Lexmark Z1480 driver?

Hello fellow archers.

Has anyone had any luck with the lexmark z1480 printer? Searched all over but can't even find something related to linux....

Thanks for your time

Re: Lexmark Z1480 driver?

its a wireless printer correct?
does your router see it ?
is samba running/setup?

wow if im understanding this correctly this printer just became available to public this month, & since lexmark,like akot of companies arent really sharing to much info with the linux community.
you could try an older ppd file see if it will work
have you looked here at all

Yes, i't's the wifi printer, and I'm actually trying to use it with usb.

Older ppd-files? I haven't found anything about the 1400-series and linux at all, but I'll guess that I can try going from a->b with all the 'z' drivers in the gutenprint package.
I actually didn't think of samba, stupid me, so I'll try going wireless instead in the afternoon.

I'll be in touch
Thanks so far

p,s and yes, I read the wicki and spent hours with google before I started wining for help;)
