270 printer

Any advice on getting this printer working. It's an all in one deal, I can't seem to find a driver for it that works. I'm running PCLOS 2007, using CUPS.

Sorry to say, but Lexmark is one of the least supported brands out there. You aren't going to be able to get much working on your model. According to LinuxPrinting there's only partial printer support (using the driver for the Z42), and there's no sign of a scanner driver anywhere.

The links in my sig can guide you to some better-supported printer/scanners.
