A trip to: http://linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Lexmark Will show that it is not supported. Ken

According to YourBestFriend*(tm), google.com/linux, the x5100 is *not* supported by linux. http://linuxprinting.org also does not list this printer as supported, nor does ESP or TurboPrint. google.com/linux *is* your first stop for support questions, but it is much easier just to ask the group! charges follow -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Lexmark does provide some Linux drivers, have your friend check the Lexmark site for those or his driver disk. Basically, he would do well to get a "good" printer that is supported, HP or Epson and either use the Lexmark for a door stop or give/sell to an unsuspecting Windows user! :o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.7 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 Those Who Dance Are Considered Insane, by Those That Cannot Hear the Music!
