Lexmark Z25 driver

[digital_k]

I have only been using Ubuntu for about a week, everything is runny smoothly. However I cannot seem to get my Lexmark Z25 printer to function . When I run the set up, it is detected as Z25-Z35. When I print a test page , the paper is pulled down into the printer, it pauses, then it spits out a blank page. I checked Lexmark's site, and there are drivers for other versions of Linux, Redhat/Mandrake. Will these work ?
Any help appreciated.

Hmmmm...No one have any ideas???

Lexmark offers crappy support to linux users. For some models (like the higher end ones - which doesn't say much since its a Lexmark) there is an API made available from lexmark for anyone to develop drivers.


Lexmark does not understand open source. Too bad. There are many other printers with top notch linux support. Keep that in mind next time you buy. Sorry.

Dont aswer back saying that linux sucks. Just complain to Lexmark.

Oh I would never say that Linux sucks, I like too much, especially Ubuntu. Thanks anyway.

I got my Z25 working in Xandros a while back, look at this thread from the Xandros forums. I suppose it can be applied to Ubuntu.
