[SOLVED] Anyone managed to get a Lexmark X1180 printing/scanning?

Has anyone managed to get a Lexmark X1180 printing/scanning?

If so mind sharing how that was accomplished.

Don't know if it will work but I use z600 cups driver from AUR, it is reported to be working on x1270 and x1110. There are also a couple other lexmark drivers in aur as well.

I also bought an x1110 some years ago back in my winblows days. 
I had the scanner partly working before i threw it in the shed.  I was never able to get the printer working

By partly working I mean the whole A4 scan did not work, it would capture a quarter of the page and blank the rest out.

I'm not sure if the error was with the hardware or software. I remember I used it via Gimp and I think it was on Ubuntu 6.04
I just gave up. There are so many working brands out there, Lexmark just isn't one of them.

I feel like I'm consorting with the enemy suggesting this, but I've heard reviews from people using Debian, OpenSuSE, and Slackware using this walkthrough who said it worked perfectly, so maybe it'll help you (with a bit of tweaking I suspect)

Victory!

The z600 cups driver from AUR works great. Now to get the scanning working...
