Hello I checked winodws driver of lexmark x83 and it seems that it uses a scanner class driver .
So I tried to do the following probe on linux : modprobe scanner product=0x3d vendor=0x43d and cat /proc/bus/usb/devices indicates that this driver was taken . ( the acceptable parameter information is hided in the scanner.h . Probably lexmark has several versions of x83 and you may want to look at /proc/bus/usb/devices for a product id . Also I updated the firmware and I don't know whether it makes a difference) To verify that it does do something, you can try cat /dev/usb/scanner0 and then turn off the power of yout printer and oberve that cat: /dev/usb/scanner0: Input/output error Turning on the dbg can get something about complaining timeout . Right now I have recompiled the kernle and can not repeat those lines for you. And this is so far that I get about lexmark X83 on linux. and I wished it 's not a joke. I tried some scanning application and it's just silence. The above were done on kernel 2.5.8 and 2.5.12 . I don't know whether there is some breakthrough in the later 2.5.21 kernel. Also I don't know how lexmark treats those higher-layer protocols beyond the usb layer.
