Lexmark X9575 driver

Post by St1cki3 »

Hey guys first post here and future Linux Mint user! First off, before I decide to install Mint (which seems like a nice OS) I have one question concerning the printer. It's of course a Lexmark X9575, and I searched for it on the 'Hardware Database' on this site, and it wasn't listed at all. Then I Googled it, no luck. Although I did see one for Ubuntu. Well, Mint is based off Ubuntu which is based of Debian...but I want to get a definite confirmation whether or not Mint will support my printer. And supposedly Lexmark doesn't support Linux, is this true? (From what I seen from very few places, I'm ~75% sure that my printer won't work) :?

The only way you'll get a definite confirmation is to boot up the live CD and try to actually print something. If it works, great; if it doesn't, we'll try to help you out.

Thanks for the response! Okay I popped it in and Mint detected that is was there, but couldn't find any drivers for it. Can we somehow use the windows drivers?

There's ndiswrapper, but that only works for wireless cards, not printers.
