Questions[lexmark](ubuntu)

The Lexmark E210 support site provides the printer driver for RedHat Linux systems, however, I think that is not for Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu.

What files and steps are needed to drive the Lexmark E210? If you have had success, please indicate this in your response and the version of Ubuntu or Lubuntu.

I am having trouble setting my new Dell v313w printer (which is a Lexmark S305 with a Dell logo) on Ubuntu 12.10.

I installed the drivers from http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=product&segment=DOWNLOAD&productCode=LEXMARK_IMPACT_S305&locale=en&userlocale=DE#2 they only have drivers for Ubuntu 12.04 but that should not be a problem, or should it?

After that Ubuntu sees that I have a Lexmark printer and propose me to plug it in via usb in order to configure it.

But it does not see the printer although it is connected to my computer via usb.

This printer does not have an ethernet port so I can only access it via usb.

What should I do?

Thanks for your replies.

Regards.

I have a problem installing Lexmark X6675 driver on Precise and have problem.

The package has a blank line in Description field which wasn't a problem all the way up to Oneiric but it is a problem on Precise.

Is there any way to work around it?

I can't get my Lexmark X2600 printer working. I tried a lot of things find over the net but without any success.

Is there a really big brain who can help me? I really love 12.04 release (64 bits) and I NEED my printer working.

First post here. I've migrated from Windows to Ubuntu 11.10 - yeah! I've managed to get everything working except my scanner. It's a Lexmark Intuition S505 and not listed at all here http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-LEXMARK.

1. Could someone help me with the troubleshooting steps. I am a complete Ubuntu newbie
2. As it's not listed I assume I should write to SANE directly, but I want to make sure I've completed basic troubleshooting first. e.g. it seems you can sudo an call xsane from the terminal, so more details would be appreciated
3. Should I raise a request with Lexmark?
4. Are there any driver files similar to those listed on How can I get an Epson TX560WD scanner working? that would help me?

I have Simply Scan but when I try to scan it says No scanner detected. I use he same Lexmark Intuition device as a printer which works like a charm.
