    My network printer won't work

    My network uses a Lexmark X5150 printer. I use Ubuntu, which hasn't got a dirver. And since it isn't directly connected to my computer I can't get a proprietry driver. I can't find any online and, since I'm a n00b, can't make my own one. I can send files to my mum via email to print, but that's much more time-consuming and I'd rather print directly.

    Does anybody know where I can find the driver?

    Lexmark is horrible about their drivers for anything that isn't windows. You may want to look at what other people did with that printer. Here is a good example: I have a Lexmark X63 in my basement hooked up to another computer. There is no X63 driver for linux. But, I can use the Z53 driver and it works just fine.
