[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 782674, member: 24098"] If Lexmark hasn't developed a driver, then you're reliant on third parties to do so. According to [URL="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X6170"]this site[/URL], one can use a Lexmark Z55 driver for partial functionality (you'd need to manually choose this from the list of drivers). If that doesn't work, or if the printer doesn't have all the support you're looking for, you're probably going to want to pick up a new printer. In my experience, although Lexmark's printers perform well, the drivers are usually overly-complex (i.e. the "brains" of the printer are in software to cut cost) and the cartridges are prohibitively expensive. So, in the long run, you might be better off just going with a different brand. [/QUOTE]
