I do not know about that particular model of Dell or Lexmark printer. I do know that at least some of Lexmark's printers work quite well, but it depends a lot on the model. The web page at: http://service.dell.com/dell/kb/tech_support/view_article/1,,967+5835+6285+12749,00.html implies that this particular printer is not going to work well with FreeBSD (since it does not work with Linux). On the other hand, it may be that this web page is talking about support for *all* of the functions in this "all-in-one" printer. It might be that you can get it to work as if it were a plain printer by pretending it is some other model of printer, but I have no idea what would work best. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
