I have a Lexmark 730 printer attached to a Windows XP PC. The printer IS shared. I want to get my wireless Ubuntu desktop computer to use the printer on the XP machine...

I AM able to detect the Lexmark printer from the Ubuntu computer, but when I click the FORWARD button to install the driver, I select "Lexmark" for the Make, but the model (730) does not show up in the list.

How should I remedy this?

thanks

EDIT: I'm using Ubuntu Version 8.04

According to this: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z730 your Lexmark will not work under Linux. Sorry.
