Linux drivers for Lexmark Z2420 printer
« on: December 14, 2010, 12:03:40 PM »
Here's the webpage I found the drivers,
(http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&id=DR20530&locale=EN&userlocale=EN_UK) and they work perfectly in PCLinuxOS 2010. I strongly discourage installing packages this way.It may cause problems, it may not work, it may break your operating system. Proceed at your own risk...........droopy.
