I was hoping that lexmark might have some drivers for this but they sent this reply: I read it as we can'tbe bothered to write drivers for linux. Anyone have a work around for the x4550??

I would like to set up a wireless connection to my x4550 printer from my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10. Is there any linux drivers available for me to do this?
