I have a lexmark z1310 printer from the z1300 series someone gave me, but I can´t get it working under Ubuntu or knoppix. I asked in lexmark.com if they could give me the driver for linux but they don´t have one and they simply don´t care about linux. I found out in an ubuntu forum that others users that are in the same situation than me have been looking for a driver for a while without success. I would like to know how hard it is to write a device driver for my printer and If anyone here could give me anything to get strated with. Thanks

Check their international pages. I found a Canon driver for my iP1700 on a New Zealand Canon page under iP2200 (I think,) which means they had different model numbers for the same thing, plus Linux drivers.

Have you read http://openprinting.org/show_printer...=Lexmark-Z1310

I haven´t read that. I am going to try that driver and I hope that will solve my printer problem, but I would really like to write a simple device driver for a printer, a mouse or keyboard and I was hopping someone could help me get started with that.

If you can find the source code for the one they suggest that may be a starting point
