Lexmark x5470 don't work with newest puppy
I can't get my Lexmark x5470 to work with the most current puppy release.It will recognize that it is a Lexmark 5400 series but thats where it stops.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm ...
It is rather unfortunate that recent Lexmark printer models are not supported under Linux. From what I gathered, Lexmark has withdrawn their linux printer DDK quite some time ago and the few lexmark drivers that I've found are for outdated models.
The newer models are using a proprietary protocol which lexmark is not gonna tell anyone. I guess you'll just have to give your piece of mind to lexmark.
