When I bought the Lexmark X5250 I didn't think I was going to have problems=
=20
on Linux, as the printer would be connected to a Windows machine and shared=
=20
through samba. We were using an old Lexmark printer this way and it worked=
=20
fine.
But... surprise! The new Lexmark won't work even when shared through a=20
Windows machine.
