The Lexmark is an X215 multi function and the Canon is an MF4370

I can get the Canon to print using the

 UFR_II_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Driver_V180_uk_EN

butg no other functions such as PCFax or scanning.

The Lexmark only works under windows and after switching to a non 
Lexmark print cart it simply shut down and will not function anymore at 
all.  I have had the misfortune of using Lexmark printers in my business 
(part of a nationally purchased POS system so I had no choice in 
printers) and they were nothing but trouble. I bought the Lex because it 
was a good price for a MFC at the time but have regretted the waste of 
time and money it brought upon me ever since. Never again will I buy or 
use another Lexmark printer.
