can somebody confirm than the Lexmark X1270 printer scanner copier works with 10.2?
on linuxprinting.org it's said so, but only by user input.
I assume linux-PRINTING only talks about printing. On http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=lexmark&model=X1270 the scanner is listed as unsupported.
I need the scanner and the printer
If you need an all-in-one device for Linux buy it from a manufacturer who supports Linux. In particular regarding printers and all-in-one devices I like HP very much because it is one of the few printer manufacturers which do really support Linux, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ Carefully check http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html in particular http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/unsupported.html It is crucial to have exact model names because small differences in model names can make big differences regarding support status. E.g. LaserJet 1018 and 1020 are not supported by newest HPLIP but LaserJet 1015 and 1022 are supported even by old HPLIP and Color LaserJet 2600 is not supported by newest HPLIP but Color LaserJet 2500 is supported even by old HPLIP and Color LaserJet 2605 is PostScript and doesn't require HPLIP at all. Similar with scanners: HP stand-alone scanners are not very well supported, see http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=hp in contrast to scanners in HP all-in-one devices, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html By the way: Regarding plain printers from Lexmark there is a big difference if a Lexmark inkjet printer or a laser printer is used, see http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/LinuxSupportByPrint... "Lexmark Optra Division" versus "Lexmark JetPrinters".
