lexmark driver support

[Christopher Jackson]

I currently own a lexmark x1185 multi function printer and desperately
want to get it working in Ubuntu.

I can get my digicam ( a Kodak Easyshare DX7590)which has NO linux
drivers to work perfectly for ubuntu.

Can you guys develop a driver update for the driver database so I CAN
install the drivers for my printer? atleast for the printer
functionality? and a driver for the scanner functionality? I am hoping
to break free of my windows XP partition by being able to delete it
forever and run just on ubuntu. but i can't delete the windows partition
until I know everything is setup to work on my linux install.

I love your linux distro as it has to be the EASIEST distrobution to
install and use. I love how quickly the OS installs an dis internet
ready upon installation completion.

please let me know where you stand on this issue as it is the ONLY
hanging point I have with linux aside from driver installation

thanks for your time,
Chris Jackson
