    Printer Help

    Hello guys im new to linux and its great but im having trouble getting my printer/scanner working.
    i have a lexmark x2500 all in one printer. i cant find any support for it and i tried alot of things. I did the wine installer to set it up and it only runs half way to where it asks you to connect the printer then it wont reconize the usb. i really need my scanner working because im an artist and scan most my work to my site. if i cant get it to work ill be force to go back to windows please help me get it working thanks inadvance.

    Linux users should visit openprinting.org before shopping.

    OpenPrinting database - Printer: Lexmark x2500

    And sane-project.org

    SANE: Supported Devices



    Wine creates environment for Windows applications to run, hardware drivers are not applications.
