Lexmark Printer - No Driver for 13.10
Asked by
Nicholas Coe
I recently began experimenting with Ubuntu 13.10, transitioning from Windows XP. Overall it's much nicer to use except for one major issue: I can't get my Lexmark Pro901 printer to wprint, even after trying both the generic and Lexmark drivers. It's detected, it just won't print. I called Lexmark and they say the most recent version their drivers support is 12.04. What should I do - downgrade to 12.04 (and how do I do that?) or buy a new printer? It's also not exactly easy to figure out which printers are compatible with 13.10 so I'd appreciate any suggestions there too.
Remember I'm brand new to Linux, so any solutions will have to be spelled out in non-technical terms....thanks!
