Need Linux help?

I have a Lexmark X3470 Printer/scanner. I am running Ubuntu Feisty. I have tried setting up the printer several times and my question is:

Has anyone had success setting up this printer in Ubuntu, and can you point me in the right direction? (also any other *nix versions) Thanks in advance.

Answers:
I checked the Linux Foundation for possible drivers for your printer - you probably did as well. Unfortunately they called the printer a Paperweight which usually means that there hasn't been a driver written for it yet. I have a Dell A960 and I have the same problem. You might be able to get a generic printer driver to work, but with these complex all in one printers there is usually a lot of communication between the device and the PC operating system. That's the reason drivers aren't available for these machines.

Here is the link to the Linux Foundation:
