They've provided Linux drivers for a long time, but they only maintain them as long as they're selling the corresponding printer. I have a Lexmark Z22 printer that gradually became unusable for this reason. I replaced it with a Samsung laser printer with built-in Fedora driver support. Unless Lexmark open-sources its drivers, their printers aren't worth the trouble. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
