[ubuntu-za] Drivers for Lexmark printer

[Douglas Ulyate]

Yes, rather find out what hardware they need eg. functionality, and
see what works on Linux based on that.  They didn't go that route, and
chose one of the worst possible printers for Linux.  Otherwise, don't
know what else to say.

But, did you check linuxprinting.org, for a possible solution?.

Regards,

Douglas
