I have lexmark x203n and I am using it on Fedora 14. I have problem with scanner, when I try "simple scan" it says that No scanners available although lexmark x203n have scanner. Is there any solution for this problem?

It should be a .sh file once opened. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/run-exe...-shell-script/
I just downloaded package & it's a .exe file so I don't think it's for you, I'll get back if I find 1 that pertains to your driver.
Method 1:
You may refer to the below links and use the troubleshooters. Check if it lists and helps resolve any issues: Open the Printer troubleshooter: http://support.lexmark.com
Method 2:
You may check if you have the latest drivers installed for the device. You may refer to the below link for getting the latest drivers and check Lexmark X203n Driver
