lexmark

It has been a headache trying to install this printer. All the tutorials I found are for older versions of Ubuntu, and none of them work.

How can I install this printer?

HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

I always get an error when extracting the converted tars with all of the tuts, invalid argument or the file doesn't exist.

Looks like, i was missing some ia32 libs .. and that caused the errors with the tar files, anyways i still can't print now i get this, cups-insecure-filter
