Hi,
I've been using linux off and on for about 2 years, but finally decided to completely switch over. I'm running slackware 10, and everything is going great, with the exception of my printer- a Lexmark X2250.
I've checked google, and linuxprinting.org, and I could find no drivers available for this printer.
So my question to you is - is there anything else I can try to get this working? I'm by no means looking for a "do this for me" answer, but I've kind of hit a wall. Are there other drivers I could try, or some method I could use for now which would be feature limited, or whatever is necessary?

If all else fails, I might just have to run windows in vmware to print, or go buy a cheap printerserver {which isnt a half bad idea, since I have 2 computers... but i just dont see why a printeserver should do what linux already does well :-) }


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

A number of sites, including the HCL here:

suggest that your printer is supported, but I couldn't find a driver anywhere either.

I suppose you could try a driver for a similar model, although logic tells me it isn't going to work for you.

Here is the driver for the 2050 :

and the 2070

Worth a shot eh?

Is this printer quite new? Because if so you may need to wait a bit till someone writes a driver for it.

thanks for the reply.
I believe i may have tried them once, but I will continue to try.

I'm gonna try contacting lexmark also, just in case. Never know!

did you find any driver for that printer? i've bought it because i've read about the compatibility in the url already posted but now i don't know how to make it work. any idea? i'm running fedora core
