Hi Nick, I've found the Lexmark marketing department seem to get excited about new "models" and give them a different model number, but for all intents and purposes the printer is pretty much the same as it's base model number. For instance a Lexmark 1100 is (probably) pretty much the same as the 1150. Having said that, yours might be an exception to the rule as I'm not familiar with your *specific* model. My comments are based on a long history working with the "Optra" lasers. OK, disclaimer out of the way, see if you get any mileage from this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-1100 Cheers, James -- Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United States we really shouldn't complain -- it's still only two cents a day. pgpRMzJBOY52G.pgp Description: PGP signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

James, Thank you for this. It isn't my printer, just trying to help a friend who's just made the transition from microshite to fedora. I'd done a google but didn't turn up this one, must have been on page 10, the last one you'd look at. I appreciate your time and effort.

I've used it to recommend printers to other people who needed something new that would work in Linux. It's also good to see which manufacturers are supporting F/OSS - if they support the community, I'll support them with my $$$. I even "borrowed" an "internet enabled" lappy at Harvey Norman[1] to double check my Lexmark E232 before buying it :P Hope your friend has a lot of success in Linux - if not, there's a heap of F/OSS available for Win32. Firefox+Thunderbird+OpenOffice = kick arse :) Have fun, James [1] Apparently the lappy was supposed to password protected, but my linux boot floppy soon made light work of their administrator password - heheh -- Celestial navigation is based on the premise that the Earth is the centre of the universe.
