According to http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X4530 this printer in Linux is a paperwight - it won't work.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Perhaps you'll need a dual-boot system with a "bare-bones" Windows Xp or Win98? Note that Windows can be installed after Ubuntu as you'll see from about halfway down this page.

Good luck and regards from

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/re-posting a question just before america arrives online after work/school gives the best chance of getting a good few answers - such is the nature of the internet.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved but please give us a clue how you did manage to solve it and also use the button under where you type stuff in rather than giving me karma credit points for just sending this note to you.

Apologies, good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
